Quantity, Unit, Price, Discount, Tax, and Rounding Reference
Overview
This guide will help you review transaction calculations consistently and identify whether a difference comes from units, pricing, discounts, taxes, or rounding.
Numeric differences have an identifiable calculation source.
Who can do this
You need access to Underlying transaction/report access; override rights are separate.
Before you start
Know base/transaction unit, conversion, quantity precision, price level, currency, discount order, tax inclusivity/rate/base, and company decimal places.
Before saving, check that the correct company is open and that you have permission to complete this task.
Where to find it
Open the relevant transaction lines and corresponding detail report.
Quantity, Unit, Price, Discount, Tax, and Rounding Reference
Step 1: Convert quantity to the verified base or comparison unit
Step 2: Confirm selected price/cost source and unit

Step 4: Determine tax-inclusive versus tax-exclusive calculation
Step 5: Apply additional charges/withholding as configured
Apply more charges/withholding as set up.
Step 6: Round at the actual line/document stage using company decimal places
Step 7: Compare line sum with document/report totals
Check your work
Representative lines and document totals reproduce independently within the verified rounding rule.
Take a moment to check your work before closing the window. This small check can save time later.
If something goes wrong
- Do not force agreement with unrelated discounts or charges.
- Multi-unit and tax-inclusive comparisons are common sources of apparent differences.
