How to Create a Payment Schedule Rule Template (VIC)

How to Create a Payment Schedule Rule Template (VIC)

Idea
Overview
To create a funded contract in the Student Management System, a Payment Schedule Rule template must be created.

This template will define the rules for when your RTO will receive payment, based on student commencement or completion of the course. The information will be based on the payment schedules outlined in your contract with the respective State Training Authority.

In this tutorial, we will create one for the state of Victoria (VIC).
