Increasing the number of decimal places in amounts in a condition type

[hgonzales]

Hello to all.

I am new to SAP and I am having a problem inserting an amount in VK11. The steps I am following are:

VK11 > *Insert a condition type" > Cost: 5,9999-

The problem I have is: Input only in the form __.___.___.__~,___V (message 00088).

The program only accepts amounts with 3 decimals, and I need to be able to insert 4 decimals in this type of condition type. How can I modify it just for this case?

It's only possible to enter the amount with as many decimals as the database field supports. But let me ask you, with such granularity (4 decimals) how do you plan to actually sell this item? I mean the currencies usually only go as far as 1 cent (or equivalent), so 2 decimals. How would you charge the customer for a fraction of a cent? What's the practical use of such condition?

If this is a price for a tiny item, like a screw or a nail, then those are never sold as 1 piece and, accordingly, pricing conditions should be maintained per 100 units and not per 1 unit.

Basically number of decimals is derived from the currency code, so as jelena.perfiljeva2 already suggested use some 'per how much' factor

NB: With Customizing, you could also define some sub-currency codes with more decimals and a fixed rate of 1, such as an USD4 with 4 decimals.
