Money flows through everything. Enrolment triggers fees. Attendance affects refunds. Payroll is an expense. Transport is a billable service. YESS treats school finance as a real ERP — full double-entry, multi-currency, mobile-money-native, with every transaction immutably logged.

Auto-invoice on enrolment
Student enrolls → fee structure looked up by program/class → invoice generated → siblings detected → discount applied → scholarship adjusted → transport/canteen/hostel subscriptions added → invoice sent to parent.
6 discount types + scholarships
Merit, need, sports, arts, full, partial. Sibling auto-detection. Each discount appears as a line item; the audit trail explains why.
