2608852 - Unable to Allocate Payment Completely due to Rounding - Switzerland, Australia

Symptom

A payment cannot be allocated completely because a small amount remains to be allocated.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Payment Management Work Center.
  2. Select the Payment Allocation View.
  3. Search for the payment allocation XXX (where XXX stands for the payment allocation ID).
  4. Open the payment allocation XXX in status in preparation.

On the top you will see a notice that the amount is not completely allocated.

Cause

  • Currencies such as Swiss Francs or Australian dollars do not have low denomination coins such as 1c or 2c
  • For these currencies, the price must be rounded to the nearest available value, such as 0c or 5c.
  • Following is the system behavior for Rounding an amount in sales and service documents:
    • Anything in between 0.01 - 0.24 will be rounded off to 0.00, e. g. 999.24 -> 999.00
    • Anything in between 0.25 - 0.49 will be rounded off to 0.50, e. g. 999.35 -> 999.50.
    • Anything in between 0.51 - 0.74 will be rounded off to 0.50, e. g. 999.74 -> 999.50.
    • Anything in between 0.75 - 0.99 will be rounded off to 1.00, e. g. 999.76 -> 1000.00.
  •  The Rounding off is a standard setting in the Business Configuration activity Configure Price Strategy, you cannot change the configuration setting for the Rounding.
