Disabling the Rounded Total Feature for Precise Accounting

Introduction

In the Empress business management system, each sales transaction, such as a Sales Order or Sales Invoice, comes with a built-in feature called ‘Rounded Total’. This feature automatically calculates a rounded total value based on the Grand Total of your sales transactions. This value is readily visible in the Standard Print Formats, making it a simple and efficient way to view your total sales figures.

However, there may be instances where you prefer not to have your totals rounded. In this case, Empress offers an easy solution - the ability to disable the ‘Rounded Total’ feature. This guide will guide you through the process of disabling this feature, giving you more control over how you view and manage your financial data.

Benefits of the Disable Rounded Total Feature

Disabling the ‘Rounded Total’ feature can be particularly beneficial in certain business scenarios. For example, if your company prefers precise numbers for bookkeeping or auditing purposes, you may find the rounded figures inconvenient or unnecessary. By disabling this feature, you can view your sales figures in their exact amounts, allowing for more detailed and accurate financial analysis.

How to Disable the Rounded Total Feature

Disabling the ‘Rounded Total’ feature in Empress is a straightforward process. Here are the steps:

Step 1: Access Global Defaults

The first step is to locate the ‘Global Defaults’ settings. To do this, simply type ‘Global Defaults’ into the search bar at the top of your Empress interface, known as the Awesome Bar.

Step 2: Disable Rounded Total

Once you’ve accessed the ‘Global Defaults’ settings, look for the option labeled ‘Disable Rounded Total’. Check the box next to this option, then click ‘Save’ to apply your changes.

Verifying Your Changes

After disabling the ‘Rounded Total’ feature, it’s important to verify that your changes have been successfully applied. To do this, clear the cache in your web browser and refresh your Empress account. Now, when you view your sales transactions in the Standard Print Formats, you should no longer see a value for the Rounded Total.

Please Note: Changes to the ‘Rounded Total’ setting will only affect the Standard Print Formats. If you use other print formats, you may need to adjust the settings for each format individually.

Conclusion

The ‘Disable Rounded Total’ feature in Empress offers you the flexibility to tailor your sales transaction format to your business’s unique needs. Whether you prefer to include rounded totals in your financial data or not, Empress makes it easy to customize your settings accordingly. This hands-on control is just one more way Empress enhances your business processes and contributes to efficient and accurate financial management.
