Rounding tab

The fields on this tab tell Sage Estimating (SQL) how to handle rounding, waste, and taxes for each category of an item. Example

Example: Here are some examples of how rounding affects the order quantity.

Examples of rounding
To round	Round option	Increment	Result
Up to nearest 1/2	Up to closest	0.5	1.5 becomes 2.0
Nearest whole number	Closest	1.0	3.3 becomes 3.0 1.5 becomes 2.0
Down to nearest hundredth	Down to closest	0.01	1.142 becomes 1.14

Tips:

These fields control rounding if you mark the Round quantities option when printing a report or generating transactions for job cost. Rounding is done on the order quantity, used to calculate costs.
Spreadsheet quantities are not rounded because cumulative rounding would create a significant error. If you want to round the quantities on the spreadsheet, set up a formula for the item that includes the Round function.
