Discount percentages may not be the same for all fee codes that are discounted. Discounts are separate from scholarships or grants that are handled through the Financial Aid Office.
Your organization may offer discounts to persons who are taking classes and who meet certain criteria. Discounts are set up like other charges including definition and table records. You may think of discounts as a regular charge whose charge type is D. They are defined using the Charges Definition table and Charges Detail table (discount sample).
The student variables must be defined on the Charge Definition table in order to check for the discount. An easy method is to use the Discount Type column on the Student Master table. Each student who is to receive a discount should have a code in this column indicating the kind of discount they are receiving.
· Step 1: A discount fee code must be created to include all discount rates.
· Step 2: Define a fee code of DS on the Charge Detail table with discount rates.
· Step 3: Attach the DS fee code to a fee code on the Charge Detail.
