annual promotion carries unpaid fees as one opening balance
New feature shipped to Inkwelly— India's most actively developed school management software. This change is in production at real Indian schools today, not on a roadmap.
- Fees: Unpaid fees now roll forward into one "Opening Balance" invoice on the new profile when a student is promoted. Previous-session invoices freeze automatically so the same dues cannot be collected twice. CBSE / ICSE / State-board schools running annual promotions with parents in arrears get a clean carry-forward with full undo support. See student promotion.
- Transport: Bus and van dues now carry forward across promotion the same way. Unpaid transport invoices on the previous-year assignment roll into one Opening Balance invoice on the new-session assignment instead of getting stranded on the closed assignment. See transport module.
- Reporting: Fee dashboards (defaulters, revenue, outstanding) now exclude carried-forward source invoices, so totals reconcile cleanly across sessions at year-end audit. The dashboard's carried-forward total is computed live from the underlying ledger, removing the cache drift that occasionally inflated displayed dues. See student information module.
This isn't a roadmap. It's already running in your competitor's school.
Every update on the Inkwelly changelog is in production at real Indian schools today. If you're tired of ERP vendors who promise features for “next quarter”, let's talk. We run a 90-day paid pilot with a pro-rata refund and full data export.
