Adjust Fee Assignments
Important Information about Adjusting Fees
When adjusting fees, note the following.
- When subtracting an amount, the fee may not be adjusted more than the Fee Assignment amount or the remaining balance, whichever is greater.
- When subtracting a percentage, entered values can be between .001% and 100%.
Adjustment Scenarios
- If a fee assignment does not have child transactions, the balance is adjusted by the value or percentage that you enter.
- If a fee assignment has adjustments, the balance is still adjusted by the value or percentage that you enter.
- No changes can be made to voided fees.
- A fee assignment that has a single payment either in full or partial:
- If the payment was made in full, the payment will be voided and the money will be noted as a surplus. If the adjustment was not 100% of the fee assignment, the remainder will be auto-paid to the fee assignment in order to pay the fee in full.
- If the payment was partial, the balance is checked to see if it is greater than or equal to the adjusted amount.
- If the balance is greater than or equal to the adjusted amount, an adjustment will be created for that fee assignment.
- If the balance is not greater than or equal to the adjusted amount, the payment is voided and the money is marked as a surplus. The adjustment is made then the fee balance is paid out of the surplus.
- Multiple payments can be made to pay the balance. When adjusting fee assignments, adjustments are made first by type then size of payment. Online payments are voided last.
- An adjustment was made after an online payment was made. There are two ways to handle this:
- Make a refund for the amount of the adjustment using the Payments Reporter tool.
- Deposit the amount of the adjustment to the surplus on the Fees tool.
Adjustments to fee assignments are noted on the student's Fees tab on the Edit Fee Assignment window.
