What each family owes, and why. You will raise invoices: for a whole class at once, and for one child, with a discount.

> **Note:** Sign in to HTT Schools as an administrator of your school to follow these steps.

## Step by step

### 1. Invoices

Open Finance, then the Invoices tab. Every bill the school has raised is here, with what is still owed.

*Step 1: Invoices*

### 2. Generate for a class

At the start of term, press Generate for a class. It reads the class’s fee structure and makes a draft bill for every child in it, optional items included only if you tick them.

### 3. Drafts first

The bills are drafts: nobody owes anything until you check them and issue them. We will close this, and make one bill by hand instead.

### 4. One child

For a bill that is only for one child — extra lessons, say — press One child, and find them by name or admission number.

### 5. What is charged

Describe what is being charged and the amount. Add another line for anything else. The subtotal adds up as you go.

### 6. Create the draft

Press Create draft. The new draft appears at the top of the list — open it. Until it is issued, you can change it as much as you like.

*Step 6: Create the draft*

### 7. A discount

To reduce the bill — a scholarship, a bursary, a second child in the school — press Add a discount. Choose the kind, a percentage or a fixed amount, and write down why. The reason stays on the invoice.

### 8. The summary

The summary shows the subtotal, the discount, and the total now owed — ten percent off fifteen thousand naira.

*Step 8: The summary*

### 9. Issue it

When the bill is right, press Issue it. From then it is owed, the lines are locked, and the family sees it in their portal, ready to pay.

### 10. Delete the draft

This was only practice, so we delete the draft instead. A draft was never sent, so it simply disappears.
