The Preferences functionality is available within both the Dinners and Extended Day modules of Schools Cash Office.
Once configured, pupils’ typical weekly meal or session pattern will update the appropriate module registers automatically.
Before you start
You must have pupils imported into Schools Cash Office and either meal codes or session codes configured within the Dinners or Extended Day modules.
Configuring Pupil Preferences
The preference functionality allows you to store a typical weekly pattern of either meal codes (for the Dinners module) or session codes (for the Extended Day module) against any number of pupils.
Preferences can be configured on a pupil by pupil basis and do not have to be configured against all pupils.
Temporary changes to an individual pupil’s typical pattern can be accommodated directly through the register or through Classroom Edition (if licenced) and for pupils who have no preferences set then meal/session codes continue to be entered directly as required.
