Contribution Check Entry Window

[ldcrouse]

I am writing about the Contribution Check Entry window that pops up after you enter the fund number and amount. It says "The transaction is in balance. Do you want to save it now?"

I don't see the purpose for this window. It saves no keystrokes because if it didn't pop up, all you would have to do is click save anyway.

However, it does require more keystrokes and can be somewhat annoying if you are changing the contribution fund because you have to cancel the window first and then enter the fund change.

Am I missing something, why do you have this popup window?

In my case it does serve a useful purpose. We encourage our members to only write one check to cover the operating and building funds. This box helps to insure that the entire amount of the check has been entered as requested.

Also, our contributors normally write a weekly check for the same amount every week, so all I have to do is run the check through the check reader, then verify the amount and hit the enter button a couple of times to save it.

However, if you're not using a check reader, then I would not be using this contribution entry form, I'd use the standard one.
