For bursars and Directors. The Finance → Balances page is a follow-up list, not just a table. Balances are for the term in the header selector.

  1. Open Finance → Balances. The table is already sorted by Balance (high to low) — largest amounts owed first.
  2. Switch on Owing only to hide students who have cleared their balance.
  3. If a parent calls about their child, search by name or admission number instead of scrolling.
  4. Choose Call list for a printable page of everyone owing — name, class, parent phone, and balance, largest first. Hand it to whoever phones parents.
  5. When a parent pays, use the row’s Collect button. It opens Finance → Fees with that student pre-selected — record the payment and print the receipt.

What does B/F mean on this page? Brought forward — unpaid amounts from earlier terms, added to this term’s billed amount. See the glossary.
