Yes, I sorta covered this earlier, but I'll show detail. On the invoice
you have something like this:
Login Description Cost Quantity Item Total
------ ----------- ----- -------- ----------
daler PPP Dialup 16.67 12 200.04
Now, if we careied out the decimals in the background (like 278 did) and
then calc the total, you would get something like:
Login Description Cost Quantity Item Total
------ ----------- ----- -------- ----------
daler PPP Dialup 16.66 12 200.00
Which, while the item total is more appealing, is NOT correct.
> So in the case above, the normal monthly rate could really be $20.000000 and

I suppose an alternate display it this way:
Login Description Cost Quantity Discount Item Total
------ ----------- ----- -------- -------- ----------
daler PPP Dialup 25.00 12 33.3333 200.00
Although the discount isn't appealing in that format. :( I
just have to make sure that the numbers on the invoice actual
come out when your customer is doing the math.
