My client purchases inventory items and sundry items. They cost out to 4 decimals for both, and this is how the "Decimal Places in unit cost" field is set in Company Profile. Also, the setting in Company Profile "Update IC most recent cost" is set to Net Item Cost.

When they enter a PO, the Unit Cost field displays and calculates out to 4 decimals, but the system populates this field rounded to 2 decimals, so they have to replace the last two zeroes with the proper third and fourth decimals..

The unit cost fields in the item and sundry item entry screens show only 2 decimals. I assume this is where the PO is pulling from and this is the source of the problem.

What am I doing wrong?

HI Steve,

Sorry for the delay in responding.

For Sundry Items, the unit cost will always be 2 decimals. There is a wishlist item to change this on a future release.

For Inventory items, you can enable the Profile option: Use IC alternative price list. In IC, you can import alternate item with 4 decimals for Markup cost.

PurchaseOrders also has an option for Update price list cost amount. If you use this option, the Markup cost on the alternate price list item will be updated. However, it is calculated from the extended cost for the item and that may not be to 4 decimals.

Thanks for the response, no matter how delayed.

I think you should reserve the term "wishlist item" for requests to add more functionality. I don't like when you use it to describe correcting (not "changing" which is the word you euphemistically used) a function, even if that is how it has always been.

But the important thing is that it get fixed, although I understand that you have more pressing projects.

Steve
