Documentation

Definition

You enter a number of places here for rounding the percentage rates the system determines internally. The value is interpreted so that numbers are rounded to the number of decimal places that you enter here.

Examples

Example 1 (technical):
Perc. rate: 14.25%
No. of places: 1
14.25% -> 0.1425 -> rounding: 0.1 -> 10.0%

Example 2 (practical):
In Japan, the law requires calculating depreciation using three decimal places. Percentage rates that do not have three decimal places are rounded accordingly.
Straight line depreciation is assumed.

UL (years)    %    rounded

5    0.2    0.2

6    0.166666666    0.167

7    0.142857142    0.143

The standard setting for this field is 0. When you enter 0, the the system calculates as before, with 10 decimal places. For keys that do not have to be rounded, it is only necessary to maintain them if you previously entered a number of places for rounding.
