How Payment Requests Work
When a staff member (not admin) collects a fee, it goes through an approval flow:- Staff records the payment → it becomes a Payment Request
- Admin reviews and approves or rejects it
- On approval, the payment is added to the student’s balance and a receipt is generated
For Staff — Submitting a Request
Go to Fees, find the student, and click Collect Fee. Fill in the details and submit. The payment will show as Pending until approved.For Admins — Reviewing Requests
Go to Fees → Pending Requests. You’ll see all requests submitted by staff with:- Student name
- Amount
- Payment method
- Date collected
- Staff member who collected
Pending payment requests are also shown in the dashboard Attention Feed so admins don’t miss them.
