Managing sales prices with 8 decimal places beyond the 6-decimal platform limit

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 385

Hello everyone, I’m looking for advice or real-life experiences regarding price precision beyond 6 decimals in Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations

The customer operates in the a sector, where pricing precision is critical due to very low unit prices (e.g. per kg / m³)

According to Microsoft documentation and our own tests, prices and amounts are technically limited to a maximum of 6 decimals, and any attempt to go beyond that is truncated at database level. That said, we tried several approaches to see if there was any supported or semi-supported workaround. Below is a summary of what we tested so far. Extending or replacing EDTs does not allow storing prices with more than 6 decimals. The limitation is enforced by the platform/runtime, not just metadata

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/fin-ops-core/dev-itpro/extensibility/decimal-point-precision#unit-amounts

The only technically compatible workaround so far is to keep prices within the supported decimals (4–6) and use  Price Unit / multipliers to achieve higher unit precision

Has anyone successfully managed to handle prices with 8 decimals (or more) in D365 Finance in a different way?

Any supported or unsupported technical approach that actually works end-to-end?
Any experience with deep customizations, calculated prices, or alternative data models?
Or is the 6-decimal limit for prices truly a hard stop in all real scenarios?

Thanks in advance

    Hi Diego,

    I haven't got a requirement for more than 4 decimals myself. When possible, for this scenario, I also used the Price Unit avoiding customizations.
    E.g. instead of 0.0358 a price of 35.80 per 1000 was configured.
