Definition

This field defines the maximum number of decimal places shown in the report, taking into account the respective scaling factor. The system prints only the required decimal places for currencies for which the total of currency-specific decimal places and scaling factor is less than the defined maximum.

You can define up to six different decimal formats in one report using the format groups.

Examples:

• No. of decimal places = 3
  Scaling factor = 0
  Currency = USD (2 decimal places)
  Amount = 100.24 USD
  List output = 100.24
• No. of decimal places = 1
  Scaling factor = 0
  Currency = USD (2 decimal places)
  Amount = 100.24 USD
  List output = 100.2
• No. of decimal places = 6
  Scaling factor = 3
  Currency = USD (2 decimal places)
  Amount = 100.24 USD
  List output = 0.10024
• No. of decimal places = 4
  Scaling factor = 3
  Currency = USD (2 decimal places)
  Amount = 100.24 USD
  List output = 0.1002
