The disbursement payment (transaction number prefix DP) is a special form of general payment used to record a disbursement on a file that is paid immediately as it is incurred, from a bank account, credit card or petty cash. All payment methods are supported.
 
Disbursement payment
 
This type of transaction always debits the disbursements controlled account.
 
In most cases, the payee will not be a creditor.
 
The disbursement(s) will be billable once the transaction has been processed.

Cancelling disbursement cheques

In the event of a disbursement payment by cheque being billed to the client, but subsequently becoming a stale cheque, a special function ("cancel cheque & retain disbursement") is provided, which converts the payment into a disbursement journal and replaces the DP transaction with a general payment representing the cancelled cheque.
