In the customer account monitor when you select this customer invoice the values & amounts may look something like this (please note the following values are just example numbers):

• Maximum Cash Discount: -18.000,01
• Normal Cash Discount: -6.000,01
• Total Invoice value: 660000
• Cash Discount Percentage: 3%

To calculate the Maximum Cash Discount the system must first calculate a proportional value.
The Proportional value is calculated by:
Total Item Net Value/ Total Invoice value = proportional value
The system calculates a proportion as follows: 600000/660000 = 0.9090909090909
-> This data type can hold only 6 decimal places. So the 6th decimal place needs to be rounded up/down. => 0.909091

System is calculating Maximum Cash Discount as expected.

Example:  600000/660000  = 0.909091

Maximum Cash Discount Amount calculation = -1 * proportion * Transaction Amount * Maximum Cash Discount Percentage / 100.

Calculation using this example: -1 * 0.909091 * 660000 * 3 / 100
Maximum Cash Discount:  18,000.01
