Enter Checks - Whole dollar mode

Issue

I want to round amounts up to the nearest whole dollar. How do I do that?

Explanation

Use Whole Dollar mode to automatically round all monetary values to the nearest whole dollar, removing cents from amounts. 

• $125.67 → $126

• $43.20  → $43

• $99.50  → $100

 

Why it's important?

• Simplicity. Makes reports and data easier to read and process. 

• Speed. Speeds up data entry when precision to the cent isn't required. 

• Data conversion/import. Sometimes used during bulk imports or testing to avoid cent-level discrepancies. 

 

Important

• Not recommended for actual financial transactions like billing, payroll, or bank reconciliation—those require full cent-level accuracy. 

 

Solution

To use whole dollar mode when I enter a check, click Whole Dollar Mode  button. 

 

 

To change the default setting to enter amounts as whole dollars,   

1. Open Enter Checks. 

2. Click Options  (F12).

3. Click to select Whole Dollar Mode. 

 

4. Click OK.
