Number Formats and Fractional Cents

[David R. <dr...@su...>]

Hello everyone,

Two Questions Today:
1. I have a question today about how to change number formats for purchase 
orders, vendor invoices, and stock valuations....

I have many items that are purchased in fractions of cents, that is

6000 FT @ $ 0.06125

sql-ledger rounds the numbers off, which of course produces a significant 
error.

How can I change the number format such that fractional cents are allowed?


2. Does anyone have a simple solution for unit conversions between purchased 
units and stocked units???

I have an application where we buy an epoxy in 1 EA cartridge, but consume it 
on assemblies in a smaller unit (i.e Grams) - that is 1 cartridge can build 
500 units but if I put 1 EA on the assembly BOM, I'll be up to my ears in the 
stuff!!

Of course this problem might go away with the solution to the first problem 
if I can put a fractional item into an assembly, i.e.  (0.001 EA)


Thanks
