    NB: Schools can create a new term and import configuration into a new term without license code when they want to. This allows them to prepare a school fee bill against the next term for parents/guardians to view their ward's school bill.




    Right after creating the new term, you need to set up the term information i.e. (Resumption date, Vacation date, Next term resumption date, NOTE: This information can be modified after the initial setup). It defines the accurate number of days school is open within the term.
