"Charge Types" are the categories of charges that sites utilize in assessing charges to a staff or student account when an asset has been damaged and/or before an item is issued as a prerequisite for that item's issuance. Charges are established by the district-level administrative user and all charges require the selection of an established Charge Type. The district-level administrative user also determines whether the site can adjust the dollar amount required to satisfy a charge. Examples of Charge Types are “Charger Replacement,” “Cracked Screen,” and “Accidental Damage Coverage.”
