Setting Up Discount Policy (Sibling & Staff Discounts)

Discount policy is the school-wide configuration that defines what discounts exist and who can approve them. Actually applying a discount to a specific student's invoice happens in the separate Discounts queue, day to day.

Sibling-discount tiers

Go to School → Discount Policy to set up sibling-discount tiers — each tier is either a percentage (0–100) or a flat naira amount, letting you structure discounts that scale with how many siblings a family has enrolled.

Staff discount

Set a default staff-discount percentage and its scope — either discountable_only (applies only to fees flagged as discountable; see Making a Fee Optional) or full_invoice (applies across the whole invoice regardless of that flag).

Approval rules

Choose which roles can approve discount requests — the owner is always included and can't be removed from this list. Optionally set a naira auto-approve threshold, below which a request doesn't need manual approval at all.

Where day-to-day discounts actually happen

This page only sets the policy. The separate Discounts queue (Money → Discounts) is where staff request, approve, reject, or revoke discounts on individual students, plus a view of recurring standing discounts and a history of decided requests.
