How to hide the word Dollars in all our prints? or change it to US Dollars?

Hello anonymousUSR,

It's awesome to see that you're using QuickBooks Desktop Accountant! I appreciate the screenshot of the cheque setup as I can see exactly what you're looking for. I can help you with this.

I've gone ahead and removed the image from this post since it had an address. It's important to me that these kinds of details for both yourself and vendors or customers are protected to ensure everyone's privacy.

When it comes to writing and printing cheques from QuickBooks Desktop, it's important to note that not all of what you see on the screen is going to print. What prints is the amount, the date, and other important details like that. Something like the dollars portion may already exist on the cheque you're printing the information onto.

Here's an example from a test company file of what from the cheque would print.

That test was also done on a USD vendor, which you can see from how I've named the vendor for this example. I noticed in your screenshot that it didn't appear you had set up the vendor for USD. When you have a transaction that's using something other than the home currency, the program will show you two boxes: one of the home currency amount and the other of the foreign currency. Here's what my cheque looks like for instance.

You'll note that my exchange is one-to-one between the CAD and USD currency, however that's simply because of the format of the test file I'm using, which has future dates that don't yet have an exchange rate.

Since your screenshot didn't have those boxes, it could mean one of three things:

1. Your home currency is set for USD, in which case, you're good to go.
2. You didn't set up your vendor with USD as their currency.
3. You don't have multicurrency turned on at all.

For options 2 and 3, here's what you can do. I'd like to start by making sure you do have multicurrency configured if you need it. The following article walks you through setting it up: Set up and use Multicurrency. If you're already using multicurrency, you should see that when going through the steps.

Next, you'll want to make sure your vendor is set up for USD. Once you set up something and assign a currency to it, that currency cannot be changed. For that reason, making the current vendor setup inactive and creating the profile with the proper currency is the way to go. Please note that you won't be able to duplicate the vendor name, so I recommend changing the one you're about to make inactive in include something like punctuation. For instance, it could like like "Acme.", leaving the Acme option available to use on the new setup. Follow these steps.

1. Select the Vendors menu, then Vendor Centre.
2. On the Vendors list, double-click the vendor name.
3. Change the name if desired.
4. Check off the box Vendor is inactive.
5. Click OK.

If the vendor has a balance, you will need to take care of that before making them inactive. When you're ready to create the vendor anew, click New Vendor in the Vendor Centre window.

If you have a case where you need you vendor to have transactions in different currencies, it'll mean setting up another vendor profile for that person in the foreign currency. For instance, in my test file, I have both an Acme vendor set up with CAD currency and then the Acme USD vendor that you saw in my earlier screenshots set up with USD currency.

I know this is a lot of information, so I encourage you to reach out to QuickBooks Desktop support to have the chance to have a one-on-one conversation about this with one of our support team. The Intuit QuickBooks Desktop software support policies goes over in detail how you can get in touch.

I hope that helps!
