Amount Decimal Places Field, Currency Table
Specifies the number of decimal places the program will display (for example, on invoices and in reports) for amounts in this currency. The default setting, 2:2, specifies that amounts in foreign currencies 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 progam will use the contents of the Amount Decimal Places field to show the amounts 768.963243 and 125 in the specified currencies:
| Contents of Amount Decimal Places Field | Amount shown in Program |
|---|---|
2 |
768.96 125.00 |
2:4 |
768.9632 125.00 |
0 |
769 125 |
0:5 |
768.96324 125 |
In this table, 2:4 denotes that a minimum of two decimal places and a maximum of four decimal places will be shown for amounts in DKK. For Italian lira (ITL), the program will show whole amounts (with no decimal places).
This field determines only how amounts in this currency are shown in the program. You can define rules for rounding amounts in foreign currency in the Amount Rounding Precision field.
Note
This field determines the number of decimal places used to display amounts in this currency 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.
