Rounding Rules for Transaction Entry

Ratios are most commonly used in the Allocation Management, and Multicurrency modules and when using Distribution Codes. When a rounding overage or underage occurs, the system looks for the transaction line that has the largest proportional share of the given transaction and attributes the difference to that line.

A typical transaction scenario could occur as follows:

Line #	Fund	Grant	GL	Dept	Amount to Distribute/ Allocate	Ratio	Amount Distributed/ Allocated
1	111	111	5000	111	500.00	0.3333	166.650
2	222	222	5000	222	500.00	0.4555	227.750
3	333	333	5000	333	500.00	0.2111	105.555
4	444	444	5000	444	500.00	0.0001	0.055
Total					500.00	100.00%	500.010

Note that the multiplication has resulted in a .01 overage. The system will subtract this .01 overage from line 2 in order to maintain a balanced entry.
