Section 2 – Pupil Meals
v1.01
If your school does not have NCS contract only the Dinner Monies
Database Adjustment is required.
Within the Dinner Monies Database the amount to be written off should be
entered into the blue ‘Adj’ column against the required pupil. As the pupil will
have a debit balance the write off amount should be entered as a positive
amount:
Within Star Accounts two transactions will be required to show that the
school has incurred the cost for the written off amount – an expenditure
transaction to charge the schools budget, and an income transaction to pay
the catering account.
Please Note: If several amounts are being written off (e.g. at year end) the
value of the transaction entered into Star Accounts can be the cumulative
value of all written off amounts.
Expenditure Transaction:
This transaction should be
marked as a ‘Direct Debit’ to
negate the need for a cheque
number.
This transaction should be entered against subjective code “42810
Provisions”. If a cumulative transaction is being entered the ‘Details’ field
should be used to list the names of the pupils that are having a balance
cleared.
