Payments, bank transfers, credit notes, and refunds
Record a payment or a bank transfer, check a family's proof of payment, issue a credit note, cancel a bill, or refund a payment.
Open the bill
Open Billing and click the bill. A sent bill has an Actions menu. You record payments, credit notes, and cancellations from this menu.

Record a payment
- Click Actions, then Record Payment.
- Enter the Amount and choose the Payment Method.
- Click Record Payment.
The amount cannot be more than the family still owes.

Record a bank transfer
One bank transfer can pay several bills.
- Click Actions, then Record Bank Transfer.
- Enter the date it was Received on, the bank's Reference, and the Amount received.
- FutureNerds puts the money on the family's open bills, oldest first. Change the amounts if you need to, until Left to assign is 0.
- Click Record Transfer.

Check a proof of payment
A family can upload proof of a payment they made outside the app. The bill then shows Review Needed and is listed under Needs Reconciling. Open the Proof of payment card and click Confirm or Reject.

Issue a credit note or cancel a bill
- Issue Credit Note credits the whole bill and cancels it. You can add a Reason.
- Cancel Invoice cancels a bill the family no longer owes.
If a registration fee changes after it was billed, the difference is credited on the family's next bill.

Refund a payment
A paid bill has Refund. A card payment is refunded through Stripe. For a payment made outside the app, select the box to confirm you returned the money, then refund it.
Follow an installment plan
A bill with an installment plan shows each installment, what is paid, and what is due next. After each payment, the bill's due date moves to the next unpaid installment.
