The Hero Billing system is created for the sole purpose of billing students for events, activities and contributions and for processing the payments made against these. It is envisaged that a school will also have an Account Package for the processing of non-student accounts, budgeting and financial reporting.
To access the Billing features area in Hero a person will need administration access.
ACCOUNTING PACKAGE POSTING
As the Billing Module is a feeder into the school’s Accounting Package it has been designed to provide an accurate account of all transactions entered into Hero in a format that can easily be transferred to the external Accounting Package. This is done via a range of reports.
AUDIT TRAIL
To assist in the financial protection of both the school and staff, transaction processing has, where possible been designed in such a way as to produce an audit trail. This can result in some processes being more complex but more secure.
