The 1 cent problem is usually a result of a percentage that gets
calculated over an annual period. What was happening is that the
total of the each line item was one cent off from the total on the
invoice. When you pay an invoice, Emerald totals the line items,
which is 1 penny off from the invoice total (and the customer's
balance was on the invoice total). We fixed this "rounding"
problem, which caused headaches to some people who were using
the "problem" to get their bills to where they wanted (not
realizing the numbers where not adding up).
