Current system setup is not ideal for tuition charges and posting. Payment plans only have due dates, no charge dates. Due dates become the charge dates. Full tuition amount gets charged first then distributed according to payment plans. This setup does not allow flexibility. Can the system allow charge on dates within payment plans and charge based on the setup within the payment plans and schedules (as in Student Billing) instead of a lump sum fee with distribution?

For accounting purposes, we do not charge next year's tuition fees until the new fiscal year starts (after July 1, matching principle), although the enrollment starts and partial tuition fees for next year are due before July. The current system setting charges next year's tuition fees in the current year. Wouldn't this inflate Accounts Receivable for the current year end? Ideally, payments made for next year's tuition should be recognized as advance deposits and the billing accounts should not be touched.
