Applies to Product – Dynamics 365 Finance


What’s happening?
Customer requires extending the quantity field precision to 3 decimal places for a specific legal entity in Dynamics 365 Finance.


Reason:
The default system setting in Dynamics 365 Finance allows only 2 decimal places for quantity fields. This limitation is a system-wide setting and not specific to any single legal entity.


Resolution:
The default system configuration in Dynamics 365 Finance does not support extending decimal precision beyond 2 decimal places for quantity fields. To achieve the requirement of using 3 decimal places, customization is necessary.
The recommended approach is as follows:

  1. Engage your development team to implement a customization tailored specifically to your requirement.
  2. Refer to the official Microsoft documentation for guidance on extending decimal point precision:

  6. Be aware that this customization will affect all legal entities, as it is a system-wide modification and cannot be limited to a single legal entity.
  7. If further assistance or additional customization is required, consider submitting an extensibility request through the following resources:
