- The Transaction requester allows for the editing of the
- four types of transactions (Checks, Other Debits,
- Deposits, and Other Credits). You select the type of
- transaction to edit from the Main Screen's Edit Menu.
- For more information, consult the Main Help Screen.
-
- New transactions can be either added (ADD function) to
- the current checkbook or not entered at all (CANCEL);
- checks can additionally be voided (VOID). Previously
- entered transactions (chosen by double-clicking on the
- transaction shown in the transaction list on the Main
- Screen) can be either updated (UPDATE), deleted
- (DELETE), or left unaltered (CANCEL); and also voided
- (VOID) if it is a check. Once a check becomes voided,
- none of its information can be edited. The only
- functions available for voided checks are DELETE and
- CANCEL.
-
- If Batch Mode is ON [see the Main Help Screen], selecting
- the ADD option will bring up a new transaction of the
- same type to edit. To exit Batch Mode editing, select
- CANCEL. NOTE: This will neither enter the current
- transaction into the checkbook nor toggle Batch Mode to
- its OFF state.
-
- After entering new or updating entered transactions,
- the running and checkbook balances are automatically
- updated.
