# Rounding options

Choose how many decimal places money is rounded to, and how figures exactly halfway are rounded, to match your accounting system.

If OrderEazi and your accounting system round figures differently, an invoice can be a cent out once it's exported. The **Rounding** settings in System Settings set how many decimal places prices and totals are rounded to, and which way a figure exactly halfway goes.

### Before you start

You'll need the **Organization Setup** permission, in the **Settings** permission group. Find out how your accounting system rounds first, so you can match it.

> **Warning:** A change only applies from then on. Figures already saved aren't rounded again, and documents already issued keep the rounding they were issued with.

### How to change your rounding

1. In the main menu, go to **Settings** > **Organization Setup**.
2. Select the **Configuration** tab.
3. Under **Rounding**, choose the **Decimal Places**: **2 (cents)**, **3**, or **4**.
4. Choose the **Midpoint Rounding**: **Away From Zero** or **To Even (banker's)**.
5. Select **Save**.

You see "System Settings saved successfully". The rounding applies wherever a figure leaves OrderEazi: on screens, documents, exports, and integrations.

### How midpoint rounding works

Midpoint rounding decides what happens to a figure that lands exactly halfway, such as 0.005 at two decimal places.

| Figure    | Away From Zero | To Even (banker's) |
| --------- | -------------- | ------------------ |
| 0.005     | 0.01           | 0.00               |
| 0.015     | 0.02           | 0.02               |
| 0.025     | 0.03           | 0.02               |
| 0.035     | 0.04           | 0.04               |
| **Total** | **0.10**       | **0.08**           |

* **Away From Zero:** A halfway figure always rounds away from zero, so 0.005 becomes 0.01 and -0.005 becomes -0.01. This is how OrderEazi has always rounded.
* **To Even (banker's):** A halfway figure rounds to the nearest even digit, so halfway figures don't all go the same way and a long list of figures doesn't drift upwards.

**Example:** Your finance team captures invoices by hand in an accounting system that uses banker's rounding. An invoice line works out to R102.025. With **Away From Zero**, OrderEazi shows R102.03, but your accounting system records R102.02. You change **Midpoint Rounding** to **To Even (banker's)**, and new invoices match your accounting system to the cent.

### When rounding is set by your accounting system

Some accounting systems set the rounding for you: Palladium, Sage Evolution, Sage One, Xero, and QuickBooks Online. When an invoice export to one of them is turned on, both fields are locked at 2 decimal places, rounding away from zero. You see "The rounding policy is set by your connected accounting system and cannot be changed here."

To change the rounding, turn off the invoice exporter for your accounting system and save it. The fields can then be changed. Make sure they still match how your accounting system rounds.

Currencies with a different number of decimals, such as the Japanese yen with none, use their own decimals on their documents.
