DataNova for School Networks

Bill every tuition correctly and bring the board the whole network’s figures.

DataNova bills at the rate the fee resolution allows, applies every payment and builds the board report from the files each school already produces. Our engineers put it to work on each school’s platform and accounting system.

Helping school networks charge what the approved fee resolution allows, know how many students they have and bring the board figures with their source.

What changes

What happens in a school today, and what happens with DataNova.

Each row is work repeated every month in every school of the network.

TodayWith DataNova
Rates

The billing sheet is typed separately and does not match the fee resolution.

The rate comes from the resolution, and a line that differs is held before billing.

Collections

Every deposit becomes a receipt typed by hand.

Each family pays with its reference, and the payment is applied on its own.

Changes

A bus or lunch change arrives by email and holds up everyone’s billing.

Each area records its change with a date, and a late one moves to the next month.

Withdrawals

The registrar withdraws the student in SIMAT, and receivables never hears of it.

The withdrawal reaches receivables, and the clearance letter comes from the balance.

Enrollment

Each document gives a different enrollment count.

One student count by campus and cutoff, matched with SIMAT.

Board

The board report is assembled by retyping closes made with different charts of accounts.

Each school submits its files, and the report comes out with every figure linked to its source.

What it looks like

Each school’s monthly submissions, in one view.

Each school uploads the files it already produces. Each file is accepted or returned with its reason, and the board report comes out when all of them are accepted.

The school year

Six stages of the school year.

From the fee resolution to the board report. Start with the stage that costs you most, because each one works on its own.

  1. 01Fees and rates
  2. 02Admissions and enrollment
  3. 03Tuition and other charges
  4. 04Collections and clearance
  5. 05Payroll, purchasing and close
  6. 06Board report
  1. Stage 1 of 6

    Fees and rates

    Charge exactly what the resolution allows. Each rate by grade and item is loaded once per school year, and a line that differs is held before billing.

    • Rates from the resolution

      Each amount by grade and item is loaded once and versioned by school year.

    • Check before billing

      A line that differs from the approved rate is held with its reason.

  2. Stage 2 of 6

    Admissions and enrollment

    Have one student count, by campus and cutoff. Enrollment, withdrawal and cause are matched with SIMAT, and the registrar sees the family’s balance without writing to receivables.

    • Single student count

      Enrollment, withdrawal and cause by campus and cutoff, matched with SIMAT.

    • Re-enrollment with the account statement

      The registrar sees the family’s balance without writing to receivables.

  3. Stage 3 of 6

    Tuition and other charges

    Bill the month without waiting for the changes email. Each area records its change with a date, and what was consumed on the bus and in the cafeteria is matched with what was charged.

    • Changes recorded by each area

      Bus or lunch sign-ups, changes and withdrawals are dated, and a late change moves to the next month without holding the batch.

    • Consumed against billed

      Cafeteria records and bus lists are matched each month against what was charged.

  4. Stage 4 of 6

    Collections and clearance

    Apply every payment and collect every balance on its date. Each family pays with its reference, the collections policy runs on the age of the balance and the clearance letter comes from the balance.

    • Payment with a reference

      Each payer has a reference, and a payment that arrives unidentified gets an owner and a deadline.

    • Staged collections

      The age of the balance sets the step of the collections policy, and the clearance letter comes from the balance.

  5. Stage 5 of 6

    Payroll, purchasing and close

    Close each school on its chart of accounts and read them together. Each school’s accounts are read on common lines, and each supplier invoice is paid when it matches its order and receipt.

    • Account mapping

      Each school keeps its chart, and the report reads it on common lines.

    • Order, receipt and invoice

      The supplier invoice is paid when order, receipt and invoice match.

  6. Stage 6 of 6

    Board report

    Bring the board the whole network’s figures with their source. Each school submits its monthly files, each file is accepted or returned with its reason, and every figure in the report shows where it came from.

    • Monthly submissions

      Each school uploads its ledger, enrollment, aging report and payroll, and each file is accepted or returned with its reason.

    • Report with its source

      Every figure in the report shows its file, its rule and its cutoff.

Every figure with its source

From days of receivables down to the family’s receipt.

Any figure in the board report opens up to the document that supports it.
