Define roundings
If you work with percentage discounts, you can specify how the sales prices are to be rounded. The program rounds off commercially. However, rounding is also applied in other places, for example when calculating the refund when using foreign currencies, percentage tips or hourly rate bookings.
Commercial rounding takes place....
If the digit at the first omitted decimal place is not greater than a 4, it is rounded down. Otherwise, round up and the following decimal places are not taken into account.
This rounding rule is described by the DIN 1333 standard.
In general, you can choose between rounding up and rounding down and specify the decimal place to which you want to round down. In addition, you can also enter the permitted digits, for example to automatically receive prices with xx,90 only.

Discounts or foreign currency |
Select whether you want to enter rounding for discounts, foreign currencies or time items. |
| rounding type |
Choose between rounding, rounding up and rounding down. For rounding up, 1 is rounded up, for rounding down, 9 is rounded down. Commercial rounding is used for rounds. |
| rounding point | Choose between the 1. and the second digit after the comma. If you do not want any amount after the decimal point, you can additionally only activate the target value digit 0. |
| Target value exception |
The target value determines the valid numbers that can be used for the rounding result. Invalid values are skipped and the system searches for the next valid value that cannot then correspond to the business rounding rules. For example, if you select the digits 0 and 5 as permissible, you will only get the whole (0) or half (5) value for a rounding, for example: 2,50 / 14,- |
| example calculation |
To check your expected rounding function, you can enter an amount in the Source value field once you have made the necessary settings, in order to obtain the calculated result in the target value. To recalculate with new settings, you must enter the value again. |
| hourly rates |
For the function Book hourly rates you can set from how many minutes onwards rounding to the desired number of minutes should take place. In our example, 10 minutes and more are rounded up to a quarter of an hour. If you round up 60 minutes from 1 minute, you will be charged one hour from the first minute and two hours from the 61st minute.
