Rounding
Rounding can be used when the final amount paid with selected payment type should be rounded to the nearest available denomination. This is usually used for cash payments in countries where smaller coins are not used.
Rounding is applied only to the payment amount. Product prices, subtotal, taxes, and invoice total are not changed. If rounding is applied, Aronium will show the rounding adjustment on the printed receipt.
Example
If the invoice total is 100.02 and the payment type is set to round to the nearest 0.05, the cash payment will be rounded to 100.00. The receipt will show a rounding adjustment of -0.02.
If the invoice total is 100.03, the cash payment will be rounded to 100.05. The receipt will show a rounding adjustment of +0.02.
Round to the nearest
Select the denomination used for rounding selected payment type.
- Off - No rounding is applied.
- 0.05 - Payment amount is rounded to the nearest 0.05.
- 0.10 - Payment amount is rounded to the nearest 0.10.
- 1.00 - Payment amount is rounded to the nearest whole currency unit.
Other available values can be used if your country or business rules require a different rounding denomination.
Rounding rule
Select how Aronium should round the payment amount when it is not already matching the selected denomination.
- None - No rounding adjustment is applied.
- Round to nearest (Up) - Rounds to the nearest increment. If the amount is exactly in the middle, it rounds up to the next increment.
- Round to nearest (Down) - Rounds to the nearest increment. If the amount is exactly in the middle, it rounds down to the previous increment.
- Always round up - Always rounds the payment amount up to the next available increment.
- Always round down - Always rounds the payment amount down to the previous available increment.
Important
Rounding should be enabled only for payment types where rounding is required, usually for cash payments. Card and other electronic payments are commonly paid in the exact amount and should normally have rounding set to Off.
To enable rounding for a payment type:
- Open Management > Payment types.
- Add a new payment type or edit an existing one, for example Cash.
- Open the Rounding tab.
- In Round to the nearest, select the required denomination, for example 0.05.
- In Rounding rule, select the required rule. In most cases, Round to nearest (Up) should be used.
- Click Save.
After rounding is enabled, Aronium will calculate the rounding adjustment when selected payment type is used to close a sale. The adjustment will be shown on printed receipts, X/Z reports and included in payment reports.
