When checks are generated in CommunitySuite, the written dollar amount currently appears in the following format:
Two thousand two hundred and forty-eight dollars and 47/100
This format includes “and” within the whole-number portion of the amount. While grammatically correct, it differs from the more common U.S. check-writing convention, where “and” is typically reserved for the cents portion.
Example of the commonly used U.S. format:
Two thousand two hundred forty-eight and 47/100 dollars
This wording is standard in many U.S. accounting systems and check templates, so the current format can appear unusual to finance teams that are accustomed to the U.S. convention.
Suggested Solutions:
Update the default wording to follow the U.S. convention, or
Provide a configuration option allowing organizations to choose between the current format and the U.S. format.
Providing this flexibility would allow organizations to align their checks with their internal accounting standards and maintain consistency with other financial systems.
