You can manage the students' transport fees for all months by simply setting the due date for that month and the fine type. If the fine type is marked as none, the percentage and fix amount tabs are disabled, which means a fine will not be applicable for that month. If the fine type is unmarked as none, you need to set the fine as a percentage or as a fixed amount, so that a fine will be applicable for that month in the form of a percentage or fixed amount. Now, if the due date of fees for that month has passed, the fine, whether it is a percentage or a fixed amount, that you have set will be automatically applied to the student transport fees.
