Where to find it: Administration → Charges and Batches.
Every period (usually monthly) the charges of all assigned fees are generated. Those collected by direct debit are grouped into a SEPA batch you download and upload to the bank; the rest are paid online, by transfer or in cash.
How to do it
Press “Generate charges” and set the period; review the draft list (you can run a “simulation” first).
Confirm the charges (or enable auto-confirm). Each charge has its payment link and appears in the family’s personal area.
For direct debits create a batch in Batches: it groups confirmed charges with a mandate; download the SEPA file (pain.008) and upload it to online banking.
When the bank credits it, mark the batch as executed; charges become paid and receipts are issued. Returns are recorded from the batch.
Keep in mind
Charges have lines: fee, discounts, extras and credits; the receipt itemises everything.
Reminders and dunning notices go out automatically per Treasury → Settings.
You can create one-off charges (a tournament, a kit) from the record or in bulk from People.
