Unapplied Credits

You can use the Unapplied Credits page to locate credit transactions that are not yet applied for multiple students and apply the credits for those students.

You can: 

  • Select individual students and select specific debits or have Anthology Student apply the credit to debits in the order they are listed for the student

  • Have Anthology Student automatically apply the credits for all the students using the payment apply order configured by your institution (Select the Configuration tile > expand Student Accounts > select Credits Apply Order.)

For example, you can:

  • Automatically clean up applied payments if disbursements or payments come in out of the expected posting order

  • If you just configured Anthology Student to automatically apply credits, apply credits using the configuration

If Anthology Student is integrated with Anthology Finance & HCM, the following details are sent to Anthology Finance & HCM during the release to the general ledger event: 

  • Payment Transaction ID

  • Transaction IDs for the charges towards which the payment was applied

  • Amount applied towards each charge

Reversal charges cannot be automatically applied because you cannot define an applied order.

You can then use the page to review all the batches that have been processed.

Prerequisites

  • Common - Processes - View authorization
