# Disbursement cycle

A disbursement cycle follows the workflow as shown in the diagram below

{% embed url="<https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVIgcVrck=/?share_link_id=192023865723>" %}

Once you approve a list for disbursement under a disbursement cycle, the system picks up this list and hands over this to G2P Bridge.

G2P Bridge then processes this list depending on benefit codes and geographical distribution of the beneficiaries.

The entire processing within G2P Bridge is automated and does not require any manual intervention. You can see the final status of the disbursements within the Priority List - under two distinct tabs -

1. View Disbursement Envelopes and
2. View Disbursement Batches

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.openg2p.org/products/pbms/design/disbursement-workflow.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
