Set up cash roundings
=====================
=============
Cash Rounding
=============
**Cash rounding** is required when the lowest physical denomination
of currency, or the smallest coin, is higher than the minimum unit
of account.
In some currencies, the smallest coins do not exist. For example, in
Switzerland, there is no coin for 0.01 CHF. For this reason, if invoices
are paid in cash, you have to round their total amount to the smallest
coin that exist in the currency. For the CHF, the smallest coin is 0.05
CHF.
For example, some countries require their companies to round up or
down the total amount of an invoice to the nearest five cents, when
the payment is made in cash.
There are two strategies for the rounding:
1. Add a line on the invoice for the rounding
2. Add the rounding in the tax amount
Both strategies are applicable in Odoo.
Configuration
--------------
First, you have to activate the feature. For this, go in
:menuselection:`Accounting --> Configuration --> Settings`
and activate the Cash Rounding.
Configuration
=============
Go to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Configuration --> Settings`
and enable *Cash Rounding*, then click on *Save*.

There is a new menu to manage cash roundings in
:menuselection:`Accounting --> Configuration --> Management --> Cash roundings`.
Go to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Configuration --> Cash Roundings`,
and click on *Create*.
Now, you can create cash roundings. You can choose between two rounding
strategies:
Define here your *Rounding Precision*, *Rounding Strategy*, and
*Rounding Method*.
1. **Add a rounding line**: if a rounding is necessary, Odoo will add a
line on your customer invoice to take this rounding into
account. You also have to define the account in which the
rounding will go.
Odoo supports two **rounding strategies**:
2. **Modify tax amount:** Odoo will add the rounding to the amount of
the highest tax.

1. **Add a rounding line**: a *rounding* line is added on the invoice.
You have to define which account records the cash roundings.
2. **Modify tax amount**: the rounding is applied in the taxes section.
Apply roundings
---------------
Once your roundings are created, you can apply them on customer
invoices. On the customer invoices, there is a new field called **Cash
Rounding Method** where you can simply choose one of the rounding methods
created previously. If needed, a rounding will be applied to the
invoice.
===============
When editing a draft invoice, open the *Other Info* tab, go to the
*Accounting Information* section, and select the appropriate *Cash
Rounding Method*.
