Unit Price after Discount/Rounding

Question

For sales documents, we are currently using the Discount% column to include additional fees to an item's unit price. Ex: sales price list u/p of $0.60 * Discount of -5% = billed u/p of $0.63 (Price after Discount includes $0.03 hub fee). We have this setup as we are calculating commission based on the price list u/p. The above example rounds nicely, but the problem comes about when the figures are not even. For example an item with list price of 4.54 must be billed at 4.65. The resulting discount% is -2.4229074... Although rounding will show the correct u/p of 4.65, the row/doc total calculations will be carried out at 4.649999... For high volume orders, this will create a noticeable price discrepency. Is there a way to enter the Price after Discount field manually? Thank you.

Hi Allen,
Check in:
Administration -> System Initialization -> Document Settings -> Generla Tab:
'Calculate Row Total Using Unit Price'.
If this box is checked in 2005 the field 'Price after Discount' will not be active even if it is set as active in the Form Settings of the document.
In 2007 for a database that was created in 2007 this field cannot be activated as far as I know.
From what I remember a db that has been upgraded from 2005 to 2007 this field can still be activated.
I hope it helps.
