Where do I record income other than fee — canteen rent, a donation, hall booking — in the Finance module (Add Other Income)?

Finance › Add Other Income records money the school received that did not come through a fee challan — what a school calls fee ke ilawa aamdani: canteen or shop rent, a donation, hall booking, sale of old furniture. You say which income account it belongs to and which cash or bank account it went into.

Common ways this is asked: canteen ka kiraya kahan likhein, donation kis account mein daalna hai, fee ke bagair jo paisa aata hai wo kaise enter karein.

Fee income does not go here

Money paid against a challan reaches the finance module on its own the moment the challan is paid — the entry carries the student, class, challan number and receipt number in its memo. Typing it again on this screen would count it twice.

Steps

1. Go to Finance › Add Other Income
2. Check the Transaction Date — it starts on today
3. In Select Dr Account pick the account the money went into (Cash, or a bank account) — Assets accounts only
4. Check Campus — the first campus is filled in for you
5. In the table pick an Account from your Income headings, type the Amount and a Memo
6. Add More (or press Enter) for another line; the bin removes a line — the first line cannot be removed
7. Read the Total, press Save. The form clears for the next entry

What is posted

Each line is a credit to that income account, and one balancing debit for the total goes to the cash or bank account you chose. It is a normal finance entry — you will see it in Journal Inquiry, GL Inquiry, the Cash Report and the P & L Statement.

Rules you will run into

• Save is disabled until date, Dr account and campus are chosen.
• Every line needs both an account and an amount; the message names the line that is missing one.
• Whole rupees only — an amount with paisa is refused on save.
• The date cannot be after today. How far back you may go follows the Challan Payment Date Restriction on your own user (Admin › Users & Privileges) — the same window that limits challan payment dates.
• Only active accounts are listed, and only those under an Income heading. A rent account filed under Assets by mistake will not appear — fix it in Finance › Chart of Accounts.
• No edit on this page. Correct a saved entry from Finance › Journal Inquiry.

Who can use it

The permission is the same as Journal Entry (Finance → Journal Entry, create). Add Expense is the mirror of this screen — same form, debits and credits the other way round.
