The Office to Office Transfer (OTO) can be used to transfer a Non VAT Disbursement from 1 matter to another. Note this function moves money, not the disbursement itself. Please look at the example below.
​
I want to move Β£50.00 Disb from Matter A to Matter B:

  1. From the DPS Home screen click Client Postings.

  2. Click General Postings.

  3. Select Type as OTO.

  4. Enter Matter B in the From Matter.

  5. Enter matter A into To Matter.

  6. In this example its a transfer of a Disbursement so untick, tick If For Bills.

  7. complete the remaining fields as appropriate and Add to Batch then Post Batch.

If the Disbursement you wish to move contains VAT, you can reverse the original DPU posting, provided the original transaction and the reversal are in the same month.
​
Or, Post a DPU with minus values to the file you want to transfer 'From', then post a positive DPU to the matter you wish to move the Disbursement 'To'. Please see the example below:

  1. From the DPS home screen, select Client Postings.

  2. Click General Postings.

  3. Select Posting type DPU.

  4. For the matter you want to transfer 'From', In the Net Value box, press the minus key, then enter the value.

  5. .Click Add to Batch.

  6. For the matter, you want to transfer 'To' Repeat steps 1-5 but instead, enter a positive value in point 4.

  7. click Post Batch.
