AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
In NetSuite, rounding can be specified to a certain number of decimal places using the
ROUND (n, integer)
function. However, this is only applicable for saved searches and cannot be applied system-wide. When dealing with rounding errors in SuiteScripts, particularly when saving decimal numbers with 2 or 3 digits after the decimal point, it's important to ensure that the values being set are correctly parsed. For example, when setting the 'total' and 'taxtotal' fields, you might want to parse the values as floats to ensure accurate calculations. Here's an example:
Copy code
javascript
const total = parseFloat(salesTaxAmount) + parseFloat(totalPrice);
transactionRecord.setValue({ fieldId: 'total', value: total });
transactionRecord.setValue({ fieldId: 'taxtotal', value: parseFloat(salesTaxAmount) });
In terms of tax calculations, NetSuite rounds off at the order level, which can sometimes result in discrepancies when compared to systems that round off at the line/item level, such as Salesforce. Unfortunately, there's no built-in configuration in NetSuite to change this behavior. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
