Where to look
Admissions › All Paid Challans. The checkbox is called Combine Selected Challans and it sits above the grid. It is ticked by default.
Why you were getting one slip per month
The software keeps one payment record per month. That is deliberate — it is what your fee reports, outstanding figures and Fee Defaulters lists are built from, and it is why you can still see exactly which month a rupee was paid against, years later.
Combining does not change any of that. It changes only what gets printed: the selected months are grouped onto one receipt per student.
How to print one combined receipt
- Open Admissions › All Paid Challans.
- Filter so that only the months you want are on screen — by student, or by payment date.
- Tick the rows to include.
- Check that Combine Selected Challans is ticked.
- Press Print Thermal, Print Horizontal or Print Vertical. All three produce one receipt per student.
What the combined receipt shows
- Every month, listed separately and in date order, each with its own amount.
- One total for the whole receipt.
- The most recent payment date of the months it covers. If the family paid some months last week and the rest today, the receipt is dated today — that is the day they finished paying.
- Every challan number the receipt covers.
- The receipt number(s), if your school fills the Receipt No. box when taking payment. A combined receipt can cover more than one payment, so it lists each number rather than picking one — anyone reconciling against a bank statement can then find them all. If you leave that box empty, the line does not appear at all.
- Total Outstanding, if the family still owes anything on other challans.
If you want a separate slip per month
Untick Combine Selected Challans before printing. Each selected month then prints on its own receipt, exactly as before.
Two things people ask about
“The date looks wrong.” The combined receipt shows the latest payment date among the months on it, not the date of the oldest month.
“Why did I get three receipts?” Receipts group by student. If you selected months for three children you get three receipts — a combined receipt is never per family.
