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.
- Select the checkboxes beside each category that applies to the item.
