Release 177 Overview

PayByParentPay Receipts Update

The ParentPay Reference ID (Transaction ID) has been included in the PaybyParentPay Shop email sent to the School Manager / Shop Manager. The Payer's postal address, and any other available contact details, have also been included in the PaybyParentPay Shop email sent to the School Manager / Shop Manager.

Editing Payer E-Mail Address

School Managers can now edit a Payers email address from within the Manager application. 

Changes to End of Year Assistant (EOY)

Extending or Adding Meal Patterns via EOY Assistant 

EOY Assistant will now be prompted to remind a School Manager that they will potentially need to extend or add meal patterns. The option to Update meal patterns will be available once the Update meal/session prices section has been completed.

When a School Manager clicks the Update meal patterns option they will be directed to the Extend or add meal patterns page

Uploading New Pupils via EOY Assistant 

School Managers now have the option to upload new pupils via the End Of Year Assistant. The Update new pupils page is displayed once the Update meal/session prices mandatory task has been completed. When a School Manager clicks Upload new pupils they are directed to the Pupil upload page.

EOY Assistant Navigation Bar

It was reported that the main menu bar was missing from the page when a School Manager accessed the End of Year Assistant. The main menu bar was not visible on the page and the only option a School Manager had was to click Home to return to the Home page.

A fix has been deployed to ensure a School Manager is able to view, and access, the main menu bar when they are within the End of Year wizard.

Duplicated Balances Fix

An issue was reported when a Parent/Carer attempted to make a booking via the Parent application for a child, but there were other pupils on the account that had a debt against other payment items. In the example reported, when the Payer added the booking to the basket, any other payment items having a debit balance on the account were also added for payment to the basket.

The example also included a debt for an archived payment item. The system was adding all balance payment items (showing a debt) for every child on the Parent Account to the basket, which should not happen.

A fix has been deployed to ensure only the required payment for the booking being made for the relevant child is added to the basket for payment to the Parent Account. This will ensure the Payer is able to successfully pay for, and secure, the relevant booking

Clubs Global Flag Permissions Fix

An issue was reported if a school site was previously enabled for the Clubs module, and had created Clubs within the module, and then the Clubs global flag was set to off for the school site. It was discovered that, once the Clubs global flag was set to off, the Clubs Permission section was still visible in Contacts (accessed via People > Pupils and staff > select pupil) and Booking permissions (accessed via People > Payers > select Payer).

A fix has been deployed to ensure the Clubs Permission section is not visible when the Clubs global flag is set to off.

Paying for Clubs via Bank Transfer

When paying for a club via bank transfer if the Payer had no Bank Transfer mandate already created they were redirected to the Direct Debit mandate page to complete the mandate. However, when the Payer clicked Continue > Confirm details and pay the payer encountered an error message

A fix has been deployed to ensure a Payer, attempting to pay by Bank Transfer for a Club, is able to successfully set up a new Bank Transfer mandate and can successfully make a payment for a Club
