If you are a new school switching to using ParentPay you may have opening balances for various payment items that you already have in school such as dinner money.
You are able to enter any opening balances onto the ParentPay system once a relevant
payment item has been created.
INFO
For school meals, you will need to enter the opening balances on the last school day prior to going live using ParentPay for Dinner Money Management.
