Re: [WebERP-developers] Is the exchange rate right?

[Ricard A. <pak...@gm...>]

Hi Exson:

I think a long decimal number is needed, the question is "how long?". One
of my modifications to Currencies.php was made to allow the use of more
decimals, up to 8. I would be happy to use even 1 or 2 more, and users in
some countries as well
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Least-valued_currency_unit.

But if your question was to change from type DOUBLE to type DECIMAL and
limiting the number of decimals to 8 or 10, I think it is a wise change.

We detected some errors due to rounding in exchange rate calculation. Try
to sell to a customer in a different currency. Then chek the balance
account for customer's debt and the customer's receivable report, if
translated to functional rate, it's different. Small differences but
differences after all :-)

Just my 0,0000000002 cents.



Regards,
Ricard
