The Transaction History is your Customer's Account. It is where all the billing activity history is, including all charges (tuition and other fees), discounts, credits, and payments.

How the Transaction History works

  • All Transactions are posted by date and time

  • The Transaction History works much like a bank account, where one transaction posted affects the Account's balance.

  • Tuition Charges are posted separately from Discounts (posted as "Misc Credits" unless specifically changed to another Discount Item)

  • Charges are in RED

  • Payments are in GREEN in parentheses (and can be broken up to pay different Invoices)

  • Discounts/Credits are in BLUE

This is the Transaction History on a computer:

Transaction History Columns

The Transaction History is divided into 10 different columns. The following is a description of each column:

Date Posted

The first column (Posted) is the transaction's date and who posted it. As illustrated by the screenshot below, if the transaction were automatic, it would say "Enrollsy." The Admin is noted by first initial and last name (i.e., "S. Edwards"). The Customer's name is spelled out or abbreviated, depending on length. In the example, "Rhonda Clearly" is the Customer.

Classification

The second column is usually the Company or Location name.

Program

The third column, Program, is the Program that the transaction was for (if noted).

Enrollee

This column shows who the transaction was for (the Enrollee). If no Enrollee is specified, a line will appear where the Enrollee name would be.

Type

The Type column is the type of Transaction (i.e., cash, charge, credit card, misc. credit, etc.). A Charge is any amount charged to the Account, such as Tuition, Registration, other fees, etc. A Misc Credit is any Discount/credit given, such as a Sibling Discount.

Account

The sixth column, Account, shows the last four digits of the credit card or ACH/check account (if applicable).

Items

The Items column shows any Charge Items (i.e., a convenience fee, registration fee, etc.) or Discount Items. You can create these on the My Company page > Items tab.

Details

The Details column shows any notes about that transaction (i.e., Field Trip). These are notes under "Invoice Memo" (these are visible to the Account Holder) or Private Comments (only visible to other Admin users).

The last column is the Balance of the Account.

  • Zero balances are BLACK

  • Negative balances (the Customer OWES money) are in RED.

  • If there is a Credit/Positive balance on the Account, it is in GREEN with parenthesis.

Returned Payments

ACH returned payments will show up as an NSF Returned Pmt (in the Type column). ACH Refunds typically give the reason for the failed transaction in the Details columns.

Failed Credit Card payments will NOT show up as failed within Enrollsy. It means that the credit card company declined the payment and responded with an error message (i.e., "Non-Sufficient Funds"). It works the same way as if you run your credit card at the grocery store, declining right then and there.

Refunds

ACH Refunds will show up as an ACH Refund (in the Type column). When a refund is done for an ACH payment, a credit must be included to zero out the balance. Any NSF (non-sufficient) fees should also be added manually when doing a refund. Here is an example:

Credit Card Refunds will show up as a CC Refund (in the Type column). When a refund is done for a credit card payment, a credit must be included to zero out the balance. Any NSF (non-sufficient) fees should also be added manually when doing a refund. Here is an example:
