This can be edited by going to settings Settings > my settingsMy Settings. Do not use appliance settings > time billing as this only changes the settings for future users.

Disbursements

This category is for any outlays or disbursements that the firm makes. Disbursements can be made by prefilling a disbursement or by making a new payment. There are two types of Disbursements - Pay Now (Credit Card, Cheque etc) and Pay Later (Accounts Payable).

Recoveries

Recoveries are used when charging a client for use of a business provided service or product that has already been paid for. Recoveries can be referred to as outlays that have been Paid Already. This amount, unlike an outlay, can be marked up. 
For example, your business may charge a client $1.00 per page of photocopying. This would be charged out as a recovery.
