Enter Dinner Opening Balances
Useful Information
When first setting up SCO Dinners, you must enter any existing carried forward dinner money credit/debt balances before entering meal data or payments in SCO Dinner Money.
If the balances include meals already booked in advance, you should enter those meals first.
To enter Opening Balances for Dinners
Click on the Dinners tab
On the right side of the screen click Select mode
Select Set balances
Select Yes to confirm
The column to the right of the pupil name now displays as 0.00 (instead of Payment)
Overtype this figure with the balance for each pupil:
For a positive balance, e.g. for a credit of £4.00, type 4.00 and press Enter
This will be displayed as Paid: 0.00 Credit: 4.00For a negative balance, e.g. for debt of £2.00, type -2.00 and press Enter
This will be displayed as Paid: 0.00 Owing: 2.00
