Use the Rapid Clear dialog for heads-down entry of checks and debits from the bank statement. As you enter the check number and amount , the application looks for exact matches and if one is found, it is marked as cleared. Any mismatched items will appear on the dialog that follows where they can be applied to an uncleared item.

Any amounts cleared here can be uncleared and/or modified on the Checks and Other Debits tab.

Check #
Enter the check numbers from the bank statement into this column.

Amount
Enter the amount that appears on the bank statement and press Tab or Enter to move to the Amount column or the next line depending on the option selected. If you are sure of the accuracy of the amounts on the bank statement, you can choose the Default Amount option, which will automatically enter the amount that corresponds to a valid check number.

Matched
If the check number and amount you enter match an amount in the application, this checkbox will automatically be marked. All matches are automatically cleared. Any items that are not matched will appear on the Mismatched Checks and Debits dialog where they can be applied to an uncleared item.

Choose one of the following Data Entry Options

None
No data entry options are specified.

Auto increment
After you enter the first check number, the application will automatically increment each successive check number by one, so you only need to enter the check amounts. You may manually override the automatically generated number by simply typing the check number in the field. This option works best when there are many contiguous check numbers on the bank statement.

Default Amount
If you choose this option, you only have to enter the check number and the application will automatically enter the check amount if a matching check number is found. This option works best when cleared checks nearly always match the amounts already entered in the application.
