Offer Items

Overview

Offer Items are the products and/or services that are offered to the students as part of an offer. These items can be courses (tuition), materials fees, application fee or other services such as insurance, transport or accommodation.

Considerations for Managing Offer Items

Before we start exploring the Offer Items, it is important to understand some concepts:

Offer Item Types

There is a variety of offer item types that you can create:

• Course (tuition): A Course is the basic item in an offer. It refers to the course or program that a student intends to study.

• Insurance: This item type is to offer insurance services. These services can be set up as a monthly or daily fee.

• Accommodation: With this item type you can offer and manage accommodation (e.g. homestay) placements.

• Accommodation Arrangement: This item type is used to offer an accommodation arrangement/placement fee.

• Airport Transfer: This item type let’s you offer and manage Airport transfer services.

• Other: Others items refer to items that do not fit into other categories. Typically, these can be used to offer products or services such as materials, application fees, etc. This offer type can be set as a single or a weekly amount (useful for fees that depend on the duration of the course).

Offer Items Groups

Offer Items are grouped around the courses that are part of the offer. When a course is added to an offer a new offer item group is created for that course. An offer has as many groups as courses, with one and only one course on each group.

All non-course items must be added to one of the existing groups. If no courses exist when any of those items are created, they will be added automatically to the group of the first course added to the offer.

Offer items are important as they determine what enrolment, the non-course items are added to, when the offer is converted.

Move Items between Offer Groups

If you want to move non-course items between the groups, you can do so by following these steps.

1. Go to the offer items tab on the offer of interest.

2. Click on the move icon and Drag and Drop the item into the desired group.

   

3. The item is moved successfully.

   

• Course Items can’t be moved to another group.

• The Start date, End date, and Length of the target item will not be altered after the move. You have to update them manually if necessary.

• For Other type items with the Match Course Dates option enabled and is being transferred to another group within the same faculty, the dates, length, and amounts for this item will be recalculated automatically to match the course in the target group. These can't be modified manually.
  If the item is moved to a group of a different faculty, the dates, length, and amounts for this item will be automatically reset to default values. These can't be modified manually.

Create Offer Items

Once you've created an offer, you need to add items to the offer.

New items cannot be added to an offer that has already been accepted/converted.

Tip

It's advisable to add a course as the first item. This recommendation is based on the fact that certain components of the offer may be contingent upon the length and dates of the course.

1. Go to the offer items tab on the offer of interest.

2. If there are multiple courses within an offer, meaning more than one offer group, choose the specific group to which the item will be added.

   

3. Click on the New Item button, and select the type of item that you want to create. If you cannot see the item type that you intend to create, contact your system administrator to ensure the related App is installed on your system.
