# Overview

Frameworks allows you to print, email or fax stationery including statements, invoices, quotes, orders and cash sales.

> ℹ️ For Point of Sale, star dockets will round to two decimal places regardless of the UOM decimal place setting for the displayed product. However, the calculation for the Line Price uses the correct number of decimal places as defined by the UOM. Depending on the UOM, the quantity and the number of decimal places of the product's Unit Price, for some star dockets, the Line Price may show a rounding difference if you calculate these figures manually based on the displayed Unit Price.
