Go to Core › Discount Types. Fill Discount Type and Description, press Create. The list below holds every concession reason your school uses — Sibling, Staff Child, Orphan, Merit, and so on.
This screen names the reason only
It holds no figure and no percentage. The value is typed in later, on the student's own record, which is why the same reason can be worth different sums for different families.
So there is nothing to enter here except a name and a description.
The built-in row
Teacher's Son/Daughter is a system row: no edit or delete button, and the server refuses both, because other parts of the system point at it. Leave it and add your own types beside it.
Steps
- Go to Core › Discount Types
- Type the name and a short description
- Press Create
- The type is now selectable on a student's record
Common confusion
"Can I remove a type we stopped using?" Only while no student carries it. Once one does, the system keeps the row so their history still reads correctly.
"Is this the same as putting a family on a cheaper plan?" No. A whole group priced differently belongs on its own fee plan list; a type here is for a single family's exception.
