Currency Decimal Placement in Inventory

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 3,530

Hi:

This is the beginning of the implementation of the Inventory module, so no item-based transactions have been conducted. 

Other types of transactions, such as those of A/P, have been entered and posted.

As I was manually entering the Unit Cost of the few Inventory items, I noticed that one of the Unit Costs to be entered is of four decimal places instead of two.

And, another item is of three decimal places instead of two.

How do I enter Unit Costs that are not of two decimal places?

Thanks!

John

    You can enter up to 5 decimal in the item cost field. But by default the system will round to 2 decimal places.

    You can also adjust the number of decimal places in the general ledger setup if needed.

    If you want the item card to display more than 2 decimals you will have to do a customization.

    Does your local currency require more than 2 decimals?

    Hi:

    I'm confused.

    The Item Card Unit Cost field is letting me enter only two decimal places.  Do I need to go to General Ledger Setup to change to three or four?

    If so, what are the ramifications of doing that?

    What can be done with the least ramifications?  :)
