Overview
You can change the number of decimal places in BQE CORE for various values and amounts from the Number Formatting panel of the main Settings screen. You can change the number of digits after decimal for rate, units, and HR benefits. The decimal is set to 2 places by default; however, you can change these defaults by specifying your preferred decimal value, say 3 or 4, and not have CORE round it off to 2 decimal places.

User Interface: No. of Digits After Decimal for Rate/Units/Benefits | Number of digits allowed after a decimal for numeric fields like rate, units, and HR benefits. If you select 0, this implies a non-decimal format with no rounding off. If you specify 2, this implies rounding off a value to two decimal places. The only exception is Expenses Entries > Cost Rate where it always shows 4 decimal places. The default value is taken from the regional settings of the computer. This setting affects the decimal values displayed on various screens, reports and invoices. However, all amount fields are kept to 2 places of decimal. No matter what decimal value you select, the client gets charged to only two places of decimal. In addition, any decimal number that ends with 5, rounds up. Example: If you specify 2 as the number of digits after the decimal for rate and then assign a cost rate of 23.677 for mileage, the value that will be displayed as 23.68. However, placing your pointer in the field will reveal the exact cost entered. If you specify 9 as the number of digits after a decimal and then assign a cost rate of 23.6778899 for mileage, it will display the same 23.6778899 in the grid. |
