You should have zero. I've spent my five hours over this in 1990 (mFoxPlus then), and the crux of the matter is that you shouldn't apply any percentage, coefficient or whatever multiplication to any numbers added - only to each number in turn. If you want to calculate 1% out of 100 numbers, and 1% of their total, it's a safe bet you'll be a few cents off each time, because of the rounding.

Now on each of these numbers you have this commission calculated once - when the document was saved. Save this commission as well, and never calculate it again. Just add the value as it is saved in the commission field, and you'll have zero discrepancy. No such field? Add it.

BTW, for Fox folks here, "memo" is a "memorandum on consignment" and has nothing to do with memo fields.
