see the attached screenshots demonstrating this in a simple example
I have 1 settlement entered for $100,000.00 and I have 1 case expense entered for $10.00. As soon as I add a transaction to show the case expense as being paid to the provider and the DTF item gets added, now my settlement view shows that I have disbursed $10.00 out of the settlement. That is incorrect. I have not disbursed anything out of the settlement.
This is bad because later when we do actually disburse funds out of the settlement you end up showing as having disbursed twice the amount of the DTF amount.
