Overview

The Accounting Module in Paradigm is an extension to the financial processes your business or institution can do to a student enrolment record. This feature will provide you a safe avenue to create an invoice, accept payments, pay off invoices, and the flexibility to make some adjustments to invoices which would include issuing credit notes to recording customer returns.

Other notable features that you can do within the Accounting module are: (1) adding and editing of non-tuition products (e.g. textbook, ID Card, Enrolment Fee, etc.), (2) adding internal discounts and scholarships, (3) the ability to search all payments given a criteria, (4) and most importantly – the option to do everything in bulk.

NOTE

To access the Accounting Menu in Paradigm, it is assumed that you have the minimum required level access, and an understanding that making changes within this section have wider system implications. The Accounting Section of the system is only accessible by Flex Admin, Full Admin, and Accounting Level Access.

BE ADVISED

It is important that any users have a high level of understanding of the system before accessing and using the Accounting section of the system.

In particular:

Fee Rules, see Scheduled Unit Fee Rules
Timings of various key milestones in Higher Education reporting (Census dates and HEPCAT / TCSI Reporting)
