Hi,
We have been in discussion on what would be better to have a fee associated with a particular class added at the course level or to have billing rules to add the fee? for instance we have a class PTH 500 that will have a $100.00 fee attached. In our discussions it was noted that if we have it at the course level it will have less chance for errors. Please let me know what you would suggest. If it is to add the fee at course level we would need a space to do that as right now you can only add fees at the class level.
Thanks

Hello!
We will need to have a meeting to go over the details. There are several billing schema's in the system. Billing rules (which is how your school does charges) allow for fine tuning who gets a charge and how much. It also allows the system to run through refund rules based on when a student withdraws from a course (if the fees are eligible for partial refunds). You also run many things based on a entry billing year determining the applicable fees. This is only possible through billing rules and not a fixed value. These are examples and none of these things may be pertinent to this specific fee. However, I believe the best reason to use billing rules is it creates one methodology for generating the charges. Putting a fee on a course at the course level is a generic billing methed that uses a different billing schema and thus would be harder to track down how the fee is billed as it would not use billing rules and instead would use course fee charge, TR code billing methodology. We can have a meeting next week to go over this in detail.

Please mark this one as resolved. We worked on it yesterday and was able to get the fee created.
