# Managing Disbursements

### Overview

The Control Super **Disbursements** dashboard provides a central location to manage the flow of funds for your investment opportunities. From here, you can track your transaction history, deposit funds into your holding pool, and create new disbursements to distribute returns.

### Before You Begin

{% hint style="info" %}
To create a disbursement, ensure you have a linked bank account set up and sufficient funds deposited into your "Pool Balance."
{% endhint %}

### Steps

#### Step 1: Access the Disbursements Dashboard

Navigate to the **Disbursements** tab in the sidebar. The main dashboard displays a snapshot of your current financial standing, including:

* **Pool Balance:** Funds currently available for disbursement.
* **Total Deposited:** Total funds moved into the platform.
* **Total Disbursed:** Total funds paid out.
* **Pending:** Number of transactions currently processing.

Below the metrics, the **Transaction History** table provides a detailed log of all deposits and disbursements, showing the Type, Status, Date, and Amount for each.

#### Step 2: Deposit Funds into the Pool

Before you can distribute funds, you must move money from your bank account into the disbursement pool.

1. Click the **Deposit** button in the top right corner.
2. Select the **Opportunity** associated with these funds.
3. Select the **Source Account** (your linked bank account).
4. Enter the **Deposit Amount**.
5. Click **Deposit** to initiate the transfer.

This ensures the funds are "Available in Pool" for future distribution.

#### Step 3: Create a New Disbursement

Once sufficient funds are available in your Pool Balance, you can distribute them to investors.

1. Click the **New Disbursement** button in the top right corner.
2. **Opportunity:** Select the specific opportunity for this distribution.
3. **Amount:** Enter the total amount you wish to disburse.
4. **Description:** (Optional) Add a label, such as "Dividend Distribution" or "Interest Payment."

The modal will display the "Available in Pool" balance to ensure you do not exceed your limits.

#### Step 4: Confirm Disbursement

After clicking **Review**, a confirmation screen will appear.

1. Review the **Opportunity**, **Amount**, and **Description**.
2. Check the **Remaining Pool Balance** to ensure your accounting is correct.
3. Click **Confirm** to finalise the transaction.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Note:** Once confirmed, the disbursement will be queued for processing and generally cannot be cancelled.
{% endhint %}

***

### Tracking Status

Upon confirmation, the transaction will appear in your **Transaction History** table at the top of the list.

* **Processing:** The transaction has been initiated but not yet settled.
* **Completed:** The funds have been successfully disbursed.

You can monitor the status of all past and current transactions directly from this list.
