This document provides an overview of the key considerations and steps for setting up student billing in Blackbaud's K-12 solution. It outlines questions to consider regarding billing cycles, financial aid, enrollment deposits, and payment application. It then lists the preprocessing steps needed to create billing items and cycles. Finally, it discusses defining the billing flow, statement options, formatting, and use of online bill pay. The goal is to help users effectively structure and implement student billing in the Blackbaud system.

#BBK12UC
Questions to ask as you consider your billing
approach:
•Do you need scheduled activity for transaction and due dates for
charges and/or credits?
•If you offer “Financial Aid” will Financial Aid Types be managed from the
Financial Aid Tab?
•Do you have methods need to group Students into any groups needed?
(Are all data points needed by billing available to Student Billing?)
•How do you want to handle enrollment deposits or prepayments? Do
you want to bill them? Use Advance Deposits?
•How should payments and credits be applied?
