If your pupils book their Meals in advance or have a set meal pattern, it is possible to enter a weekly pattern against their account in SCO, then automatically fill meals for future dates.
Once filled, their account balance will reflect the meals entered (for example, if you fill meals each month, a debt will be displayed against the pupil's account equal to a month's meals).
