Overview

This is a new feature introduced in RIO Education v3.24.

The Allow Fee to Skip Terms enhancement improves the Student Fee Generation process by allowing optional non-tuition fees to be skipped when no corresponding Fee Schedule Term is configured.

Prior to this enhancement, the entire Student Fee Generation process would fail if any non-tuition fee did not have a matching Fee Schedule Term, even if the fee was optional. This prevented all other valid fees from being generated.

With this enhancement, it can configure whether a fee should be skipped or treated as mandatory during fee generation for some terms.

How It Works

During Student Fee Generation, the system checks whether a Fee Schedule Term exists for each non-tuition fee.

The behavior depends on the Allow Fee to Skip Terms field.

Scenario 1 – Allow Fee to Skip Terms = TRUE

If:

• A Fee Schedule Term is not defined, and Allow Fee to Skip Terms is TRUE

Then:

• The fee is skipped.
• No error is thrown.
• Student Fee Generation continues processing the remaining eligible fees.

This allows optional fees to be excluded without interrupting the overall fee generation process.

Scenario 2 – Allow Fee to Skip Terms = FALSE

If:

• A Fee Schedule Term is not defined, and Allow Fee to Skip Terms is FALSE

Then:

• Student Fee Generation stops.
• No Student Fees are generated.
• The following error is displayed:

No Fee Schedule Term found for Fee - <Fee Name> (<Fee Record URL>) and Term (<Term Record URL>) for Fixed Term Non Tuition Fee.

This ensures that mandatory fees cannot be omitted due to missing configuration.
