The Approved amount in View List / Payment window is
better to always reflect the remaining amount and not
amount set in fee structure.

When a student is removed from a sponsor category.
His/her name still appear in the View List / Payment
window. There should be note beside invoice,
indicating that this student is no longer under this
sponsor.

    this must depend on the user business rules. From my
    angle, the report shuld still show the previous triggered
    invoice/receipts (that has sponsor_id tag on it) cos its
    on record, and to wipe them out just becos they are
    deleted from sponsor list may be dangerous and the user
    loses track of what is in history.

    In fact to have those records not appearing can be a
    business bug.

    However your suggestion to put a note besides the name is
    a gud idea and i shall do it.

    I guess we are at a different track :)

    1. I tested the sponsor module by invoicing PTPTN of
    Student A RM1,000 (2005/2006N session). Then I tried to
    make payment. I realised that the approved amount is
    defaulted to RM1,200 (i guess this amount is taken from
    amount set in fee structure). It will be less confusing if
    it's defaulted to the amount we invoiced, which is RM1,000
    in this case.

    2. Next, I went to the Sponsor Setup Module and deleted
    Student A from PTPTN list. I realised that Student A is
    still in the PTPTN 2005/2006N session invoice list in
    Sponsor Payment Module. I am suggesting that, we should
    put a note beside indicating Student A is no longer under
    PTPTN.
