While the school may occasionally request it, it\u2019s not strictly necessary since payments are automatically recorded in the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I pay school fees using the control number for an amount less than the full fee?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, you can make a partial payment by adjusting the preset amount and entering the specific amount you have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If I pays school fees without using the control number, what happens? Will I still have outstanding debt?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No, your payment hasn\u2019t been lost. If you happen to pay fees through regular means without using the control number, you\u2019ll need to submit the receipt to the school\u2019s accounting office. They will then record the payment in the system. There\u2019s a feature that allows the accountant to input payments made outside the control number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"693\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.shulesoft.africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Screenshot-2024-07-19-121541-1024x693.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-431\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.shulesoft.africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Screenshot-2024-07-19-121541-1024x693.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog.shulesoft.africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Screenshot-2024-07-19-121541-300x203.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.shulesoft.africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Screenshot-2024-07-19-121541-768x520.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.shulesoft.africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Screenshot-2024-07-19-121541.png 1167w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can the system generate receipts for TRA?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, you can generate TRA receipts with a scannable QR code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What makes ShuleSoft perfect solution for your school fees management?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With ShuleSoft, you can enhance the flow of fee payments by enabling parents to pay promptly.
