Documentation

Definition

Number of decimal places which are to form the basis of selection for the fields:

• Amount in local currency
• Amount in document currency.

If you specify a number here, the selections entered are passed on to the database which helps to reduce the response time considerably.

However, since amounts such as 400 Lire and 400 USD are stored differently in the database,

• Entry: 400 ITL, database: 400 (without decimal places)
• Entry: 400 USD, database: 40000 (with 2 decimal places)

you must specify here which amounts you want to find when you enter the search term "400":

• If you specify "2" as the number, the 400 USD will be found
• If you specify "0" as the number, the 400 ITL will be found.

You should therefore maintain this number of decimal places if you are typically searching for amounts in currencies with the same number of decimal places (normally 2).
