SAP Note 18607 - IS-H Rounding problems condition discount billing

Symptom:

Rounding errors can occur for various discounts calculated for an invoice when applying conditions. Example: nursing charge as a time-based service over several days with a 5% chief physician discount (via condition).

1. Standard calculation:
Price * Days - discount (5%).

2. Frequently,however, the insurance company requires:
( Price - Discount ) * Days.
Rounding could produce differing results.

Solution

The first method has been implemented by default.

If the second method is desired, enter computing formula '007' in the calculation to determine the discount for the corresponding condition type (e.g. 'NWBA'). The correct type of calculation is performed.

Additional information:

• Differences in rounding can also be compiled using standard condition type 'DIFF'.

• If a surcharge/discount is to be calculated for multiple invoice positions, you can set group conditions (Example: sum of Pos1 + Pos2 + Pos3 ) * Discount).
