Transport Fee allows institutions to set and manage fee structures for different transport circles. Each transport fee defines the amount to be charged for various transport circles and can be customized for each academic period. This setup enables flexibility in fee management, allowing for adjustments in case of changes during the academic year. For instance, if the transport fees for a particular circle change, you can create a new fee entry and update it accordingly.
To access the Transport Fee module, navigate to Transport → Transport Fee from the left sidebar. Users must have the transport-fee:read
permission to view and manage this sub-module.
To create a new transport fee, click the "Add New" button. Enter a unique name for the transport fee. You will see a list of all the transport circles you have added. For each circle, you can specify the fees for arrival, departure, and roundtrip options based on student needs. The description field is optional. For instance, if a student opts only for the arrival service, the arrival fee for the respective circle will apply.
Users with the transport-fee:create
permission can create new transport fees, while those with the transport-fee:edit
permission can modify existing transport fees. To delete a transport fee, users need the transport-fee:delete
permission. Note that a transport fee cannot be deleted if it is associated with any fee structure.
Once the transport fee is created, you can proceed to set up the fee structure. This involves assigning the transport fee to the relevant courses and batches, ensuring that the fees are correctly applied based on the transport services selected by students.
