VAT is being rounded up wrongly

(0) ShareShare

I am baffled by this behavior of BC rounding up the VAT Amount.

My BC has Local Currency setup as USD and VAT Rounding Type set to as Nearest;

Here is my currency setup for AED;

When I create a PO in AED with Total Value without VAT as 50, with 5% VAT 52.50;

The VAT Prod. Posting V1 with VAT Bus. Posting is configured to be 5%

But when I do preview posting to check the ledger values of this document;

I get VAT as 0.69. Which is not correct.

If my base amount is 50, then 50 * 0.05 is 2.5 which is correct VAT. Now if we do 2.5/3.6725 it is 0.6807. So why is or how is BC rounding it up I can't figure out and its been 4 days now.

I am really grateful if someone here can point it out from me.

    Hi,

    As per my knowledge VAT rounding depends upon the Amount Rounding Precision that you have setup in G/L Setup. Please check what Amount Rounding Precision you are using ?

    Amount rounding precision is shown above in the screenshot.

    It is 0.01.

    Please note this is a standard BC behavior for us this is why I am baffled. All extensions were uninstalled to be sure it isn't some developer's code messing it up but still it would round up.
