Click Sales and marketing > Setup > Price/discount > Smart rounding.

Use this form to create price rounding rules. Price rounding rules help you control your price endings per price break and per currency. The rules can be:

  • Used automatically after currency conversion.

  • Applied manually to trade agreements after a bulk update of the trade agreements.

This scenario is an example of how to use smart rounding for price rounding rules:

Your legal entity has defined price ending policies for each currency that it trades in and, for some currencies, it also decides on noncomplex smart rounding rules:

  • All prices under 1,000 after currency conversion must have the price ending #9,95.

  • Every amount between #9,95 and #3 must be rounded down to the nearest #9,95.

  • Everything else must be rounded up to the nearest #9,95.

You enter the rounding rules in the Smart rounding form as follows:

Unit price from

Unit price to

Syntax

Lower limit

Upper limit

0,00

1,000.00

#9,95

#3

#3

Run the price simulation to apply the rounding. You see these price examples as the result:

700,00

699,95

Note

To apply smart rounding automatically after currency conversion, select the Apply smart rounding after currency conversion option. Find this option on the Prices tab in the Accounts receivable parameters form. To apply smart rounding manually to a trade agreement, click Adjustment, and then Apply smart rounding on the Journal lines, price/discount agreement form.
