Budget rounding rules
Rounding rules determine the rounding method and rounding precision used to calculate budgets and costs. You can select one rounding rule as the default for all budgets.
Rounding methods:
Method | Description | Example |
---|---|---|
Normal | This is the standard rounding method which rounds an amount to the higher value or the lower value based on whether the actual value is above or below the midpoint. |
Given a Two Decimal Points precision: 2345.134 would be rounded to 2345.13 2345.136 would be rounded to 2345.14 |
High | Always rounds up to the higher value |
Given a Two Decimal Points precision: Both 2345.134 and 2345.136 would be rounded to 2345.14 |
Low | Always rounds down to the lower value |
Given a Two Decimal Points precision: Both 2345.134 and 2345.136 would be rounded to 2345.13 |
Precision
The precision indicates the number of decimals (if any) that display in budget amounts.
Precision | Description | Example |
---|---|---|
Currency Decimals | The budget amounts display as many decimals as the budget currency normally displays |
For the US dollar or the EURO, the number of decimals would be 2. 23450.1236 would be rounded to 23450.12 (Normal or Low rounding method) or 23450.13 (High rounding method) 23450.6768 would be rounded to 23450.68 (Normal or High rounding method) or 23450.67 (Low rounding method) |
Whole Number | The budget amounts do not display any decimals. Rounding is applied to the whole number |
23450.1236 would be rounded to 23450 (Normal or Low rounding method) or 23451 (High rounding method) 23450.6768 would be rounded to 23451 (Normal or High rounding method) or 23450 (Low rounding method) |
One Decimal Point | The budget amounts display one decimal |
23450.1236 would be rounded to 23450.1 (Normal or Low rounding method) or 23450.2 (High rounding method) 23450.6768 would be rounded to 23450.7 (Normal or High rounding method) or 23450.6 (Low rounding method) |
Two Decimal Points | The budget amounts display two decimals |
23450.1236 would be rounded to 23450.12 (Normal or Low rounding method) or 23450.13 (High rounding method) 23450.6768 would be rounded to 23450.68 (Normal or High rounding method) or 23450.67 (Low rounding method) |
Three Decimal Points | The budget amounts display three decimals |
23450.1236 would be rounded to 23450.123 (Normal or Low rounding method) or 23450.134 (High rounding method) 23450.6768 would be rounded to 23450.677 (Normal or High rounding method) or 23450.676 (Low rounding method) |
