NB: An update has been made to the Make Payment feature. The regular capture of payments in OSIS remains the same except that now it is only the first level in the process. The step is now considered a request that requires a review (where applicable), and approval. Only when the transaction request is approved does it show on the Account Statement and Student Transactions.
The update is to allow more accountability in the payment collection process. Permissions for review and approval would have to be assigned to the roles that will carry this out under User Management => Roles & Permissions.
