Your First Distribution
So you've done your last deposit and you need to distribute the money you've accumulated in your account. The steps below will walk you through what you need to do to make that happen.
Steps
- The first step is to make sure we are not on the last batch we intend to distribute. The system will not allow you to distribute a batch that you are currently on, so if we are on the last batch we need to distribute, we need to move off of that one. This can be done by clicking the new batch button on the Batch Control Page.
- The next step is optional, but you can go to the Receipt Report Page and print off that report over the range of batches you wish to distribute. Because the receipt report is a record of all the transactions you processed, this could be used to double check your distribution numbers.
- The third step is to go to the Distribution Page. This is the page that allows you to mark your receipts as distributed. Please thoroughly review the Distribution Page before continuing. Once you are familiar with the page, you will select the checkbox for which taxing body you are distributing for, and select the ending batch you wish to distribute through. Then you will click the blue distribute button at the top right corner of the page. You have now completed the distribution.
- The final step is to print out the necessary reports. These can vary from county to township, but most will require at least the Distribution Report. This report breaks down all of the money going to the taxing body. One other report you may need is the ACT 169 report. For more information on this, please get in contact with whomever you reconcile with.
Conclusion
By following these steps, you will have completed your first distribution.
