Michael have you thought about using customer billing for each student, this way you can achieve most of the recording and get reports in the system.

We offer discounts of 5% for two or more family members attending, 10% for group bookings, and also offer bursaries, but none of is these recorded explicitly in the books at the moment. I plan to introduce two new accounts - Expenses:Discounts and Expenses:Bursary - and use these to “top-up” any individual’s payments to Income:Course Fees to the appropriate level. This way, each player will be represented in Income:Course fees as having paid either the full residential fee or the full non-residential fee, and under- or over-payments will be easer to pick up using a saved report, which can also itemise the discounts and bursaries using the Memo fields to identify the player (as opposed to the person paying, recorded in the Description) and the type of discount or bursary. Does anyone spot any elephant traps that I’m missing?
