Exchange rate decimal precision

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.
