EUROPEAN UNION

[amrak1]

I have a lot of questions, I hope you are not angry about it and once more I have to excuse for my not so good english.

My beloved country Slovenia entered European Union about 2 years ago. Next year we will have to have both currencies on invoice we give to customers, because next year we are entering a period of taking over an EURO as our only currency.

Is this program able to show at TOTAL two amounts in EUR and SIT?

Thnx, Borut

amrak1,

Well the good news is that when you convert to Euros that will solve the problem you are having with the decimals. Also the program will allow you to accept payments in your current currency and euros at the same time and will do the conversion of one currency into another.

When you are accepting both currencies which one will you be using to calculate your sales?

If you calculate your sales in one currency and pay in the other then the total paid in the other currency will be printed on the receipt along with the total in the regular currency. However if the sales are calculated and paid in the same currency then only that currency will be printed on the receipt.

This image shows that even if you change the currency input mask, you still can enter only 5 decimals, but in my case once more there is a problem whit a weak currency. Look, 1 SIT (default) is 0,00416666666666667 EUR --> 1 EUR = 240 SIT.

I hope I haven't complicated a lot but final calculation is not so good. Can I change this settings?

Thanks a lot for answer

amrak1,

Actually if you count the dashes to the right of the decimal point you can enter 6 decimal places.

The print field for Euros should have the decimal point in the 3rd position from the right, i.e. ########.## That way if you ring up a sale for 100000.00 SIT the Euro amount will be printed as 416.70

In the example above of 100000.00 SIT = 416.70 EUR that was the calculation that the POS program made here when I set it up program to the conversion rate that you posted, i.e, .004167. When I used a 12 digit calculator to calculate the rate it came up with 100000.00 SIT = 416.67 EUR or an error of .03. Unfortunatly when using floating point math in the language that I used to write the program that is about as close as it is going to get even if you were able to enter 7 decimals in the conversion rate. Strange things happen when the numbers get really small.

A .03 error on a sale of 416.67 is a an error of .007% and that is pretty close for a rounding error.
