Hi All,

I need to change the decimal places on the Qty field for items all over BC to accept 6 decimals instead of 5, is there a way similar to AX where you can simply adjust the extended data type or any equivalent method to achieve this?

Thank you

Thank you Franz, this applies for amounts only right?

I need the Qty in inventory journals to have 6 decimal places, how can I achieve that?

I don't think you can change the decimal places in quantity by standard.

You can do customization, but you need to do it in a lot of places.

Try to change the Unit of Measure, for example from meter to millimeter, so you don't need that many decimals.

Out of the box - this would be done by the Rounding Precision in Item card, but the limit here is 5 decimal places.
So if You need 6 - that can be done by customization only.

But there are so many places in the system you will need to modify this that you should try to avoid it.

I liked what Teddy suggested here - work with the unit of measures instead.
