Purpose

To review Fee Type data for correctness and as a source of reference information. 

SubSystem

Finance

This report gives information about Fee Types such as Charge Method, Assessment Rates and Element Ranges, where these are held at FTCI level. It also gives information about the relevant categories and triggers, and fee cap details for VET and VET-TUIT Fee fees.

Run Details

FINR0321 may be run in immediate mode or in batch mode through the Job Control and Scheduling subsystem.

When used initially to check that Fee Type and related data is complete and correct, this report would generally be run after a Fee Type has been set up, but before it has been included as a liability of a Fee Category. If details reported are incorrect, they should be rectified before adding the Fee Type to any Fee Category, to avoid the risk of charging students incorrectly.

Once the correction cycle is complete and Fee Types are added to Fee Categories, the report can be run at any time to obtain a reference copy. It gives information about Fee Types such as Charge Method, Assessment Rates and Element Ranges, where these are held at FTCI level. It also gives information about the relevant categories and triggers, and information about fee cap details for VET and VET-TUIT fees.

A Fee Category Validation Report (FINR0322) is also available. The two reports, run in conjunction, will provide a complete picture of a Fee Type where related data is held at the Fee Category or Fee Liability level rather than at the Fee Type level.

This report also shows the Service Code column of the Fee Type Calendar Instance table and Response code column of the Fee Assessment Rate table under the Fee Calendar and Fee Ass Rates headings respectively. See Fee Assessment (FINJ3500) 'Introduction' section for further details.

The Fee Type Validation Report block contains:

For information about System (or control) parameters, see All About Standard Reports. 

A Financial Period must be supplied. Select this from the list of values giving active and planned Calendars, or accept the default of the current Financial Calendar Instance.

Select a particular active or planned Fee Period and/or select or enter a Fee Type and/or Fee Category, or alternatively accept the default of all values (%) for these three parameters.

Where a Fee Period is selected, it is validated as being subordinate to the selected Financial Period.

The last three parameters determine the information included in the report. They all default to 'Yes'.

• Include Schedules? If the default of 'Yes' is accepted, the details of any schedules defined for the Fee Type at FTCI level will be reported. Select 'No' if schedule details are not required.
• Include Fee Calculations? If the default of 'Yes' is accepted, the Fee Calculation information held at FTCI level for the Fee Type will be reported. If 'No' is selected, Fee Calculation details are not reported.
• Include Unit Fee Assessment Rates? If the default of 'Yes' is accepted, the recorded rates for units held at FTCI level for the Fee Type will be reported. If 'No' is selected, unit fee assessment rates are not reported.

Fee Type Validation Report:

For each selected Fee Type, the report displays the Fee Type information as defined in Maintain Fee Types (FINF2100) and Maintain Fee Type Calendar Instance Accounts (FINF2110).

Subsequent information is displayed in the following order:

• Schedule, Fee Calculation information, Unit Fee Assessment Rates, if the appropriate parameters are selected.
• Once Fee Types have been assigned to categories, Fee Category information for active categories of which the Fee Type is a liability; and for each liability, the Fee Trigger details.

However, if a particular Fee Category was specified in the parameter collection, then only the trigger details for the Fee Liability within this Fee Category will display, irrespective of whether the Fee Type is also a liability of other Fee Categories.

If information has not been specified for a heading within the report, NOT ESTABLISHED indicates that there is none at the FTCI level, while NONE DEFINED is used where triggers have not been assigned. If information has been defined for a heading, but not for all of the fields it encompasses, then a dash is used.

The information is sorted by Fee Type and within each Fee Type by Fee Period. If the Fee Period is not specified in the parameter collection, and the Fee Type has an instance in more than one Fee Period, all the information for the first Fee Period is presented, followed by the Fee Type details for the next Fee Period. The next Fee Type is then reported.

The following information also appears in the report:

• In the Fee Calculations section:
  • Concession Type and Funding Source information for ADVSTND, VET and VET-TUIT Fee Types.
• In the Fee Assessment Rates section:
  • Course Category, Course Type and Fee Maintenance information for VET-TUIT and some VET Fee Types with a Management Level of UNIT for which fee capping applies. (That is, for Fee Types that have the Fee Cap check box selected in FINF2100.) The Unit Class and Apply at Unit Level details are not shown for these Fee Types.
  • For VET Fee Types with a Management Level other than UNIT, the Course Category, Course Type and Fee Maintenance headings are not shown, and the Unit Class and Apply at Unit Level headings are.
• Fee Type Group fee cap details, if the associated Fee Type is capped. (Currently applicable to VET-TUIT and some VET Fee Types only.)
• An 'Active Fee Groups' section is included in the report (at the end of the Active Fee Categories section for a given Fee Type) if the Fee Type is capped. (Currently applicable to VET-TUIT and some VET Fee Types only.)
• (In the 'Active Fee Groups' section) Fee Type Group Fee Cap Period details, if the Fee Type is cap-enabled, that overlap any part of the Fee Type Calendar Instance periods for which the report was run. (Currently applicable to VET-TUIT and some VET Fee Types only.)

Added Course Category, Course Type and Fee Maintenance information for VET and VET-TUIT fee types for which fee capping applies, and related information concerning what is displayed on the report.
