I'm sure it doesn't. In keeping with the general bank procedures in the U.S., however, I copy the memo line of the check into "memo" or make up my own for cash and other things; and put something like "ck 11472" or "transfer" or "cash" in source. Again, though, that's more an internal matter than anything I believe. > Enter the amount in BOTH amount fields, and THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT, DO > NOT SKIP THIS STEP, tick the select box, between the "amount due" and > the "amount" fields of the table line items. > I advise you NOT to click "update" at this stage, but instead: > Click post. Here is where our methods differ: if you only check the box(es), and then select "update", the program should fill in the proper amounts. You may then update further to your heart's content, and finally select post. Only if you are paying fractional invoices, should you need to do anything with the amount fields.
