"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. The following are true of charges:

  • Charges are established by the district-level administrative user, and this user determines whether the site can adjust the dollar amount required to satisfy a charge.
  • All charges require the selection of an established Charge Type (e.g., “Charger Replacement,” “Cracked Screen,” and “Accidental Damage Coverage").
