| # Using rounding factors A rounding factor indicates how LN rounds off entered and calculated amounts or quantities. The quantities and amounts are rounded off to the nearest multiple of the rounding factor. For example, if the rounding factor is 0.030000, a quantity of 2,11 is rounded off to 2,10 (= 70 * 0.030000). A quantity of 2,12 is rounded off to 2,13 (= 71 * 0.030000). The following differences exist between rounding factors for currencies and for units: LN applies the rounding factor for units immediately when the users enter the data. LN applies the rounding factor for currencies not to the amounts entered, but after performing the applicable calculations. In some cases, you can change rounding factors for units, but you cannot do this for currencies. Example
Rounding factor | Entered value | Resulting value
4.000000 | 1 | 0
4.000000 | 5 | 4
4.000000 | 6 | 8
0.025000 | 1,000 | 1,000
0.025000 | 3,778 | 3,775
0.025000 | 3,788 | 3,800
