<p>The Acquisitions Interest Group decided at the Evergreen Conference in April 2016 to try a new form of member engagement. Rather than holding quarterly meetings on irc each month an acquisitions bug will be featured in an email to this list. This will bring more exposure to some of the acquisitions bugs that have a large impact on acquisitions libraries and their workflows and allow acquisitions staff to engage as time permits, rather than at a specified time.<br>
<br>
Get involved by testing your system for the bug, indicating on Launchpad if you're affected by the bug, and commenting on Launchpad or through the list if you have further information about the bug or suggestions about what you'd like to see in a fix.<br>

<strong>Acquisitions Interest Group Bug of the Month - February 2017</strong><br>
<br>
<strong>Bug</strong> - Acq - Totals in funds do not round to two decimal places when prorating is used<br>

<br>
<strong>Description of Bug</strong><br>
<br>
In the acquisitions module you can prorate charges on an invoice. Prorating divides the charge amongst all the funds used on the invoice based on the portion of the invoice that will be paid by a particular fund. When this division is done Evergreen rounds to 8 decimal points rather than the 2 customary when working with money.<br>
<br>
Rounding to 8 decimal points causes messy and confusing displays on invoices, and in the Fund and Funding Source interfaces.<br>
<br>
<strong>Evergreen Version(s)</strong><br>
<br>
Evergreen 2.2 through 2.11<br>
<br>
<strong>Desired Resolution / Fix</strong><br>
<br>
For acquisitions Evergreen should use math that recognizes that money should be rounded to 2 decimal points.<br>
