Housing Extra (object)

Note: This requires the Housing Extension Package.

This object/record is related to any extra allowances that go with housing - e.g. meal plans, parking, etc.

It is used for linking a Fee to a student's Housing, so that the student can be billed for accommodation (see use case: Housing for Students‍).

When creating Housing Extras, you can link to a Fee record, and set a Quantity. These fields are used to create the Fee Line when generating Housing Fees.

You will also need to specify Applicable Term Labels. The Fee will only be applied to Student Fees in matching Terms.

Only Housing Extras with Status = “Submitted” or “Allocated” will be considered.

There are 2 checks on the generation of Housing Extra Fee Lines (when the "Generate Housing Fees" field on a Student Fee is checked).

Check 1:

If any Housing Extra’s ‘Fee’ has the value ‘Year’ for the Fee Unit field, and,

already has a Fee Line created for any Student Fee in the current year,

• (defined as any Student Fee with the same Program Enrollment as the Housing Extra, and with the value of the PE Pathway’s Term’s Parent Term’s Type field equal to ‘School Year’),

then, no new Fee Line is created for this Housing Extra.

This is to support the annual payment by academic year use case.

Check 2:

In use cases other than the annual payment by academic year, an additional check has been added (v1.4) that skips the Fee Line creation for Housing Extras, if their date range does not overlap with the PE Pathway’s Term’s date range.
