I run a youth centre and have all my products in inventory including taxes. I have POS set to have tax included. I just upgraded from version 6.20a to 6.31 and in the new version something has gone weird with the calculations.
For example: In my inventory, I have a can of coke set at $1.00 and the tax rate for it is 7%. With 6.20a it would calculate correctly and charge $0.93 and $0.07 tax and come up with $1.00. With the new version, it comes up with $0.92 and $0.07 for a total of $0.99 instead of the $1.00 that is stored in the inventory.
I've tried playing with the partial cent amount in the tax area, but cannot seem to get it to end up with the amount that I entered that I want the total to be.
I changed my entire inventory over to be included tax because I hated having to use the round on each transaction, especially those that had multiple items. With 6.20a it was working wonderfully, but now I appear to be back to that point where I have to round again.
Did I do something wrong in the upgrade?

Multiples seem to be ok
I seem to be experiencing the same. If you do multiple quantities, it seems to be ok, just certain single items are the problem.
So where do we go from here?

Thanks
Just wanted to make sure now that we've determined there was a problem, that it was going to get into the right hands.
Thanks
Dale, thanks for an awesome product and all the work you do to keep us all in POS.

Dale, I know this is a bit picky, but no matter whatever fraction of a penny is used, it still stays the same tax.
by definition, the tax should not be more than 10% tax (australia)
or 1/11 of the price.
If something is say 6 cents (eg a little light emitting diode), then 1/11th of that is .545 of a penny. even though my rounding of a penny is set at .99, it still shows up even when its below the level I have set.
If I set my fraction of a penny to .99, the tax should round down as the fraction penny does not success .99
eg:
(sale total, DHPOS tax cal)
qty 3 ($0.18 total, $0.02 tax) = should be $0.01636 tax, round to $0.01
qty 5 ($0.30 total, $0.03 tax) = should be $0.02727 tax, round to $0.02
qty 7 ($0.42 total, $0.04 tax) = should be $0.03818 tax, round to $0.03
qty 9 ($0.54 total, $0.05 tax) = should be $0.04909 tax, round to $0.04
can this rounding of a penny be fixed?
it's strange really.... the odd quantities are the only one's that do it...

Rounding error
I have looked at this and it will be really tough to fix.
Let's see what happens.
