Prior to this modification, the check number wasn't being refreshed on the page. It was being refreshed within the system so closing and re-opening the page refreshed the check number correctly. The program was modified so the displayed check number is always refreshed and displayed correctly after printing a batch of checks.

A "Print Manual Check Image" option has been added to the "Check Information Section" requiring a Yes/No option. If "Yes" is chosen, an image of the manual check will be printed when the disbursement is added. This option provides the ability of documenting entry of a manual check and printing an image of the check which may be filed with the matter. The option only functions if a manual check number is entered. If left blank, the option is ignored.

It is no longer necessary to enter a cash disbursement general ledger distribution number when processing client cost disbursement checks. If left blank, L.A.W.S./Pro automatically inserts the "Disbursement Charge" account stored in Firm Setup.

The entry of Trust Disbursement checks has been streamlined. A trust check is defined as a check drawn against a "Trust" cash account. "Trust" cash accounts are always matched with a corresponding liability account. The assigned liability general ledger number is automatically assigned as the trust checks distribution line item account number and need not be entered. It is no longer required that a bill code or attorney be entered with trust distribution line items.
