Exchange rate decimal precision

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Member

Hi all

Does anyone know exactly how exchange rate decimal precision is managed?

In our General Ledger Setup, the Unit-Amount Decimal Places field is set as "2:5"

In our Currency Exchange Rate table, the rates are at 6 decimal places.

We are using codeunit 1281 in our Job Queue, to call the Float Rate service.

Is there a config setting I have missed that is calling the rates at 6 decimal places?

Thanks!

    Not sure if i understand exactly what you are asking for.

    But you can set the number of decimals in the Currency table.

    Normally fields in BC is not stored with more that 5 decimals. So at some point decimal will be rounded to max 5 decimals at some point.

    And when you use more than 6 decimals in your currency exchange rates. Most monetary numbers will be rounded to 2 decimals at some point.
