A consequence of this is that an occasional discounted customer docket may have a few cents discrepancy from the amount on their statement.
An example of the worst-case scenario is;:
Item #1 $4.95 less 10% discount = $4.455
This is rounded to $4.46 on account, and $4.50 on docket
Item #2 $6.95 less 10% discount = $6.25
Rounded to $6.26 on the account and $6.30 on a docket.
Docket total $ 10.80,
Account total $10.72
