🔍 How do I override a calculated entry in SureFire?
This guide explains what to do when SureFire won’t let you type an amount into a calculated entry, and how to override it when needed.
⚠️ Before You Begin
You may see a message box indicating the entry is calculated when you try to type an amount.
A calculated entry cannot be deleted, but it can be overridden.
📊 Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Select the entry you want to override
Use this when you need to choose the exact calculated field you want to change.
Place the cursor in the entry field that you intend to override.
Step 2: Turn on override mode
Use this to switch the calculated field so you can enter a new amount.
Press the F8 key or right-click in the field and select Override on the shortcut menu.
Step 3: Enter the new amount
Use this to replace the calculated value with your override.
Type the new amount into the field.
Step 4: Confirm the change
Use this to apply the override.
Press Enter.
✅ Success!
SureFire displays the entry on a red on a gray background.
This will make it easy to identify as an override.
📝 Notes
- Whenever possible, correct a calculated entry by correcting the supporting form or schedule.
- When overriding an entry, SureFire assumes that your entry is correct and that the change is permanent.
- Any other changes you make in the return that would normally affect that entry will not change it.
↩️ How to Reverse an Override
- To reverse an override and return it to its calculated value, place the cursor in the entry and press Shift+F8.
- Alternatively, right-click the entry and select Un-override on the shortcut menu.
