Learn about disbursements

Monthly charges can be managed by importing charges as disbursements.

There are a number of methods that you can use to allocate disbursements to a job: manually, automatically or via an import.

You have to create the disbursement codes you require for your firm, either with or without a set amount. The amount can be overridden when adding manual disbursements. You can also import charges, photocopier costs and any other disbursement amounts using a .csv file, thereby eliminating the need for manual disbursements or estimating charges.

To manage and monitor the disbursements allocated, go to Jobs & Billing > Disbursements, where you can see:

All disbursements
Disbursements currently not allocated to jobs
Disbursements currently allocated to jobs (manual or automatic)

Tip: You can also view the allocated and unallocated disbursements for an individual job by clicking the Disbursements tab on the Job Details page.

To view all disbursements logged during a selected period, use the Disbursement Analysis report.
