The D.A. type decides which disbursement accounts are created.
D.A. type | What it creates |
Standard | A proforma D.A. first, then the final D.A. |
FDA Only | The final D.A. only |
Tips
Check the E.T.A.: It drives the D.A. timeline, so confirm it carefully.
Skip the proforma: Choose FDA Only when you do not need a proforma D.A.
