Is anyone using Fees Application to assign required annual payments for device insurance?
We can easily add the fees for all users at a set time (although it would be nice to schedule sending invoices). Two problems we are trying to solve now are:
- How to apply fees for any new users enrolled after the date when we initially added them to existing accounts. There is currently no way to filter on “Date Added” for Student Accounts. Have looked at using Rules engine as a possibility for solving this without any luck.
- How to manage fees for students that are enrolling for the first time and don’t have an account created until they actually complete online enrollment! Kind of a cart before the horse thing. Our only option here might be after the fact.
Our best solution might be to not assign fees until after school begins and manually process the one-offs (all year long ;~).
The goal is for the fee to be paid prior to distributing devices and of course campus admins want them distributed on day 1.
