General Preferences

The "General" preference page features a handful of specific settings that could not fit in the other menus. They are nonetheless essential:

...

  • Round up away from zero, when it is half way there. This is the recommended mode. 42.55555555 becomes 42.56.
  • Round down towards zero, when it is half way there. 42.55555555 becomes 42.56.
  • Round towards the next even value. 42.55555555 becomes 42.56.
  • Round towards the next odd value. 42.55555555 becomes 42.56.
  • Round up to the nearest value. 42.55555555 becomes 42.56.
  • Round down to the nearest value. 42.55555555 becomes 42.55.
Note
titleFor versions below 1.6.0.11

The rounding option got heavily reworked for version 1.6.0.11. Before that version, there was only one option:

Round mode. Once taxes and discount are applied, a price can feature too many decimals, such as $42.333333333. The round mode is used during the price calculation process (taxes, discount, etc.). There are three modes:

  • Superior. Rounding up: 42.333333333 becomes 42.34.
  • Inferior. Rounding down: 42.333333333 becomes 42.33.
  • Classical. It rounds the value up or down depending on the value: up when above .5, down when below .5.

...

  • Round on each item. Each item price will be rounded before calculation of the total. If there are more than one of the same item, each of those will be rounded separately before calculation.
  • Round on each line. Each line of items will be rounded before calculation of the total.  If there are more than one of the same item, the rounding will be done on their total value.
  • Round on the total. The rounding will only be done on the final calculation, after the values of all items have been added up.
