# QLD Kindy for All - Manually Settling Kindy Payments

# QLD Kindy for All - Manually Settling Kindy Payments

This article will assist you with applying the updated QLD Free Kindy estimations for children to ensure their account balance is kept up to date.

### Overview

The automatic addition of the **QLD Free Kindy payments** to eligible children in Xap is based on the child being on the **Forecast** for the period.


### When would you manually settle the QLD Free Kindy payments?

The Automated Kindy Payments process will only apply payments for the current period. Manually settling payments has the following benefits:

* You are able to apply the Kindy Payments for children who have just been added to the forecast after it has been submitted and don't have to wait for the invoice cycle for payments to be added for the current period.
* If you added a child to a forecast in a prior period, or adjust bookings or varied session reports for one or many children, you can settle the payments at the Forecast, Program or Child level to ensure balances are as up to date as possible.

|| Some examples of when this might be needed is when ACCS is backdated or when an Enrolment is formalised.

To apply the estimated QLD Free Kindy payments, this can be applied:
* Per Forecast - All Programs and all Children
* Per Program - All Children in a Program
* Per Child - A single Child
