IMHO OpenERP should consider introducing BCD (binary coded decimal) for
accounting purpose

As it turns out to be necessary to do coded rounding in many places I
doubt that this executes faster than using BCD decimals straigth
forward.

Not to count all the hassle partners have to detect and describe the problem AND to explain this to a customer. 
and yes - I rant ..... as time is (lost) money

Title:
  [trunk] Account Cash (bank) Statement Missing Rounding

Status in OpenERP Server:
  New

Bug description:
  balance_end_cash and balance_end are not using decimal precision and do not round the floats. Then the function _equal_balance doesn't return True.
  For example:
  Transactions : 9.19+24.5+18.87=52.560000000000002
  Cash received : 1*50+1*2+1*0.5+1*0.05+1*0.01=52.559999999999995
  (50+2+.5+.05+.01)==(9.19+24.5+18.87) = False
