It will be very useful to be able to upload documents to a pupil's record in the fee billing module. For example, we have Direct debit mandates or parent's communications with account's information that we would like to upload in this module which...

Many of our pupils have more than one bursary or scholarship type and as these are input via percentages, it would be useful to disable negative balances in the fees total to prevent any errors being made by over crediting.

We have occasions where we retain a deposit rather than return it but there is no way of recording this in Fee Billing. It would be good to have a tick box to say "Retained" so that it can't subsequently be returned in error and it isn't included ...

Currently fee billing is capable of processing charges against nominal accounts with no cost centre or department, or those with both a cost centre and department only, but not with only one. For iFinance users, this means you have to have BI code...
