Why Precise Billing Matters

For businesses like restaurants, grocery stores, salons, and retail shops, pricing precision is crucial — especially in countries with decimal-based currencies or local rounding rules. Whether you’re adjusting for missing coins, applying minor discounts, or rounding off totals for smoother cash transactions, SalesPlay POS’s Manual Rounding feature gives you full control.

What Is Manual Rounding Feature in SalesPlay POS?

Manual Rounding allows you to adjust the final bill total manually during checkout — either up or down — depending on your need. Unlike automatic rounding, which follows predefined rules, manual rounding gives your cashier or manager the ability to fine-tune the total on the spot.

This is especially useful in scenarios like custom discounts, aligning with printed prices, or complying with currency standards that involve odd decimal places.
