Configure the Sibling Discount Policy

This page covers GEMS-specific configuration. General concession setup is on the Concession Management overview.

The sibling discount policy defines the discount rate applied to students based on their position in a family. It is school-specific, configured once per school, and revisited only if the school's discount rules change.

  1. Open the Sibling Discount Policy

    From the FNO dashboard, open Modules ▸ Academic Management, expand Setup, click Sibling setup, then click Sibling discount policy.

  2. Add a policy entry

    Click Add to create a new entry. Enter the sibling order number for the child position (for example, enter 3 for the third child) — use the sibling order numbers configured in the Sibling Order setup. Only current students carry an active sibling order; future and past students default to 0 (⑤).

    Configure sibling discount policy — the Sibling discount policy list with Add button and policy entry fields

  3. Enter a descriptive name

    Enter a name for the policy entry (⑥). Write it clearly and unambiguously — for example, Third child — new student or Third child — existing family, existing student — because this description is read by the GEMS Parent Experience (PXP) app agent.

  4. Select the student type

    Choose the student type for this entry:

    • New student — students with no prior enrolment history at the school.
    • Existing family, existing student — students already enrolled from a family already registered in the system.
    • Existing family only — students from a known family but without an existing enrolment record.

  5. Select the line discount group and save

    Select the line discount group (⑧) to link this entry to the correct trade agreement — line discount groups are configured separately under the Sibling Order setup process. Repeat steps 2–5 for each sibling position and student type combination required by the school's policy. Click Save.
