Hello,

We run a 50% sales each week, since our pricing does not end in even number
the system discount an item price at $4.99 to $2.15. We would like to pass
on the 1 extra cent to our customer for a true 50% off with the discount
being $2.15, instead of; $2.14 on our odd price items.

I have been looking into the Price Rounding Rules to see how to do this.
Has any one else already encounter this in the past? How do you fix it?

Good afternoon Ed,

Thank you for posting your rounding question.

There are no settings to round down; and in testing the prices for a $4.99
item shows up as $2.495 which is then rounded to $2.50.

The only option I can think of would be to set the discount percentage to
be 50.01%.

You may also want to:

1. Take a look at the Solution Finder to see if there is a 3rd party
product that does this. The link is as follows; and you will want to filter
on Works With - Retail Management System:

2. Post your question in the public forum to see if anyone has a way to do
this:

Hopefully this helps.
