Master Setup

This is the most important module of the eSchool ERP. This is like the control panel of all the other modules present in the ERP. From this you can configure various segments and modules. This segment is mainly used by the Admin only. Here various changes can be made like full fee structure can be defined from here, the bus information, classes information, courses information etc can be defined using master setup.
Highlights of this module’s features can be found here.

Fee Slab :- The whole fees module which we discussed earlier in the Fees Module section is completely based on the structure which we create from the fee slab section in Master Setup. This segment is very important and also very crucial as the data or the structure defined in this segment reflects as it is in the Fee Payment page.
