How this functional work:
Real Tuition -Tuition adjustment = Tuition for specific user
Example1.
User paid $4725.00 for Plumbing Class 3/20 via website. For some reason he was visiting ¼ of the whole duration, but in the future he is going to proceed studying in another Plumbing class 5/15  (¾ of duration). 

  1. In class payment tab you can see payment record with the following data:

Payment method: Authorize.Net, Paid: $ 200

  1. Now you need to make tuition adjustment, hover three dots next to class record and click “Add tuition adjustment”. User was attending only ¼ of whole duration, so he needs to pay only ¼ of tuition, In “Adjustment” field enter $3543,75

Real Tuition($4725) -Tuition adjustment(X) = Tuition for specific user($1181,25)

X=$3543,75

  1. Now you can see $3543,75 overpayment for Plumbing Class 3/20 and you need to move this money to User’s balance.

  2. Hover three dots next to Plumbing Class 3/20 and choose “To balance”. You can see how much funds you can move to the user's balance. In the “Paid” field enter 3543.75 and this money will be moved to the user's balance.

  4. Now you need to make tuition adjustment for Plumbing class 5/15, hover three dots next to class record and click “Add tuition adjustment”. User will  attend  3/4 of the whole duration, so he needs to pay 3/4 of tuition, let’s calculate adjustment

¾  from $4725= $3543,75

Real Tuition($4725) -Tuition adjustment(X) = Tuition for specific user($3543,75)

X=$1181,25 

  1. In “Adjustment” field enter $1181,25

  2. Now you can see that on User’s balance there is $3543.75 and you should use them as payment for Plumbing class 5/15.

  3. Click three dots next to Plumbing class 5/15 and choose “Add payment”. As payment method choose “From user’s balance”, in the “Paid” field enter $3543.75.

Example 2.
User paid a deposit for the 4/20 class, but wants to take part in the 3/23 PM class. Tuition for these classes is the same: $4725.

1.  At the beginning you have to add a $200 deposit for 4/20 class (if the user hasn’t paid via the site).

To do it click three dots next to class, choose “Add Payment”, select Payment method and enter $200 in “Paid $” field.

2.  As the user isn’t going to take part in this Class, you need to correct Tuition for him. To do it you need to use “Tuition adjustment” functional. Hover three dots next to class and choose “Add tuition adjustment”. For this user price for 4/20 class must be 0, so in “Adjustment” field input $4725:

Real Tuition($4725) -Tuition adjustment(X) = Tuition for specific user($0)

X=$4725

3.  In 4/20 class you would see $200 overpayment.

4.  Click three dots next to 4/20 class, choose To balance and move $200 to user balance.

5.  Now you have $200 on the user's balance.

6.  In order to add a deposit for the 3/23 PM class, you need to click three dots next to that class and choose Add payment. In the Payment method you must choose "From user's balance", you will see how much money is on the user's balance and you will be able to use them as deposit
