Disbursement Items

 

How to get there: Program Menu > Configuration > Accounting Configurations > Disbursement Items

 

Overview: Disbursements are generally used for petty cash transactions but can also be used to make accounting entries for things such as check refunds, bad checks, or bad debt. They can also be used to create additional payment types for account payments for direct payments made to your bank account. All disbursements will show on your daily G/L report and if you are importing to your accounting software they will import.

 

From the Program Menu, select # 9Configuration > Accounting Configurations > Disbursement Items.

 

 

 

1.  Click on the ‘Add’ button.

2.  If you have multiple stores and want to use the disbursement at one location, enter that store’s number in the ‘Store’ field. If you want ALL stores to have access enter ‘000’ in the ‘Store’ field.

3.  Enter the name of the Disbursement.

4.  Enter a General Ledger Account number (if you are importing to an accounting program).

5.  If you are going to disable the Disbursement, you can check the box to make inactive. This will mark this disbursement in red and hide it in the background.

6.  You can use a disbursement as a payment method in the payment drop down box by checking the Use as Account Payment Method.

7.  You can separate your GL entries by checking the box. Your GL entries will be separated by disbursement.
