Penny Rounding with Altru
Hi all,
From what I can tell Altru does not have a fix for penny rounding (please correct me if I'm mistaken). As we are running out of pennies and can no longer get them from our bank, I am wondering how other museums with Altru are handling/planning to handle moving forward with reconciling Daily Sales? This will effect our museum store transactions as ticketing and membership fees are round numbers.
Any feedback would be appreciated!
