Fees Type

A Fees Type is a category label for classifying school fees (e.g., Registration Fee, Tuition Fee, Library Fee, Laboratory Fee). Fee types are the first building block of the fees module — you assign them to fee configurations when creating a fee for a class.

Set up Fee Types first

You must create Fee Types before you can configure fees under Manage Fee. Each compulsory or optional fee line in a fee configuration references a Fee Type.

Editing a Fee Type affects display only

Renaming a Fee Type updates the label everywhere it is referenced (fee configurations, student fee screens, receipts). It does not change existing payment records.

Delete a Fees Type​

Click the Delete button
In the Action column, click the **Delete** (trash) icon next to the fee type.
2
Confirm deletion
A confirmation dialog appears. Click **Confirm** to soft-delete the fee type.
Cannot delete fee types in use

If the Fee Type is currently used in any fee configuration (compulsory or optional), the system will prevent deletion. Remove all references first.

Restore a Deleted Fees Type​

Deleted fee types are soft-deleted and can be recovered:

  1. In the fee type list, click the Trashed tab to view deleted items
  2. Click Restore next to the fee type you want to recover
  3. The fee type returns to the active list

To permanently remove a fee type, click Force Delete from the Trashed view.
