Rounding of benchmark forecasts? #40

Hi,

I have a question about the rounding of the statistical benchmarks.
For example I see that the forecast in the first series for ES_bu is:

[1] 0.9829610 1.1039467 0.9006081 0.9184879 1.0185274 1.3266206
[7] 1.0978010 0.9829610 1.1039467 0.9006081 0.9184879 1.0185274
[13] 1.3266206 1.0978010 0.9829610 1.1039467 0.9006081 0.9184879
[19] 1.0185274 1.3266206 1.0978010 0.9829610 1.1039467 0.9006081
[25] 0.9184879 1.0185274 1.3266206 1.0978010

However, I am not able to find, in the Point Forecasts - Benchmarks.R file, any places where the forecast will be rounded.
I am assuming that in a business context (since it is WalMart data) that we have to round the numbers as we cannot give fractional numbers for planning purposes?
