Overview
Disable the following functionalities for _Subject_ arrangements that have been flagged as “Scholarship exception”/Disable_The_Following_Functionalities_For_Subject_Arrangements_That_Have_Been_Flagged_As_Scholarship_Exception is a setting located in Financial Settings > General Settings > Reductions, Discounts & Loans, under the Discount Settings sub-group. It defines which financial functionalities are restricted for arrangements that have been marked as a scholarship exception.
What This Setting Does
Once an arrangement has been flagged as a “Scholarship exception” (see the related setting on _Subject_ enrollment statuses that trigger this flag), this setting lets an administrator choose which financial functionalities should be blocked for that arrangement. The available options are disabling discount management (so no further discounts can be added) and disabling the company payer type (so a company can no longer be set as the payer).
Where It Is Used
This setting is configured on the settings screen below, and its restrictions are enforced automatically on the arrangement screens where a flagged _Subject_ arrangement can be viewed or edited.
- Main Menu > Configuration > Main Settings > Financial Settings > General Settings > Reductions, Discounts and Loans tab > Discount Settings section – this is where the functionalities to disable are selected.
- Main Menu > Student’s record > Financial tab > Arrangements > open a flagged _Subject_ arrangement – discount management controls and the company payer type option are disabled here when the arrangement is flagged as a scholarship exception; the same restriction applies on the equivalent Admission, Re-Registration, and Application Management arrangement screens.
Business Logic / Behavior
- This is a multi-select setting; administrators choose one or both of two functionalities to disable: Discount Management and Company Payer Type.
- If Discount Management is selected, no additional discounts can be enrolled on flagged arrangements, whether added manually, in bulk, or through an automated process.
- If Company Payer Type is selected, the “Company” payer type will no longer be available as an option for arrangement payers or installment payers on flagged arrangements; any such payer is automatically replaced with the _Student_ type instead.
- If neither option is selected, flagged arrangements are marked for informational purposes only, with no functional restriction applied.
Example(s)
Alpha Institute flags a $7,200 _Subject_ arrangement for _Student_ Alex D. as a scholarship exception and selects both Discount Management and Company Payer Type in this setting. When a staff member later tries to add an extra 15% ($1,080) loyalty discount to that flagged arrangement, Classter blocks the action and the arrangement remains at its full $7,200 value. Similarly, when the same staff member tries to set “Alpha Bank” (a sponsoring company) as the payer for a $600 installment on that arrangement, Classter automatically replaces the payer with _Student_ Alex D. instead of Alpha Bank.
When to Use
Configure this setting when your institution wants to protect scholarship arrangements from unintended changes, such as accidentally stacking additional discounts on top of a scholarship, or allowing a company payer type where only the _Student_ should be billed. Select only the functionalities that are relevant to your institution’s scholarship policy; leave functionalities unselected if you want flagged arrangements to remain fully editable.
Notes
Prerequisites: this setting only has an effect on arrangements that have already been flagged as a scholarship exception, so the related setting that defines which _Subject_ enrollment statuses trigger that flag should be configured first.
- Related settings: _Subject_ enrollment statuses that flag subject arrangements as Scholarship exception (Subject_Enrollment_Statuses_That_Flag_Subject_Arrangements_As_Scholarship_Exception in Financial Settings > General Settings > Reductions, Discounts & Loans > Discount Settings)
- Related settings: Enable Successive Discounts (Diadodikes_Ekptoseis in Financial Settings > General Settings > Reductions, Discounts & Loans > Discount Settings)
- Related settings: Check Percentage Limit of Discount Categories (Elegxos_Posostiaiou_Oriou_Katigorion_Ekptoseon in Financial Settings > General Settings > Reductions, Discounts & Loans > Discount Settings)
This setting behaves the same regardless of whether Higher Education Mode (Enable Configuration for Higher Education/Xrisi_parametropoihshs_kolegiou) is enabled or disabled.
