Modify a field Decimal Places

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 216

Greetings to all of you.

My case is pretty much straight forward.

I need , to be able to modify the Decimal Places , on Debit/Credit Amount fields on General Journal lines (table 81).

For example , my customer , wants to be able to post a debit amount of 20,708$. ( They don't want to be posted as 20,71$.

Is there a way i can achieve that? I know for a fact, that you can't modify decimalplaces property, through a tableextension.

Thank you in advance for your time.

With respect,

AK

    Changing this through out the system is a very big task that i think you should avoid doing.  Amounts are stored in a lot of tables all over the system and it also affect reports and pages.

    If this is a requirement from your customer i think you should tell them that BC is not the product for them.

    The cost of developing and maintain such a solution is simply not worth it.

    Hi AntonisK ,

    In that case you have to take help of your development partner, they will allow to enter more decimal places to this field.

    Thanks.
