Clarification on ''Decimal Precision''

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 6
Hi Everyone,
 
I am looking for a clarity on ''Decimal precision'' that is available in the ''units'' and I am working on quantity field in the purchase orders, especially when the value of decimal precision is 4. 
 
I understand this functionality on how the decimal precision value of 0 and 2 are working but when its 4 I don't get the exact output. Kindly check the below example and share me your thoughts on 4 decimal precisions.
 
Is there any limitation that is provided by Microsoft on this decimal precision? or how does it work if the value is more than 2 in decimal precision? 
 
For example,
0 decimal precision - 1.4578 > 1.00
2 decimal precision - 1.4578 > 1.46
4 decimal precision - 1.4578 > 1.4578 (In this case the system is showing the value in qty as 1.46) 
 
Note: Currently in the environment we have the ''Quantity'' field with just 2 decimal places. 
 
I would appreciate if you can provide any Microsoft documentation links or practical insights that gives a detailed information.
 
Regards,
Vijitha P
