Setting the Decimal Places of Key Figures 

 

To change the number of decimal places of key figure values in the planning table:

  1. Place your cursor on the key figure and characteristic value whose number of decimal places you want to change.
  2. Choose Settings ® Places after point.

    3. A dialog box appears.

  3. In the field No. places after pt., enter or change the number of decimal places of the chosen key figure. This key figure is displayed in the field to the left.
  4. To confirm the use of these settings and return to the planning table, choose ENTER .

The specified number of decimal places is now displayed for that key figure and characteristic value.

The number of decimal places saved on the database is determined by the Global Settings made in Customizing for that unit (unit of measure or currency unit). If no entry has been made in Customizing, the number of decimal places saved for this key figure and characteristic value is the number of decimal places shown in the planning table at the time of saving. If the key figure has no displayable unit (for example, if it is a percentage), all the decimal places are saved.

To cut off any decimal places in excess of the specified number, set the indicator Fix places after pt. You thereby lose the decimal places in excess of those you have fixed.
