How can I verify the accuracy of the fee collection report and ensure it displays the correct amounts for each fee category?

To ensure that the Fee Collection Report reflects the correct amounts for different fee categories, follow these steps:

---

Step 1: Understand the Fee Collection Report

1. Purpose: The fee collection report shows the breakdown of all fees collected, categorized by fee heads, installments, and payment methods (online/offline).
2. Details to Verify:
   • Fee categories (e.g., tuition, transportation, library).
   • Installments and due dates.
   • Total amount collected and balances.
   • Adjustments such as fines, concessions, and refunds.

Step 2: Navigate to the Fee Collection Report

1. Go to Transactions → Finance → Fee → Fee Report.
2. Select the desired date range and filters (e.g., fee category, class, or student).
3. Generate the report and download it if needed for detailed analysis.

Step 3: Verify Fee Categories and Amounts

1. Cross-Check Fee Categories:
   • Go to Settings → Finance → Fee → Fee Structure.
   • Verify that all fee categories (fee heads) are correctly mapped to the respective classes and students.
2. Match Collected Amounts:
   • Compare the amounts collected in the report with the expected fee amounts in the fee structure.
   • Ensure any adjustments (e.g., fines, concessions) are reflected correctly.

Step 4: Reconcile with Fee Receipts

1. Verify Receipts for Random Samples:
   • Pick a few receipts from the Fee Collection Report and cross-check the amounts against the actual receipts issued to students.
   • Go to Transactions → Finance → Fee → Fee Collection to view individual receipts.
2. Check Receipt Details:
   • Ensure that the receipt contains the correct breakdown of amounts for each fee head, installment, and adjustments.

Step 5: Reconcile with Settlement Report (For Online Payments)

1. Generate Settlement Report:
   • Go to Transactions → Finance → Payment Gateway → Settlement Report.
   • Download the report and compare it with the Fee Collection Report to verify online payment settlements.
2. Match Transaction IDs:
   • Use the receipt or transaction ID to trace discrepancies in the amounts settled through the payment gateway.

Step 6: Validate Adjustments and Deductions

1. Concessions:
   • Go to Settings → Finance → Fee → Fee Concession.
   • Verify if concessions applied to students are reflected correctly in the report.
2. Fines and Penalties:
   • Check the fine rules (e.g., late fee logic) in Settings → Finance → Fee → Fine Configuration.
   • Ensure that fines charged are accurate and listed separately in the report.

Step 7: Resolve Discrepancies

1. Identify the Source:
   • Check whether the discrepancy is due to incorrect fee structure mapping, receipt generation errors, or adjustments.
2. Make Corrections:
   • Update the fee structure, concessions, or fines in the respective configuration settings.
   • Re-generate the report after corrections.

Example Scenarios

• Scenario 1: A student is charged both a fine and a concession. Verify that the report reflects these amounts correctly under the respective fee head.
• Scenario 2: For online payments, ensure that the transaction appears both in the Fee Collection Report and the Settlement Report after reconciliation.
