Fees can be created via either:

  - A Billing Run - Allow schools to charge multiple line items to individual students or contacts and include sibling and flag-based discounts. This method of creating fees prevents fees from being charged more than once.
  - A Standalone Fee - Common uses are excursions and the hire of school resources. This fee method allows for multiple line items to be included in a single Standalone Fee.
