Use this process to record a payment out of the manager’s own ledger within the trust account. The manager account uses a manual disbursement entry rather than the usual property Disburse All process.
Record the disbursement, then complete the bank payment
Saving an Owner Disbursement records the outgoing amount in BookingTrust. It does not send money through your bank.

Before you start
- Review Trust Account > Manager Account and confirm the funds belong to the manager. This is a ledger within the trust account, not the manager’s external trading bank account.
- Decide how much to withdraw after checking the available balance and any amounts needed for outstanding obligations. Do not use another owner’s funds.
- Check that the payment has not already been recorded or included in an earlier bank-payment batch.
Record the manager-account disbursement
- Go to Trust Account > Disbursements and find the manager-account entry. Check its property/account reference carefully.
- Select the linked amount in the Remittance column. The column may be abbreviated to Remit.
- On Add Transaction, check that the entry is Owner Disbursement for the manager account. Enter the amount you intend to pay; it can be less than the displayed amount.
- Check the transaction date, source bank account, destination bank details and payment method. Use the actual intended transaction details and add a useful reference.
- Check the amount again, then select Save once.
Check the record and complete payment
Review the saved transaction and manager-account balance. For an eligible electronic payment, check that the amount and destination appear in the payment export, then follow Export and complete bank payments. Complete and verify the bank payment separately, then reconcile it against the bank transaction.
Why is there no Disburse All button?
The manager account is not an ordinary booking-backed owner property. Use its linked Remittance amount for this manual entry. A missing button on a normal owner property can have other causes; see Disburse property funds.
The amount or destination looks wrong. Should I save anyway?
No. Review the manager ledger and bank details first. Contact support if the balance or available controls do not match the intended payment.
