One-Time Billing Page
Use this page to bill multiple students for one or more fee items. You can select students using criteria from demographic records.
This option is useful if you need to bill a group of students for a fee or set of fees and will not be billing these students again. If the same group of students will be billed again for these or other fee items, you should set up a Fee Group and then run the Create Billed Items option instead of using the One-Time Billing option.

Tip
The billing date assigned to fees affects fees processing. When you run fees reports, you can enter a date range to select the fees to include based on the billed date. When automatic payments are applied for students, fee items are paid in order by priority code and then billing date. Additionally, if your district has policies based on fees being paid within a certain number of days after the bills are sent to guardians, then you would enter the date that bills are to be sent home.
