- Keep extra decimals for baggage, postage, supplement, or product-weight thresholds until the final display step.
- Do not mix mass labels from different systems in the same spreadsheet column without a clear target unit.
- Use the reverse direction when the source value is already in Kilograms (kg) so rounding does not compound.
