RE: Rounding Errors -- SYSTEM21


I imagine since you're in the UK, you probably have A/P set for
mult-currency.  But, just in case you don't...

First, I assuming you are using 3-way invoice matching (/API).  We had the
problem you speak of and traced it back to the A/P company profile
(3/ASCO).  If "Multi-currency" is set to 0, then the "Default currency rate
code" MUST be set to *DFT.  Unfortunately, the system thinks this is an
error and will not accept the screen that way.  The only way to do it is to
DBU directly to the database.  You will find anytime you maintain the
company profile it will make you take *DFT out before you can save your
change.  Then you are forced to DBU it back in again.

This problem exists in all versions of 3.5.2 through SP2.  We are currently
testing SP3 and it has the same problem.  I don't know if the UK or
Americas solution packs fix the problem, since we have not yet applied
them.

Good luck.

Not directly related but we've been having problems for a while now with
rounding error postings on purchase invoices.
Values are not being correctly posted to our GRN account. Instead they are
posted to roundings.
JBA/GEAC have applied a couple of SP4 'fixes' which haven't worked - they
say it's related to where lines are amended on a Purchase Order. We're on
version 3.5.2

Anybody had similar problems ?

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.

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?
