Compliance Engine Regulatory Limit Rounding Rule Facility Setting specifies how WIMS values are rounded when compared to the Regulatory Limits
The Setting has the following options:
No Rounding: The value is not rounded.
Variable: The value is rounded to the decimal place setting for the variable. If the variable decimal place setting for the variable is set to 'Not Fixed' no rounding will occur.
Limit: The value is rounded to the number of decimal places that the limit is entered to in Regulatory Limits. Example: Limit is entered at 8.5, the value will be rounded to 1 decimal. NOTE: Zeros are used, example limit is entered as 8.0 will be rounded to 1 decimal place, entered at 8 will be rounded to zero decimal places.
Note: Rounding is scientific.
