Configure RL-24 classes, eligible add-ons, B.1/B.2 stays, and transmission

Configure the RL-24 features that are available now: identify eligible classes and add-ons, select whether a stay is reported in box B.1 or B.2, prepare slips, and transmit them directly to Revenu Québec from Activity Messenger.

# Before you begin

You need permission to edit forms and classes. To prepare and transmit slips, you also need access to the organization’s RL-24 management page.

The organization must have Generates RL-24 slips for childcare expenses (Quebec) enabled under Organization settings > General > Advanced options.

# Configure an eligible class and its type of stay

1. Open the class settings.
2. Under Advanced options, turn on RL-24 eligible.
3. Choose the applicable Type of stay:
   • B.1 — Days of care for childcare calculated in days.
   • B.2 — Weeks with overnight stays for a boarding school or overnight camp.
4. Save the class.

The selected type determines whether the eligible duration is reported as days in box B.1 or weeks in box B.2. If the same child has eligible registrations of both types, Activity Messenger prepares a separate RL-24 slip for each type because B.1 and B.2 cannot be combined on one slip.

# Configure add-ons on a form

1. Open the form that contains the Class/Event question.
2. Edit the question and locate the Add-ons section.
3. Turn on Class to configure add-ons associated with the registration.
4. For each add-on, turn on RL-24 eligible when its fee should be included in eligible expenses.
5. Save the question and the form.

The switch is off by default and is shown only when the selected class is enabled for RL-24 slips. The same option is available for Booking and Products add-ons when those sections are enabled. Hiding the switch does not erase its saved value.

# Override the form add-ons for one class

A class can use its own add-ons instead of the add-ons configured on the form.

1. From the Class/Event question, open the settings for the selected class.
2. Turn on Override form add-ons options.
3. Add or edit the class-specific add-ons.
4. Set RL-24 eligible for each add-on, then save.

When the override is enabled, the class add-ons replace the form add-ons for that class. Other classes keep the form configuration unless they also define an override.

# What happens when an invoice is created

The eligibility status in effect at the time of invoicing is copied to the invoice add-on:

• An eligible add-on is included in the RL-24 eligible amount.
• A non-eligible add-on is excluded from that amount.
• Changing the form or class later affects new invoices only. It does not silently change add-ons already invoiced.

This preserves the original invoicing decision while allowing an administrator to correct it when necessary.

# Correct add-ons that were already invoiced

On the RL-24 page, open Invoices, then select Manage RL-24 add-ons. Choose the class and add-on name, review the number of matching invoiced add-ons, and apply Eligible or Not eligible.

The correction is applied in bulk to editable invoices for that class and add-on—not to only one child or one invoice. The current invoice statuses determine the selection shown in the bulk editor. If an add-on has never received an invoice-level status, its original form or class setting is used. A mixed set is left unselected so the administrator can make an explicit choice.

Participations already linked to an existing RL-24 slip are locked in this correction screen. The invoice itself is not locked; the protection prevents an issued slip from being changed indirectly.

# Example

A Before care add-on costs $20. Turning on RL-24 eligible includes that $20 on new invoices used to calculate the RL-24 amount. If invoices were created before the setting was enabled, use Manage RL-24 add-ons to correct those historical invoice add-ons.

# Transmit slips directly to Revenu Québec

Before transmitting, open RL-24 > Summary and complete the required organization and transmission information, including the contact name and phone number, transmitter number, identification number, sequence range, NEQ, and organization address. The validation reply email is where Revenu Québec sends the file-validation result.

To transmit slips:

1. Open RL-24 > Slips.
2. Select the applicable status: Not transmitted, Correction required, Modified, or Cancelled.
3. Review the slips included in that status and choose Review and transmit.
4. Choose the recommended Transmit to Revenu Québec action and confirm the transmission.
5. Keep the window open until Revenu Québec confirms receipt and Activity Messenger displays the government reference.
6. Open History when you need to review previous direct transmissions.

Direct transmission replaces the usual manual XML upload. The XML file remains available as a fallback when a manual transmission is required. A failed direct transmission leaves the slips unsent so you can correct the reported error and try again.

# Receipt is not final acceptance

The government reference confirms that Revenu Québec received the file; it does not confirm that every slip is valid. Review the validation report in the Revenu Québec portal. Only after the file is declared valid should you mark the slips Available so clients can access them in their accounts and receive the availability email.

For a correction or cancellation, filter the slips by the corresponding status before transmitting. Activity Messenger selects the matching Revenu Québec operation automatically.
