System Advice: If an error is discovered in an Owner Disbursement, you can quickly VOID the transaction and then issue the correct disbursement. Learn more here Void Online Payments

Tip: If you'd rather, you can navigate to selectively pay owners one at a time by right-clicking on an Owner and choosing Pay Owner. Additionally, you can pay all owners associated with a specific default bank account by right-clicking on the bank account and choosing Pay Owners there. Both options take you to the Pay Owner Wizard but offer only the owner(s) associated with those choices.
