On the Families &amp; Invoices page, the &#8220;Add Charge&#8221; and &#8220;Add Payment or Discount&#8221; buttons have been <strong>combined into a single<\/strong> &#8220;<strong>Add Transaction<\/strong>&#8221; button.<\/p>\n<p>This has a number of benefits:<\/p>\n<p>a) If you enter the wrong transaction type you can now change it to any other transaction type by editing it.<br \/>\nb) You can now add &#8220;<strong>Discounts<\/strong>&#8221; to multiple families at once (just like you could with &#8220;Charges&#8221; before).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_24531\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24531\" style=\"width: 290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mymusicstaff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/payment-feature-changes.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-24531 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mymusicstaff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/payment-feature-changes-300x192.png\" alt=\"Adding a new transaction to a family account, My Music Staff\" width=\"300\" height=\"192\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mymusicstaff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/payment-feature-changes-300x192.png 300w, https:\/\/www.mymusicstaff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/payment-feature-changes-1024x656.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.mymusicstaff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/payment-feature-changes-768x492.png 768w, https:\/\/www.mymusicstaff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/payment-feature-changes.png 1128w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-24531\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">View From The &#8220;Families &amp; Invoices&#8221; Page<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_24541\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24541\" style=\"width: 290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mymusicstaff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/payment-feature-changes-pop-up.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-24541 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mymusicstaff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/payment-feature-changes-pop-up-300x192.png\" alt=\"Add new transaction pop-up, My Music Staff\" width=\"300\" height=\"192\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mymusicstaff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/payment-feature-changes-pop-up-300x192.png 300w, https:\/\/www.mymusicstaff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/payment-feature-changes-pop-up-1024x656.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.mymusicstaff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/payment-feature-changes-pop-up-768x492.png 768w, https:\/\/www.mymusicstaff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/payment-feature-changes-pop-up.png 1128w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-24541\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">View From The &#8220;Add Transaction&#8221; Pop-Up<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In addition to a single popup\u00a0for all types of transactions, we&#8217;ve made the following improvements:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>When you manually add a &#8220;<strong>Charge<\/strong>&#8221; (or &#8220;<strong>Discount<\/strong>&#8220;), you can now optionally\u00a0assign it to a category (taken from your Event Categories). If you do this, charges and discounts will be applied to those categories when you run your &#8220;<strong>Income and Expense<\/strong>&#8221; report in &#8220;<strong>Accrual mod<\/strong>e&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>If you&#8217;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 &#8220;<strong>Studio Settings<\/strong>&#8221; page (from the &#8220;<strong>Account and Invoices<\/strong>&#8221; page). Once enabled, you&#8217;ll see a new drop-down menu item when you add a &#8220;<strong>Payment<\/strong>&#8221; or &#8220;<strong>Refund<\/strong>&#8221; to a family.<\/li>\n<li>On the Family Details page, there&#8217;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 &#8220;Family Account&#8221;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Other changes this week include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>On the &#8220;<strong>Expenses and Other Income<\/strong>&#8221; page, the search now allows you to search by the transaction amount (not just description and payee).<\/li>\n<li>The &#8220;<strong>Income and Expense<\/strong>&#8221; report now has an option to print just the summary by category (hide individual charges).<\/li>\n<li>We fixed a problem with the &#8220;Make-Up Credit&#8221; report that could prevent it from being generated for some studios.<\/li>\n<li>When you create an &#8220;<strong>Income and Expense<\/strong>&#8221; report in &#8220;<strong>Accrual Mode<\/strong>&#8220;, you can now filter by any type of &#8220;<strong>Event Category<\/strong>&#8220;.<\/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&#8217;s a new invoicing option (under &#8220;Studio Settings&#8221; on the &#8220;<strong>Accounts and Invoices<\/strong>&#8221; 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 &#8220;<strong>Payroll Override<\/strong>&#8221; feature and you&#8217;re using the &#8220;<strong>Pay Per Student<\/strong>&#8221; option, the pay is now calculated for any students who have a &#8220;<strong>Billable<\/strong>&#8221; attendance status (instead of strictly &#8220;Present&#8221;). 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 &#8220;<strong>View Accounts and Invoices<\/strong>&#8221; privilege:<br \/>\na) Won&#8217;t see the &#8220;<strong>Student Paid at Lesson<\/strong>&#8221; box on the attendance popup<br \/>\nb) The &#8220;<strong>Student Paid at Lesson<\/strong>&#8221; line on the attendance sheets won&#8217;t show the price for the lesson<\/li>\n<li>On your &#8220;<strong>My Preferences<\/strong>&#8221; page there is a new option to hide the teacher name on the calendar (if you&#8217;re able to view other teacher&#8217;s scheduled). This will save some precious screen space if you color your calendar by teacher (or view the calendar in &#8220;Day&#8221; 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 &#8220;Make-Up Credit Required&#8221;, only the &#8220;Present, Make-Up&#8221;\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 &#8230; <\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more-container\"><a title=\"Family Account Improvements\" class=\"read-more button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mymusicstaff.com\/ja\/family-account-improvements\/#more-24495\" aria-label=\"Family Account Improvements \u306b\u3064\u3044\u3066\u3055\u3089\u306b\u8aad\u3080\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[64],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24495","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-product-features"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mymusicstaff.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24495","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mymusicstaff.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mymusicstaff.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mymusicstaff.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mymusicstaff.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24495"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.mymusicstaff.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24495\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mymusicstaff.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24495"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mymusicstaff.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24495"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mymusicstaff.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24495"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
