The settings in this section in Eiglobalextra.ini determine how line item validations are performed.

• The absolute validations deal with specific amounts. Using the absolute validations, you can accept values that are plus or minus an absolute amount, such as $ 0.25.
• The relative validations deal with percentages. Using the relative validations, you can accept values that are plus or minus a certain percentage such as 0.50 (50%).

If you use both absolute and relative validations, ReadSoft Invoices uses the more precise (narrow) validation to determine whether or not the item passes validation. Consider the following example:

You set LineItemRowTotalAbsoluteTolerance to $ 0.25 and LineItemRowTotalRelativeTolerance to 0.05.

If the calculated line item row total is $10.00, the absolute validation accepts any interpreted value from $9.75 to $10.25, whereas the relative validation accepts values from $9.50 to $10.50. So in this case, ReadSoft Invoices would use the absolute validation, which is more precise. If the interpreted value falls outside the range, $9.75 - $10.25, the validation fails.
