Rounding error in pricing

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We have one issue for Russia in Pricing

We have one condition type for Base price and the value is 515.30 $ and

Surcharge is 15% o the Base price which willl be 515.30*15/100 which equals to 77.295

The total is Baseprice + Surchage which was calculated as 515.30+77.295 = 592.595 ( but rounded as 592.60) which is showing a difference

If customer orders for 10 parts, then there will be 2 $ variace between the amount calclated and showed in SAP

Can you please let me know why this is displayed with rounding , is this standard behavious and if so, where was it controled.

thanks

I dont think this will be treated as an issue by the client. It is general that in exports, there will always be some difference in decimals. Considering all these things only, client would have arrived at their selling price. If I am correct, this would be addressed by having a separate G/L account for Gain or Loss in foreign exchange.

Check one such thread where a similar topic was discussed some time back.

[Re: Exports|]

May be you can check with your FI counter part also on this.

thanks
