Calculations Preferences

Calculations preferences info:

Assign a key to perform a specific calculation while in an amount field and when using pop-up calculators. For example, to make a quick calculation to add 2.5% sales tax, you can assign the S key to perform the calculation of multiplying by 1.025. You can assign up to 10 calculations for different keys.

Setup a calculation:

  1. Go to the program's Calculations preferences.
  2. Select the math operator for the calculation.
  3. Set the amount for the calculation.
  • Click "Cancel" or press Escape (Esc) to cancel creating a new transaction or to cancel any changes made to an existing transaction.

Note Note: The keys are case sensitive. The following keys are not available for assigning shortcuts due to being used of other purposes:

  • Any math operator (+, -, *, x, /, =, etc).
  • A - Used to enter the current amount in pop-up calculators.
  • C - Used to clear the amount in pop-up calculators.
