How can I configure a fee challan for a school?

Configuring a fee challan involves two parts — setting up the autonumbering and mapping the challan template.

Part 1: Configure Auto-Numbering

1. Navigate to Settings > Finance > Fee > Fee Autonumbering Sequence
2. Click on the (+) Add icon
3. Configure the auto-numbering as required:
   • Sequence Name (e.g., Fee Challan)
   • Prefix (e.g., CHAL, FC etc.)
   • Variable (set to 0 or a desired number) – If you set to 0, Numbering will start from its next number as 1
   • Suffix (e.g., /2026) – This is optional field
   • Apply To: Fee Challan (Radio button)
4. Click Add to save the sequence

This ensures each challan receives a unique auto-generated number.

Part 2: Map the Fee Challan Template

1. Go back to Settings > Finance > Fee
2. Click on Fee Challan Template
3. Click on Create New
4. Click Click here to select to choose the template > Click Next
5. Select the Classes to which the challan is applicable > Click Next
6. Select the Fee Challan Autonumbering you created earlier > Click Done

Once completed, newly generated fee challans will automatically carry a unique number and follow the mapped template, ensuring consistent formatting and reducing manual errors.
