student-specific billing rules
Billing Charges lets you create billing rules that apply broadly to students. For example, you can charge $100 a credit to all English majors and $150 a credit to all civil engineering majors.
A student-specific billing rule assigned to a student further refines the criteria. For example, the overall billing rule charges $100 a credit to all English majors, but a student-specific billing rule adds an additional $75 charge for English majors who are exchange students. Exchange students have the rule applied in their session data.
Another example may be levelized, grandfathered or guaranteed tuition where the tuition structure is the same but the amount depends on when the student entered your institution.
...
Custom rules may only be utilized with the Billing Charges interface; they are not supported on the legacy Billing Rules interface.
