You can create a recurring credit or discount (for a sibling discount, financial aid, or assistance) by creating a discount program. The discount program can be any of the program types (monthly, custom, monthly dynamic).
To create a discount program:
- Click “Programs” on the left sidebar.
- Click the down arrow to the far right of a program row to expand the section.
- Click “+” to create a new program.
- Enter the program name and the amount of the discount (remember to put a “-“ in front of the amount).
- Click “Save.”
- Select an account to map to a chart of accounts item with a “(v)” at the end (such as “Discounts (v)”). (The (v) indicates a discount in Curacubby).
Please remember: students can be enrolled in multiple programs of the same type (monthly, custom, or monthly dynamic) but should not be enrolled in programs with different program types (monthly & custom) or different invoice date settings (two custom programs where the invoice or send dates differ). Therefore, please be sure to create a discount program that is the same as the non-discount program for the student. If the tuition program is a custom program, it would be best to copy the tuition program and update it with the discount title/amount.

NOTE: Ensure that your discount programs have the same notification date, days before late, and invoice dates in order for the discount to be applied on the same invoice as non-discount programs!
