The fee counter, rebuilt

This week went entirely to the desk where the money is taken. The three separate Search Receipts screens are now one Fee Receipts screen with a running total and a column chooser. And Collect Fees V2 has been redesigned so the student, the twelve months, the fee heads and the payment all fit on a single screen — with any balance carried over from an earlier session shown as a card you cannot walk past.

Receipts, unified Collect Fees V2, one screen 6 updates

A fee counter is judged on two things: how fast a receipt can be raised, and whether the numbers on it are right. This week is about the first. Two screens that had grown by accretion over the years — receipt search, split awkwardly across three menu items, and fee collection, spread over roughly four screens of scrolling — have been rebuilt into one screen each, without removing a single column or option. The classic screens are still there, one button away.

Three receipt screens become one

One screen, three ways to search. Searching receipts by student name, by date range, and by date range with a class and section used to mean three menu items and three pages. They are now three buttons on one screen — Finance → Fees → Fee Receipts. Pick how you want to search, fill in the fields that appear, and the receipts load into the same table. The old menu items still open this screen, so saved bookmarks and favourites keep working.
A list that shows more, and adds up correctly. A summary strip above the table gives the number of receipts and the total collected, and the total follows whatever you filter down to. Every column from all three old screens is there — Father Name, Cheque Number, Cheque Bank, Fee For Month — and the Columns button offers only the ones your search can actually fill. Paid On now sorts by real date instead of alphabetically, and the student search works from the keyboard with the arrow keys and Enter.

The whole fee collection, on one screen

No more scrolling through four screens. Collect Fees V2 has been redesigned so the student, the months, the fee heads and the payment all sit together. A strip of the twelve session months shows at a glance which are paid, part paid and still due — tap the ones you are collecting.
Everything the receipt needs, in one panel. Fee heads are grouped under their month with a subtotal for each, amounts use Indian digit grouping (₹1,23,456), and the date, remark, invoice number, total and payment method stay in a panel on the right — with a single Collect button that states the exact amount and method before you press it.
Old dues are impossible to miss. Any balance carried over from a previous session now appears as a highlighted card beside the student's name, with its own Pay button — instead of a small box in the corner of the page that was easy to walk past.
Ledgers you can actually read. Master ledger, transport, receipts, payment modes and deleted receipts now sit full width in tabs across the bottom, each month or receipt tagged Paid, Part or Due so status reads at a glance instead of everything being coloured red. Opening a receipt to view or print works from the Receipts tab as before, and the Detailed switch still adds the exact transaction time.
Nothing has been taken away. The original Collect Fees screen is unchanged and still available, and a Classic view button at the top of Collect Fees V2 switches back to it at any time.

Fewer screens. Same numbers. Same options.

Neither of these rebuilds took anything away. Every column from the three old receipt screens is still available, the classic Collect Fees screen is untouched and one button away, and every old menu item still lands somewhere sensible. What changed is the number of screens a clerk has to cross to raise one receipt — and how obvious a carried-over balance is when the parent is standing at the counter. More next week.
