Description

This parameter specifies the method for rounding tax amounts. It is used if the precision defined by the TAX_PRECISION parameter was modified.

Possible values are:

  • NEAREST: Rounds towards the nearest neighbor. If the discarded fraction is >= .5, then raise, otherwise truncate.
  • TRUNCATE: Truncates the amount. The fraction is discarded.
  • RAISE: Increments the digit prior to a non-zero discarded fraction.

Recommendation: Please note that we recommend to give the same value to the TAX_ROUNDING_MODE parameter for each instance to avoid inconsistency in computed amounts.
