Speak to your partner, this is probably the know issue in the Indian Navision with Sales Tax calculations, or it could be a bad mod written by them.

Yes, indeedy. Looks like some programmer needs to read the Goldberg paper.

Hmm, 20 years old next March and still very relevant.

One line summary: Using floating point numbers is never perfectly accurate; even without a Pentium.

Which part do you need further explanation of?
You obviously have calc that is not rounding properly. If this was a mod you need to contact the person and/or company that created the mod.
