If you do this, charges and discounts will be applied to those categories when you run your \u00ab\u00a0<strong>Income and Expense<\/strong>\u00a0\u00bb report in \u00ab\u00a0<strong>Accrual mod<\/strong>e\u00a0\u00bb.<\/li>\n<li>If you&rsquo;re the type of teacher who likes to track the type of payment (i.e. <strong>Cash, Check\/Cheque, Bank Transfer, etc.<\/strong>), you can now enable payment types in your \u00ab\u00a0<strong>Studio Settings<\/strong>\u00a0\u00bb page (from the \u00ab\u00a0<strong>Account and Invoices<\/strong>\u00a0\u00bb page). Once enabled, you&rsquo;ll see a new drop-down menu item when you add a \u00ab\u00a0<strong>Payment<\/strong>\u00a0\u00bb or \u00ab\u00a0<strong>Refund<\/strong>\u00a0\u00bb to a family.<\/li>\n<li>On the Family Details page, there&rsquo;s a new icon that appears for charges that are automatically created for students who pay the same amount each month. This is just a visual helper so that these charges are easier to identify when you view the list of transactions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_24551\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24551\" style=\"width: 290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mymusicstaff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/mothly-charge-icon.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-24551 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mymusicstaff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/mothly-charge-icon-300x192.png\" alt=\"Monthly Charge Icon Indicator\" width=\"300\" height=\"192\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mymusicstaff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/mothly-charge-icon-300x192.png 300w, https:\/\/www.mymusicstaff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/mothly-charge-icon-1024x656.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.mymusicstaff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/mothly-charge-icon-768x492.png 768w, https:\/\/www.mymusicstaff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/mothly-charge-icon.png 1128w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-24551\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">View From The \u00ab\u00a0Family Account\u00a0\u00bb<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Other changes this week include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>On the \u00ab\u00a0<strong>Expenses and Other Income<\/strong>\u00a0\u00bb page, the search now allows you to search by the transaction amount (not just description and payee).<\/li>\n<li>The \u00ab\u00a0<strong>Income and Expense<\/strong>\u00a0\u00bb report now has an option to print just the summary by category (hide individual charges).<\/li>\n<li>We fixed a problem with the \u00ab\u00a0Make-Up Credit\u00a0\u00bb report that could prevent it from being generated for some studios.<\/li>\n<li>When you create an \u00ab\u00a0<strong>Income and Expense<\/strong>\u00a0\u00bb report in \u00ab\u00a0<strong>Accrual Mode<\/strong>\u00ab\u00a0, you can now filter by any type of \u00ab\u00a0<strong>Event Category<\/strong>\u00ab\u00a0.<\/li>\n<li>Birthday emails now get sent at 8AM local time (instead of midnight)&#8230;this change makes them appear a little\u00a0less automatic and a little more natural.<\/li>\n<li>There&rsquo;s a new invoicing option (under \u00ab\u00a0Studio Settings\u00a0\u00bb on the \u00ab\u00a0<strong>Accounts and Invoices<\/strong>\u00a0\u00bb tab) that allows you to enable multi-line descriptions for invoice items.<\/li>\n<li>We fixed the calendar so that it no longer overflows the page if you shrink your browser window.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>For multi-teacher studios:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you use the Event Category \u00ab\u00a0<strong>Payroll Override<\/strong>\u00a0\u00bb feature and you&rsquo;re using the \u00ab\u00a0<strong>Pay Per Student<\/strong>\u00a0\u00bb option, the pay is now calculated for any students who have a \u00ab\u00a0<strong>Billable<\/strong>\u00a0\u00bb attendance status (instead of strictly \u00ab\u00a0Present\u00a0\u00bb). This makes the behavior of this feature consistent with the other payroll features in My Music Staff.<\/li>\n<li>Teachers who do <strong>Not<\/strong> have the \u00ab\u00a0<strong>View Accounts and Invoices<\/strong>\u00a0\u00bb privilege:<br \/>\na) Won&rsquo;t see the \u00ab\u00a0<strong>Student Paid at Lesson<\/strong>\u00a0\u00bb box on the attendance popup<br \/>\nb) The \u00ab\u00a0<strong>Student Paid at Lesson<\/strong>\u00a0\u00bb line on the attendance sheets won&rsquo;t show the price for the lesson<\/li>\n<li>On your \u00ab\u00a0<strong>My Preferences<\/strong>\u00a0\u00bb page there is a new option to hide the teacher name on the calendar (if you&rsquo;re able to view other teacher&rsquo;s scheduled). This will save some precious screen space if you color your calendar by teacher (or view the calendar in \u00ab\u00a0Day\u00a0\u00bb mode).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We hope you enjoy this week\u2019s updates. Have a great week!<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 The My Music Staff Team<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Did you know?\u00a0<\/strong>When setting the attendance for a lesson that\u2019s marked \u00ab\u00a0Make-Up Credit Required\u00a0\u00bb, only the \u00ab\u00a0Present, Make-Up\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0option is visible for present (if the student actually has a make-up credit). This is to help prevent teachers from accidentally NOT using making credits. Make-up credits can still be used at regularly scheduled lessons if your studio works that way (no changes were made in that regard).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi Everyone, This week we&rsquo;re introducing some bigger and better changes to how payments and charges are recorded in My Music Staff.
