Disbursements

Within the Selected Budget tab, the Disbursements sub-tab enables you to create and manage Disbursement Budgets linked to individual Staff members.

If the source budget is an Approved Budget, then the new Disbursement Budget will be an Adjusted Budget.

Disbursement Budgets can be added only to Stages where Staff are budgeted for. Disbursements cannot be linked to Staff Types.
