Charging

Do you need to be able to charge and log payments for events? Are you struggling to collect this data outside Lamplight? Are you spending lots of time doing calculations for the different sessions you run?

The Charging Module can help.  

The Charging Module allows you to set charges for attending a work record and then decide who should pay that charge. It’s all about calculating charges for different sessions.  

Payments can be split between different profiles and organisations based on percentages or fixed cash amounts. Once payments have been allocated, they can be batched up into invoices which can then be exported as a csv and used for billing and credit control purposes.

Policies  
The policies you create are up to you – there are no standard policies in the system. Create policies for how much each person attending should be charged (charge policies) and who should pay this charge (payee policies). They can be as simple or as complex as you need them to be.  

Once your policies are set up, day to day calculations will be generated automatically and monthly reports can be run with just one click.  

The Charging Module may be beneficial to your system if you need to:  

  • Calculate charges for different sessions 
  • Charge different rates for different types of people you work with  
  • Export invoices to use for billing and credit control 
  • Calculate costs for 3rd party funders or client relatives  
  • Calculate early bird discounts  
  • View the charges due from different people in their profiles
