# What the system creates on its own when you save

> Four things happen the instant you click save, and none of them needs you.

## What you will get

Knowing exactly what is already done after saving — and stopping the search for
buttons that do what the system has done.

## The four things

**1. The enrolment number.** Generated on the spot, with the prefix the school
set in Settings. It is how the enrolment is found later.

**2. The contract, if you picked a template.** The template's text is filled in
with that student's details and stored as the enrolment's own copy. Editing the
template afterwards does not change that document.

**3. The whole payment book.** Every instalment at once, with amounts and due
dates calculated. If the plan has an enrolment fee, it becomes a separate charge
falling due today.

**4. The notices.** The student gets an email as the case requires — the active
enrolment one, the contract-to-sign one.

## What does not happen automatically

The negative list is worth having, because it saves waiting:

- **The charge is not issued on the spot** for bank slips and PIX. The
  instalments exist; the slip goes out through the daily routine, at the
  configured lead time, or by hand.
- **The student is not added to the cohort's list.** The chosen cohort is
  recorded on the enrolment, but the list on the cohort's screen is a separate
  thing.
- **The enrolment does not turn active by itself.** It becomes active when the
  first payment is recognised.

**The exception is the credit card:** there the payment link is generated right
away, along with the enrolment.

*All of this appeared on its own: the number, the amount, the instalment panel with dates. A dash in the **COBRANÇA** — charge — column means the slip has not been issued yet, and that is normal.*

## Where the due dates come from

The day of the month comes from the plan. **Which month it starts in** depends,
in this order:

1. The billing start date, if you filled it in.
2. The cohort's start date, if it falls after today.
3. Today.

That is why enrolling in August for a cohort starting in February already puts
the first instalment in February.

## How you know it worked

> [certo]
> The enrolment screen opens with the number at the top, the **MATRÍCULA** panel
> filled in and the **PARCELAS** table with the right number of rows. If you
> picked a contract template, the status at the top is **Awaiting contract**.

## If something goes wrong

> [erro]
> **The instalment panel came out with a single row.** The payment method is
> card. On card the system creates one charge for the full amount; the student's
> bill does the splitting.
>
> **No bank slip was issued.** That is expected. They go out through the daily
> routine, at the lead time set in Settings.
>
> **The student received no email at all.** Check whether they have an email on
> file and portal access.
>
> **The enrolment fee did not appear.** Either the plan has no fee, or the field
> was zeroed in step 5.
