Increasing Billing Period Rounding Precision When Calculating Prorated Fees

Original Publishing Date:

When calculating prorated fees, by default, billing period duration is rounded using 2-digit precision.

To increase calculation accuracy, you can increase the rounding precision (starting from Odin Automation 8.2 HOTFIX 134469 PLATFORM v7). To do this:

Connect to the Billing Application node using SSH as root.
Open the global configuration file for editing:
```
/usr/local/bm/etc/ssm.conf.d/global.conf
```
In the 'environment' section, add a new variable with the name 'DURATION_PRECISION' and set its value to any number from 2 to 8.
Restart Billing using the following command:
```
/etc/init.d/pba restart
```

As a result, all new calculations in order details, deliver lines, and reseller transactions will be done with the updated precision.
