This payment in the payment monitor is actually a reservation (Re-served Money) which status is In Preparation. In cash position report, the reserved money has to come under disbursements because the money is already reserved and it cannot be used by any other payments. The money is locked by the payment proposals. Thus the Cash Position report shows this information.
