Collection pulse

Billed, collected and outstanding for the term, with the defaulter count beside it.

What you get
  • One dial for the collection rate, so a bad term is obvious without opening a report
  • Outstanding in rupees for the current term, not a lifetime total
  • Built from the same figures the fee module reconciles against

Fee collection is the number a management committee asks about first, so it has its own place on the dashboard: billed, collected and outstanding for the current term, with the count of families behind on payment beside it.

The term, not all time

Outstanding is shown for the term you are in. A lifetime total flatters a new school and frightens an old one, and neither figure tells you whether this term is going well.

One dial you can read across a room

The collection rate is a single dial. A term running behind is obvious without opening a report, which matters when the person who needs to know is the one least likely to run one.

The same figures the ledger reconciles

The dial is built from the invoices and receipts in the fee module, not a separate summary table. What the dashboard shows and what the ledger reconciles to are the same numbers.

Questions

What schools ask about collection pulse

Are concessions counted in the billed figure?

Billed is the amount after concessions, because that is what the school is actually owed. A concession is applied when the invoice is generated, not deducted afterwards.

Does an online payment show immediately?

Yes. Online payments and counter payments land in the same daybook, so both move the dial as they are recorded.
