End of Year Process - Overview

Access: Payable Administrators

Payable Administrators have special rights on the shop site which will allow them access the payable pages. To request Payable Administrator rights please contact Kindo Customer Support

There are a number of tasks that you can complete to ensure your Kindo Payable pages are up to date and contain only the information needed for the year ahead, for both you and your families.
Warning
Before you take these steps, we recommend running any reports for Kindo Payables you might want to keep as a record, as some of the steps below will remove information from reporting.
We suggest considering the following: Classic Student Payables Review, Outstanding Payables (advanced), Aged Student Payables by Student ID and Current Available (proto) Payables.


At the end of year / start of the new year (when you would normally do your end of year rollover/write off process), please ensure you complete the relevant steps (below) for your school.
Alert
Click on the links for each of the steps below for further details to ensure you are completing them correctly.
  1. Retire payables including paid and any that need writing off.
  2. Hide Groups that you will no longer be using. (Note - this step does not apply for schools using Kamar or Hero, unless you also use Kindo groups.)
  3. Rollover Payables from one year to the next using the Payable Rollover page.
  4. Rollover Rules when you are ready to apply previously used Rules to your rollover payables. (Only apply a rule to a group, class, or year once students in it are finalised and showing correctly in Kindo.)
  5. Move payables from Current to Historic on the Payable Catalogue page. 
  6. On the Payable Maintenance page, disable rules for any relevant payables.

Room Allocations for the following year

Student rooms automatically update from your SMS to Kindo and caregivers will be able to see this on their Kindo account.
Warning
If you do not want room information for the following year to be public either:
  1. Wait to update rooms in your SMS until the new year / just before the new school year begins.
  2. Send a request to helpdesk to disable the roll temporarily for the relevant time period.
