Setting Up a Flat Fee Item

To set up a simple fee item for an application, administrators must have already pre-defined a fee schedule and a payment period. See Managing Fee Schedules and Invoices and Payment Periods. Then, administrators must create a fee item with configurations for a simple fee. After you set up the fee item on a fee schedule, administrators can assign the fee schedule to one or more application types. A fee schedule can accommodate multiple fee items. Numerous simple fees and more complex fees can coexist on the same fee schedule.
