Amount Decimal Places Field, General Ledger Setup Table
Determines the number of decimal places the program will display (for example, on invoices and in reports) for amounts in LCY. The default setting, 2:2, specifies that amounts in LCY will be shown with two decimal places.
In this field, the number of decimal places can be specified as:
a fixed number.
a minimum and maximum number (separated by a colon).
The following table shows how the program will use the contents of the Amount Decimal Places field to show the amounts LCY 768.963243 and LCY 125:
| Contents of Amount Decimal Places Field | AmountShown in Program |
|---|---|
2 |
768.96 |
2:2 |
768.96 |
2:4 |
768.9632 |
0 |
769 |
0:5 |
768.96324 |
In this table, 2:4 denotes that a minimum of two decimal places and a maximum of four decimal places will be shown for LCY amounts.
This field determines only how LCY amounts are shown in the program. The Amount Decimal Places field in the Currencies window determines how amounts in foreign currencies are shown in the program.
You can define rules for rounding invoice amounts in the Inv. Rounding Precision (LCY) field, and you can define how unit amounts in LCY are shown in the program in the Unit-Amount Decimal Places field.
Note
This field determines the number of decimal places used to display amounts in LCY for all transactions created in Microsoft Dynamics NAV, whether in the general journal, sales, or purchases, and so on. This is to avoid discrepancies and inconsistencies between amounts.
This feature will be activated the next time you log on to Microsoft Dynamics NAV.
