I have Items that should be using 5 or more decimal places. I cannot find where the precision is set for Items and currencies.

If there is a place where these can be set, please let me know..

    Decimal precision is defined on the unit of measure assigned to an item.  Note that the application is designed to only show 2 decimals of precision, so setting a unit of measure to 5 decimals, you'll only ever see 2 decimals as a user.  If you need to transact against items at 5 decimals of precision, you likely need a smaller inventory unit of measure assigned to your items.   Your inventory unit of measure should always be the smallest unit you will ever transact in, everything else can be a conversion.

    If you do go the route of 5 decimals, you're likely going to be doing modifications to the software to display 5 decimals and thats not a fun mod.

    If precision is set to 5 positions, and populated using all 5 positions, will calculations using those values be stored at the 5 positions?

    The challenge is I may have an item that is priced at $ 0.00008. If I sell 10,000 units will the price extend to 0.8 or will the values populated beyond 2 positions get lost in rounding to the two positions that are displayed?

    I am fine if the sales price is displayed at 0.00 as long as the remaining position values can be viewed somewhere and are available for calculations.
