Marking Disbursements on the bill as Payment on account for Legal Aid

How to mark disbursements on a bill as Payment on account. How does it show the bill as less when monies on account have been received?

This is marked at the point of producing the bill detail in the Assessed Claims Manager..
The disbursements have a tick box that stipulates POA which is the Payment on Account and needs to be ticked if these are not to be included in the amount due.
​
The bill will then incorporate all the disbursements and be the correct value, but will only have the amount outstanding and due as the value excluding what you have already received from the Legal Aid Board,
​
When paying the disbursement this needs to be allocated by a disbursement receipt rather than the assessed claim manager marking this over to pay in the journal done.
