FMC CG entries

The loadsheet MACTOW or CG position is computed to 1 decimal place but the FMC accepts CG entries only in whole numbers. What do you guys do at your outfit? Round it upward/downward? Any company policy on this, or is it silent?

Rounding it upward, methinks, would ensure the stab position is ever so slightly nose down thereby requiring a positive elevator input for rotation. Reduces any likelihood of the nose rotating prematurely.
