RE: Rounding Errors

We have the same problem. On our system, If JBA calculates a discount but
the customer does not take a discount, some of our users try to adjust
(AJ)the discount out. The user should try to zero the discount amount (DC)
out. Go into the Menu ARE Option 6 Session & look at the accounts receivable
session where the rounding error occurred. Look for AJ item types for the
same amount showing up in the Rounding Error. See if there is also a DC
amount for the same amount.

Subject: Rounding Errors


We have a number of postings happening to the Rounding Errors Account in
General Ledger coming from Cash Allocation when discount is taken up.  
Perhaps two postings per day and we have a significant number of receipts.

The rounding errors are intermittent and cannot be reproduced on demand,
making a correction to the program and procedures impossible.

The Vat Codes are setup, as say 10%, with the correct discount account
defined on the second screen of 1/GLV.  The discount basis is '2' because we
need the VAT Adjustment raised if & when the discount is taken.

Most of the time the derived postings are correct (Cr Debtors, Dr Bank, Dr
Discount), BUT other times they are not (Cr Debtors, Dr Bank, Dr Rounding
Errors).

Has anyone come across a similar problem and perhaps a remedy?
