What is different about running a school in Meru
Meru trades in cash more than most counties. The miraa economy around Maua and Nkubu turns over daily and settles in notes, and a good deal of the farming and market trade around it works the same way.
For a school, that means a real share of fee income is handed over at a window rather than sent from a phone. Cash is the one payment channel with no automatic record attached to it, and it is therefore the one where a school is most exposed to an error nobody can trace, or worse.
Making cash as traceable as M-Pesa
Every receipt issued goes into a register the school can see in full, with who issued it, when, against which learner and which vote head. A parent holds a receipt anyone can verify from a public link, so a receipt that was never entered does not quietly balance.
Because the same entries feed the cash book and the general ledger, what was taken at the window and what appears in the accounts are the same event rather than two records that have to be reconciled at year end.
Six ways to receive a payment are supported, including one receipt covering several children in the same family.

Questions from Meru schools
How does Enaton handle fees paid in cash at the school office?
A cash payment is receipted in the system at the counter, which puts it against the learner and the vote head immediately and adds it to the receipt register with the issuing staff member and the time. The parent holds a receipt anyone can verify from a public link.
Can the school see every receipt that has been issued?
Yes. The receipt register shows every receipt with who issued it, when, for which learner and against which vote head, and receipts can be exported in bulk.
What happens if a payment is cancelled or moved?
Transactions can be allocated, transferred, split or cancelled, and every one of those actions is recorded against the person who did it with a timestamp rather than happening silently.
