Rounding error

I've been testing out the use of A/P accounts. When I make partial payments, the amount paid is prorated over the categories present. It would be nice to have the option to credit the amount to specific categories as the payment may be made for a specific bill. However, the more pressing issue is a rounding error. The original entries were 100.00 for tuition and 150.00 for groceries. I made partial payments, but when the total bill was paid, it shows 99.99 and 150.01 respectively. The total amount paid $300 is correct. There is something amiss in the logic.

I think it would help us get to the bottom of this, if we could also see the actual transactions as you have entered them into the account registers, including any Split Details if a single transaction applies to more than 1 category.

I wouldn't prorate the split transaction. Fill in the actual amounts for each split line.
