About Disbursements
Disbursements are used to record payments made to vendors or individuals for purchases made by your company. These payments can be made for supertrack inventory items, general ledger accounts (e.g. expenses), or previously entered purchase receipts (bills). The disbursements can be recorded from bank accounts, company credit cards, or the currently open cash drawer. You can also have ManageMore print a check for you if the disbursement is made from a bank account that has check printing enabled.

Voiding Disbursements
Disbursements may be voided by selecting an existing disbursement from a list and pressing <delete> or clicking the Delete button. This will automatically select the highlighted receipt for reversal. This will reverse the accounting for the disbursement record. If bills were paid, the program will reinstate the bills for payment. If items or GL accounts were paid, the program will reverse the purchase receipt created.
Accounting For Disbursements
The accounting shown is strictly for the disbursement transaction. If disbursing for items or GL accounts, the program will automatically create a purchase receipt transaction. Thus, the accounting for a purchase receipt would occur first, followed by the accounting shown below.
If disbursing for bills, only the accounting below applies as the purchase receipt accounting has already taken place.

Q & A - Disbursements
Q01. Can I pay a bill partially?
A01. First, enter the amount to be paid in the disbursement amount field. Then double-click on the bill to be paid.
Q02. How do I reprint a check?
A02. Recheck the "To be printed" checkbox. Once the disbursement is saved, the program will add this disbursement to the checks to be printed screen.
Q03. I have a negative balance with my vendor and they just sent me a check to satisfy the account. Can I enter a negative disbursement?
A03. Yes, simply select "Credit" for the transaction type. If you have a negative vendor balance, you can simply check off the outstanding Purchase Credits (Apply to Bills mode); or create a new credit by entering items or GL accounts.
Q04. My vendor balance for a certain vendor is in the negative. Now they sent me a check, but it is not for the whole amount of the negative balance. What do I do to satisfy the check and the balance?
A04. Create a new purchase credit for that vendor and select the Use GL accounts checkbox. Then enter the GL account for the bank account that is being used and enter the amount of the check in the unit price field. This will post this check to your bank account's general ledger account and raise your vendor balance by the proper amount.
Q05. I don't see my question here. Where else can I get information?
