This article is the fourth part of our self-learn series. The initial setups in Finance should be performed after completing the initial setups in Admissions. Once the initial setups in Finance is completed, kindly read Self-Learn Academic.

Finance is a module available for Sqayy CMS users upon subscription. The finances module allows user to generate bills, record payments, send invoice reminders, record refunds, generate ageing reports, allow students to print receipt and more.

User would no longer have to keep student and applicant information in a spreadsheet. This demolishes the practice of having different list of students according to departments. All departments will have the same list of students and applicants. Finance staff will not have to worry about generating bills to students that are not Active as system will auto generate bills only to Active students.
