Decimal Places

Set decimal places to read up to 9 digits long.

When you process transactions into your books, the system will retain the original decimal places you specified.

Debtors Decimal Affects General Ledger, Debtors and Job costing Modules
Creditors Decimal This will set the viewing of the decimal place only for the Creditors Module (CM = Creditors Module).
Inventory Decimal This will set the viewing of the decimal place only for the Inventory Module (IM = Inventory Module).

The viewing of decimal places is rounded up.  Example 50.855 – if the decimal ends with a 5 and you are viewing 2 decimals then the figure will be 50.86.
The package balances up to 9 decimal places accurate, which means should your trial balance may seem out of balance, change your decimal places to view more decimals and rerun the report.
