Rounding Rules

When you resolve an element that is a numerical value, you often need to round the resulting value. You'll use rounding rules to do this.

After you define a rounding rule element, apply it to other elements. The rounding rule can be applied to any component of an earning or deduction, to the resolved amount of an earning or deduction, or within a formula.
