## What's new

- **Distribution Rules tab.** A fund's record has a `Distribution Rules` tab listing its rules in
  the order they are applied: who each pays, its payment type and its share of the available
  balance. If you can change funds, add, edit, delete and reorder rules with `Move up` and
  `Move down`, then select `Save rules`. A rule pays either the applications allocated from the
  fund in one year, by Application or Milestone Payment, or applicants you name, by Contact
  Payment. Shares can't total more than 100%. See
  [A fund's record](/administrator/funds/fund-record#distribution-rules).
- **Generate Payment Batch.** Select `Generate Payment Batch` on a fund's record to see what one
  Draft batch would hold: each rule's lines and amount, and each rule or recipient left out with
  the reason. Allocated applications are paid up to what is still unpaid of their allocation.
  Tick the fund's donor
  conditions, and note the donor consultation when the fund asks for one, then select `Generate`
  and open the new batch. See
  [Generating a payment batch](/administrator/funds/fund-record#generating-a-payment-batch).
