Effective May 1, 2025, Lithuania introduced mandatory rounding rules for cash transactions to reduce the use of low-denomination coins (1 and 2 euro cents). In response to this legal change, SabeeApp now supports automatic roundingfor applicable invoices and payments.
What’s Changing?
When issuing cash payments in EUR and the provider country is Lithuania, SabeeApp will automatically:
- Round the total amount to the nearest 0 or 5 cents (e.g., €45.02 → €45.00 or €23.03 → €23.05).
- Apply this rounding both to invoices and payments.
Low-value coins are still legal tender, but businesses must ensure that customers can complete payments without them.
How It Works in SabeeApp
Conditions That Trigger Rounding
Rounding will be applied when all three of the following conditions are met:
- General Settings / Company settings/ Country = Lithuania
- Currency = EUR
- Payment method = Cash
When these criteria are met, SabeeApp automatically rounds the total to the nearest accepted denomination (xx.00 or xx.05).
Invoice Handling
- A system-generated correction item will be added to the folio to reflect the rounding difference.
- The invoice will include a note showing the original total before rounding.
- This ensures accuracy in the amount due, payment status, and financial reports.

Payment Handling
- When entering a cash payment, the amount is rounded automatically after clicking out of the input field.

Folio and Rounding Items
- A rounding item is displayed on the folio to clearly indicate the rounding adjustment.
Example – Rounding Item on Folio:
- If the related invoice is cancelled, the rounding item is automatically removed.

User Impact
This process is fully automated. Users do not need to manually adjust invoice totals or calculate rounding differences. The system ensures compliance with local regulations and provides transparency across invoices, folios, and reports.
Backward Compatibility
For invoices or payments created before this update:
- Mismatches may occur if rounded and non-rounded entries are combined (between the total invoice amount and the recorded payment)
- To resolve this, users can:
- Remove and re-add payments to match rounded totals.
- Use the "Clear balance" option.
- Manually add a correction service item for the difference.
- Void and reissue the invoice, if needed.
- Special attention may be required when dealing with different default currencies.
