One-time charges are helpful when providers need to manually bill families for one-off services that may not recur on a regular frequency, such as registration fees, deposits, meals, field trips, one-off agency subsidy charges and more. When Administrators create a one-time charge, this sends a separate invoice to the family.

When creating a one-time charge, you can add existing charges, create new ones, apply a discount, set a due date, and choose when the invoice posts. To assign charges to specific payers, follow the steps: <a href="#h_372a671eb7">Assign a one-time charge to specific payers</a>.

Once created, private payers can view the portion they owe from their brightwheel account.
