Permit More than One Document Type per Series

Certain country regulations permit document numbering series that contain more than one document type. All of these documents are part of the same numbering series. Select this option if these regulations are relevant for the company. This setting determines the settings that are displayed in certain Document Numbering windows, and cannot be changed after it has been selected.

Manage Freight in Documents

Select to add a Freight field in all sales and purchasing documents. This field lets you calculate additional costs connected to a document, such as delivery charges and deposit tax.

Decimal Places (0...6)

Define the number of decimal places displayed for amounts, prices, exchange rates, quantities, percentages, units, and calculated values in queries.

For all of the decimal settings, except for calculated values in queries, the following applies:

  • If no journal entry has been posted, you can increase or decrease the number of decimal places.

  • After a journal entry has been posted, you can only increase the number of decimal places, up to 6 digits. This change is irreversible. Decreasing the number of decimal places after a journal entry has been posted is impossible.

Note Note

The decimal places definition affects the calculations in SAP Business One, and the values that are saved in the database. For example, if you choose 2 decimal places for amounts and you work with 6 decimal places for very small prices and quantities, totals might be not accurate.
