Examples of How the Decimal Values for Points are Rounded

Rounding of decimal points for a transaction occurs for each individual accrual line item generated by a transaction. For example, if a member’s transaction qualifies for points as a result of two separate promotions, two accrual line items are created. The points assigned for each accrual generated by each promotion are rounded, then the values are combined to determine the total points the member receives. The following are some examples of how rounding occurs where a transaction qualifies for two promotions and where the Points Precision value is set to two, so points are rounded to two decimal points:

  • If a transaction qualifies for two promotions, each of which generate 20.158 transaction points, two accrual line item are created, each with an accrual value of 20.16. The total points assigned to the customer is 40.32 (20.16 plus 20.16 from each of the accrual items).

  • If a transaction qualifies for two promotions, each of which generate 20.987 transaction points, two accrual line items are created, each with an accrual value of 20.99. The total points assigned to the customer is 41.98 (20.99 plus 20.99 from each of the accrual items).
