Mid-year is not a special product. It is the same record with a joining date. Templates that only know “year start” will invoice the wrong months. Lagos still has to do this against WAEC, NECO, Lagos State Ministry of Education, IGCSE. September-ish starts are common; public holidays and election days belong on the holiday master. Named facts: WAEC, NECO, Nigerian Naira, Lagos State Ministry of Education.
Nigerian Naira term fees; generator and development levies should be named heads, not informal cash. Named facts: WAEC, NECO, Nigerian Naira, Lagos State Ministry of Education.
