Why are some Exchange Rates rounding to 5 decimals?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Accounting Department 1,552

A user brought to my attention that the Exchange Rates are rounding to 5 decimals.  I tested this and entered 1.1111111 and then it saved as 1.1111100.

Looking back at historical rates, they're all rounded except for one of the tables. 

It doesn't appear that this is anything new, but curious to learn if anyone knows why it is rounding?

    Hi Barb,

    Exchange rates are stored in the MC00100 table in the DYNAMICS database, and GP allow users to enter/save exchange rates with up to 7 decimal places.

    We don’t have any known quality issues around those rates being truncated or rounded to 5 decimals in that table.

    I double checked and tested this on the most recent version of GP, and my rate with 7 decimal places saved without a problem.

    I was also able to enter/post a transaction with that rate, and it was stored with 7 decimal places in the GL20000 table.

    Here’s my Journal Entry Inquiry window showing the rate with 7 decimal places:

    With that being said, if you are looking at exchange rates in a core GP smart list, the exchange rate field is restricted to 5 decimal places in those canned lists as the field is formatted with a ‘currency’ format out of the box that allows up to five decimals to show.

    If your rates are being rounded in the MC00100 table, I’d check into whether any 3rd parties/customizations are being used in conjunction with exchange rates to see if something may be coming into play there.

    I hope this helps!
