Revalue Policy: System offers below rules for revalue policy (e.g. final rounding of the subtotal)

1. round to nearest factor: System automatically does the rounding of subtotal to the nearest factor.
2. round down to factor: System automatically round down the subtotal to the nearest factor.
3. Round up to factor : System automatically round up the subtotal to the nearest factor.
4. Round to 5 cents: System automatically round the subtotal, with "5 cents" being the smallest factor.
5. Round to 10 cents (round up 5 cent): System automatically round the subtotal, with "10 cents" been the smallest factor.
6. Round to 10 cents (round down 5 cent): System automatically round the subtotal with 10 cent being the smallest factor and round down 5 cent.
7. Round to 25 cents: System automatically round to 25 cents.
8. Round to 50 cents: System automatically round to 50 cents.

• The revalue policy is used in conjunction with number of decimal places set for price.
• When use fraction factors ( e.g. 5, 10, 25, 50 cent), the setting in option "Factor for revaluing prices" is not used.
• The revalue policy only applied to subtotal and non of the individual product item price is effected.

Factor for revaluing prices: You can set the factor used for the system to determine the revalue amount. The remainder of "order subtotal" divided by the "factor for revalue prices", will be applied with revalue policy. For example, if the "factor for revalue prices" is set to 10, and the Revalue Policy is set to round down to factor. If the order subtotal is 109, the system will round automatically round down the 9 dollars, hence the payment subtotal now is 100. To further elaborate the logic, the remainder of 109 divided by 10 is 9, and given the revalue policy is rounding down to factor, the remainder is discarded. So if subtotal falls between 101 or 109, with the above revalue setting, the final payment total will be 100.
