## What SmartAcademy does in the background

The backend checks the inquiry has not already been converted, creates the student record, creates the enrollment record, links it to the organization, and records the conversion in audit logs.

## Tips

- Use a unique admission number.
- After conversion, complete the student profile, guardians, documents, and fees.
