Disbursement (Payment Batch)

Turning an approved run into a bank payment batch, then a NIBSS file, then reconciling.

Disbursement is how an approved payroll run becomes actual payments. The system creates a payment batch (one line per employee, split across accounts if configured), a second person approves it, you download the NIBSS file for your bank, and then reconcile each line as paid, returned or failed.
