How to request a cheque, wire or e-transfer for a matter disbursement?

In some cases, you may wish to pay for an expense related to a client from your general account and add that amount as a disbursement to the matter. To do so, you will have to add a cheque, wire or e-transfer request from within the matter.

If you are going to make a payment out of your general account related to a disbursement for a matter, you will have to take the following steps:

1. Go to the matter transactions page.

2. Click the bank account dropdown and select general account

4. Fill out the information and ensure you click "Add Disbursement" then complete the request. This will create a ghost transaction to keep the matter balances accurate and prevent the General account balance from going negative.Screenshot 2026-05-11 093340
