Rounding Factor

Indicates how LN rounds off entered and calculated amounts or quantities. The quantities and amounts are rounded off to the nearest multiple of the rounding factor. For example, if the rounding factor is 0.030000, a quantity of 2,11 is rounded off to 2,10 (= 70 * 0.030000). A quantity of 2,12 is rounded off to 2,13 (= 71 * 0.030000).

The following differences exist between rounding factors for currencies and for units:

  • LN applies the rounding factor for units immediately when the users enter the data. LN applies the rounding factor for currencies not to the amounts entered, but after performing the applicable calculations.
  • In some cases, you can change rounding factors for units, but you cannot do this for currencies.

Allowed values

The rounding factor must have the same number of decimals or less than specified for the currency in the Formats by Generic Unit (ttaad1107m000) session.

Grand Total Rounding Factor

To round the grand total amounts on legal documents that you send to your customers, such as sales quotations, service contracts, and sales invoices.

For example, if the currency rounding factor is 0.01 and grand totals must be rounded on 0.05, you can use grand total rounding and define a grand total rounding factor of 0.05.

If you do not want to use grand total rounding for amounts in this currency, set this field to zero.
