Rounding errors
08/01/05 at 11:38:49
 
In case IS Techs are ever sitting around with nothing to do (LOL) it would be nice if closely related programs such as SO and INV used the same rounding conventions.  For instance, when we make  a sale from a Sales order acknowledgement with a walk in customer the Sales Tax is 1.885 and the total on the SO is 26.88 because in the  sales order module it is rounded to 1.88.  On the invoice DBA rounds it to 1.89 and so the total is 26.89.  Iknow, I know, its only a penny-- its the pennies that drive an accounting person crazy!  She's collected one penny less than she needs to apply to the invoice!
Sooo, what are the chances of that getting fixed? Wink

We just had this problem in July.  Would like to see it fixed too.

I have noticed it a few times as well, but hadn't figured out what was causing it. Partly because of that, I generally don't tell a walk-in customer the amount until I look at the invoice (this also verifies the quantites, no B/Os, etc). However, it would be nice not to have to worry about it.

Re: Rounding errors in Invoicing

This also happens within DBA itself.  We post an invoice for subtotal $692.64 with San Diego tax calc at 7.75% or $53.6796 which printed as $53.68 on the invoice BUT when it posted to the customer's account (AR) it was $53.67.  
 
Freight was $6.82 and the total invoice amount printed as $753.14 (which is correct) BUT THE TOTAL POSTED TO THE CUSTOMER ACCOUNT $753.13.  Finding all the files that are off by a penny is tedious so this is really the penny from hell.
