SCENARIO:
Setup of a Technology Repair item, where a student may be asked to pay for more than one repair at varying times throughout the school year.
QUESTION:
Should this item be set up as one item or multiple items?
BEST PRACTICE:
To ensure the parent understands what they are paying for, each occurrence should be set up as a separate item.
The replacement item should also be a separate item.
Item #1 Repair 1st Occurrence $25
Item #2 Repair 2nd Occurrence $50
Item #3 Device Replacement $250
Note: This item should not be set up as one item with options and choices. The parent would be confused if and when to pay.
