  WebSphere Commerce users using promotions.
  
  PROBLEM ABSTRACT:

Problem conclusion

• With the fix, the rounding errors are correctly adjusted for the
  different items resulting in expected overall discount in the
  storefront. In addition, a new rounding method of 'F' (Floor) is
  introduced in the CURFORMAT table to ensure that the rounded
  discounts always favor the shopper by rounding towards negative
  infinity. For example, if rounding -1.1 to one digit, the result
  will be -2.
