I'm with you, Conrad, at "hardly suitable for the German market", but it is _not_ a bug, neither are there real rounding errors.
See my post above on vertical and horizontal calculation.
It is all about acceptance.
Most German companies use vertical calculation.
Our own accounting department, which is very experienced, did not know about horizontal accounting before I (then a freelancer) wrote the first invoice with Lexware Büro easy. Neither did my tax consultant.
The company actually recalculated vertical and payed some cents less, which would have resulted in a (small) tax felony... (but I booked it as discount).
We use 19% here, so the calculation type rounding issues are not as obvious as with Ferdinands 10%, but customers *will* notice and wonder about it.
So, if there already is a feedback poll?, we would be glad to support it. Or open one.
Regards,
Marco
