Deactivating or deleting a billing plan will ensure recurring invoices are no longer posted to a student's billing account. Plans can be deactivated immediately or scheduled to automatically be deleted on a specific date in the future.

Providers may wish to deactivate billing plans if a student leaves, tuition rates change, or a duplicate plan was created.


Deactivate billing plans

Providers can deactivate billing plans for multiple students at once, or on a individual basis. This is a permanent action and cannot be undone. In some cases, you may wish to pause and unpause a plan instead.

Deactivate plans for individual students

  1. Log in to brightwheel on the web

  2. Click Billing in the left sidebar

  3. Select a student to open their billing profile

  4. Click the Account details tab, then choose Actions > Deactivate next to the plan

  5. Select a reason for deactivating, if the plan will end immediately or deactivate on a specific date

  6. Click Confirm when done

FAQs

What happens if I choose to automatically deactivate a plan on a specific date?

FAQs

Where can I view deleted billing plans?

Once deleted, the plan will no longer generate new charges and will be listed under the Inactive tab on a student's Account details page

How do I clear incorrect charges leftover after I delete a billing plan?

If after deactivating a billing plan, the student's account still displays a balance from unintended charges you can fix this by Reducing or Voiding invoices that have been posted to the account to bring their balance owed down to $0.00.

If a student is moving to a new tuition rate, should I update the existing billing plan or delete it?

Both options work - we recommend picking what works best of you. If you update the existing plan, you’ll need to manually adjust the rate when it takes effect.

Or, you can set the current plan to deactivate on the exact transition date. Once that’s scheduled, create a new billing plan with the updated rate and a start date so it automatically takes effect when the new tuition begins.
