In Official Gazette No. 41,460 of Tuesday, August 14, 2018 resolution 18-07-02 was published containing 10 chapters that dictate the rules governing the monetary reconversion process.

Chapter 2 related to the restatement and rounding, establishes that in any fraction resulting from the restatement whose third decimal is equal to or greater than five (5), the second decimal will be raised by one unit, whereas when the third decimal of the restated quantity is less than five (5), the second decimal will remain the same; and said rounding shall be applied once only so that the individual price or value of the goods and services, as well as other restated monetary amounts, are carried to two (2) decimals.
Except as provided for in article 4, when the result of the division between one hundred thousand (100,000) results in a number whose whole part is equal to zero (0) and the decimal part is less than one (1) hundredth, the price unit shall be rounded to one (1) cent.

In the case of those products whose quantity can be fractional, the rounding will be applied to the result of multiplying the quantity of the product by its unit price.
