Managing deposits

Managing deposits

Invoices for deposits can be created and sent to parents from the child's profile. Separate records are kept for deposit invoices and deposit payments. Records for deposit payments are added automatically once a deposit invoices is fully paid off, or you can add them manually. From there, it can be refunded, transferred to another child, or allocated to an invoice.
