[SQL-Ledger-users] problem & suggestion

[adrian <ad...@sn...>]

My accounts payable has several zero balances showing which are in
reality very small ammounts. The calculations need to rounded to the
neatest cent ( 1/2 cent).

How can I now manually "zero" these accounts?

Adding bank reconcilation is high priority from our pospective.

From an accounting perspective (and mathematical too, I guess ;-) even
small amounts can't "disappear". What you should do is make an account
only for rounding, and move the amounts over there.

Hope I understood your question correctly.

The ammounts are 1.xxxE-13 i.e. very small.

What platform are you running SQL-Ledger on?

Sounds like a BCD module is needed.  Or might be needed.  I checked CPAN
but a search didn't turn anything up for 'BCD' or 'binary coded
decimal'.  Is there another term for this that I missed in the years
between CS 102 and really getting into computers?
