Billing report update in SOCS Co-curricular

The latest update to the billing report now includes an option to exclude 'register only' pupils. This new feature ensures that students who are not actively participating in billed activities—such as one-off exceptions—are not included in the charges, giving you greater control and accuracy when generating your reports. This enhancement streamlines your billing process and helps avoid any unnecessary charges.
