How to Set the Cash Rounding in Odoo 17 POS

Functional Odoo 17

Cash rounding is a financial practice that comes into play when the smallest physical denomination of currency exceeds the minimum unit of account. In simpler terms, it's about adjusting transaction totals to align with the practicality of currency denominations.

In numerous countries, regulations mandate rounding up or down the invoice's total amount to the nearest currency denomination, particularly when dealing with cash. For instance, if a transaction totals $10.43, it might be rounded down to $10.40 or up to $10.45, depending on the currency's smallest coin.

Configuring Cash Rounding in Odoo 17 Point of Sale

Fortunately, Odoo 17 Point of Sale simplifies the implementation of cash rounding, offering flexibility and ease of use for businesses. Here's how you can set it up:

To enable Cash Rounding, first navigate to Point of Sale, then proceed to Configuration and Settings. Once there, locate the Cash Rounding option and toggle it on. It is crucial to ensure that your changes are saved before exiting the settings menu.

Fill in the 'Name' field in the form view with the name of the new cash rounding procedure. Using the 'Rounding Precision' argument, you can specify the smallest non-zero currency value. In the "Rounding Strategy " section. 

Define the methodology to be employed for rounding the invoice amount to the specified accuracy in the "Rounding Strategy" section. Options encompass adjusting the tax amount or appending a rounding line. When including a rounding line, ensure to designate the 'Profit Account' and 'Loss Account' in the respective fields. For the "Rounding Method," there are three options:

  • * UP: Under the "Up" approach, the outcome will be rounded towards positive infinity, adhering to the designated rounding precision.
  • * Down: Utilizing the Down technique will result in rounding off the result in the direction of negative infinity based on the rounding accuracy.
  • * HALF-UP: The third alternative, known as the "Half-Up" strategy, is quite successful, particularly when working with fractional values. Values with fractional components less than 0.5 will be rounded down. Otherwise, rounding up will occur.

After configuring the necessary settings, save the Cash Rounding method. Subsequently, proceed to verify the functionality of defining the smallest denomination of a currency within the Odoo 17 Accounting Module.
