8. Rounding Configuration

To set how prices for weight-based products are rounded:

1. Go to your POS (Point of Sale) System.
2. Find the “General Settings” section.
3. Scroll down until you see “Weight Product Rounding.”

Here’s what you can change:

• Round off Direction: Choose between “Mid-point up” (round up when the price is exactly halfway) or “Mid-point down” (round down when the price is exactly halfway).
• Rounding to Nearest: Decide how much you want to round to (the default is $0.01, but you can change it to any amount you like). 

8 (a). Mid-point up: If the number is 4.645, it rounds up to 4.65. This means that when the number is exactly halfway (like .5), we round it up to the next higher number.

8 (b). Mid-point down: If the number is 4.645, it rounds down to 4.64. This means that when the number is exactly halfway (like .5), we round it down to the previous number.
