Post Charges

You can post charges for a student in the ledger card.

If the General Settings for Student Accounts are configured to allow posting to:

  • Any Campus, you can post transactions for a student at any campus

  • The Current Campus, you can only post to an enrollment at the student's current campus. If you try to post the transaction to another campus, a message indicates that you are not signed into the campus and posting is not allowed.
