Getting Ready-SMS/FMS Nelnet Fee Class Configuration Parameter (Screen ZX0070, Parameter CA1071) To control which fee classes will be included or excluded from payment with the Nelnet Automatic payment process, a new configuration parameter (CA1071) has been added to ZX0070 (Configuration Parameter Table).

This table must be set up before your process begins.  CA1071 Sample Parameter Values o To include fee classes “I ” o To exclude fee classes “E ”  The data entered on this screen are used to populate student sponsorship records.
