WERK8 rounds to 2 decimal places.

Bexio is configurable and can, if the user specifies, round to more than 2 decimal places.

If this happens, the sums that apear in Bexio are different than in WERK8.

Since 2020, Swiss bookeeping has been limited to 2 decimal places.

Bexio specify that all interfaces round to 2 decimal places, which, if the settings in Bexio round to more than 2 decimal places, means that the numbers won't match exactly.

This is what Bexio say:
The update on 4 March 2020 will limit bookkeeping to two decimal places. You can find out more about the result of this change and to which financial years it will be applied in our support article entitled "From 6 decimal places to 2 decimal places"..

The easiest way to find out whether your current financial year has been converted to two decimal places is to click on the "Filter" icon under "Accounting" → "Reports" → "Profit and Loss Statement" and select the financial year in the top left-hand corner.

If you see the option "Number of decimal places", the financial year is still maintained with six decimal places. If this option is not available, the selected financial year is maintained with two decimal places.

If you are in a fiscal year that is maintained to two decimal places, the VAT accounts are also balanced to two decimal places.

Should this not be the case, please set the filter for the VAT accounts to six decimal places in the account sheet and balance the accounts accordingly.
