How Rounding Affects Distributions

Suppose that we want to accrue checks using all nine examples. Keep in mind, the accrual is based on $0.04 (US Dollars).

Notice that the Accrual Amounts must be adjusted up or down to accommodate for rounding. Using this example, you can see how debits and credits could get out of balance. If debits do not equal credits, the system adjusts them to get the transactions back to a balanced amount for Effective Date, Fund, Pay Type, and balancing segments.

Ex.	Accrual %	Accrual Amount (.04 * %)	Round	Amount Used
1	10	0.004	Down	0.00
2	20	0.008	Up	0.01
3	30	0.0120	Down	0.01
4	40	0.0160	Up	0.02
5	50	0.0200	--	0.02
6	60	0.0240	Down	0.02
7	70	0.0280	Up	0.03
8	80	0.0320	Down	0.03
9	90	0.0360	Up	0.04

Note: If you have more entries rounding up or more rounding down, the system has to make greater adjustments in order to balance debit and credit amounts. See Rounding Accruals for more information.
