In summary, these settings enable you to control the way FeeMaster works in a number of critical areas.

In 'General' settings, the first two options ebable you to specify the format of nominal and finance codes, using the convention of 'n' for a number and 'a' for an alpha character.  Thus 'aannn' would only allow the entry of codes with 2 letters followed by 3 numbers (eg. FL123).  You can also use separators (eg. aaa-nnnn) which would allow a code such as ABC-1234.

The 'Using Tax' setting will enable the system to output to your accounting system taking account of any tax included in the transactions (eg. VAT).

'Using Measurements' is a specialist feature which most schools will not require.

Configure Finance Boarder Types allows boarding schools to select from the pre-defined types of boarding arrangements which affect are to be used as boarding fees.

Invoice numbering can be automatic or manual.

The way the pupils' names are displayed can be specified.

Receipts can be created from receipt postings, and can be auto or manually numbered.

The system is capable of printing currency descriptions in words (for example 'Pounds' for '£').

For single invoices, the system can be set to print them immediately upon generation, and to jump to the receipt generator immediately.
