Click the "Money Out" button and choose "Owner Distributions" from the drop-down options:

Fill in the information about the owner, property, and unit if applicable. Then press the "Create" button. If the owner has not set up the online payments, enable the "Mark as Paid" toggle button: When creating the distribution, select the appropriate bank account from which the funds will be disbursed to ensure accurate transaction recording.
