texte = I'm having a problem with the way WebDNA rounds our tax calculations. The POS system we enter our web orders into for fulfillment rounds up at .005. WebDNA does not, so we have a lot of transaction that are off by .01¢.Example: an item costs $46.00. Our tax rate here is 8.25% (.0825). The underlying value is 3.795. WebDNA calculates the tax as $3.79, our POS systems calculates it as $3.40.I see where the [taxtotal] is located on the invoice page, but I don't see where the calculation is being made. I also can't find any Round command in the documentation to make the calculation round up at .005.Any help would be appreciated.Thanks.-- Mark D.
