Odoo 19 - how does rounding work on Sales Order Lines? The Total isn't the sum of the order line totals

I have a sales order with the following items:

  • Item 1 → Qty: 10.7 → Price: $297.45 → Line Total: $3,182.72
  • Item 2 → Qty: 11.5 → Price: $146.65 → Line Total: $1,686.48
  • Order Total: $4,869.19

When I add the line totals ($3,182.72 + $1,686.48), I get $4,869.20, but the order total shows as $4,869.19. This will cause confusion for customers on invoices and for sales reps when entering orders. Is this a bug from not rounding the line items before calculating the total? I notice the margin shows $4,869.20, so it's correct there but not at the total level. I'm new to Odoo, was this how it worked in previous versions, or is this a bug in version 19?

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the answer, I figured it was something like this. I did learn I could change the accounting tax setting "Rounded Method" to "Round per Line" and it will make it behave in a manner that matches the Order Total to the Total of the Extend lines that show. Not sure if this is the solution, but I did make the totals match as expected. We are still learning, so thanks for the help!

Any Customer who is using a "good" system to enter the order into THEIR sofware will likely ask you why you are charging them more than you should be, since their system will probably use the more accurate method.

Unless legally required NOT TO, you should always perform all calculations with full precision and only round the very last number that the Customer has to pay.

There are two different methods for arriving at the total amount, one rounds the lines then adds, the other adds the unrounded totals, then rounds.

The margin is actually using the less accurate method, the Sales Order total is more accurate:

Line 1 (unrounded): 10.7 × 297.45 = $3,182.715

Line 2 (unrounded): 11.5 × 146.65 = $1,686.475

Total: $3,182.715 + $1,686.475 = $4,869.19

Odoo is using this more accurate method to avoid "rounding-on-rounding" errors.   This method is standard practice in financial software because it is more accurate.
