Rounding Accruals
Distributions are made to the Accrual % first, then the Check %. (See Using Accruals for more information.) Consequently, if the Accrual % is less than 50%, any cent adjustments are going to be distributed to the Check % transactions. As you can see from the following examples, the amount could vary slightly due to numbers being rounded by certain percentages. These examples are based on US Currency.
10% Accrual
For an accrual of 10%, there would be no accrual amount because 10% of $0.04 is $0.004, which rounds down to $0.00.
