Hello Devs, Ofbiz places a restriction on saving more than 3 decimal places in price related entity-fields. But there can be a number of use cases where a user needs to store more than 2 or 3 decimal places in the currency related entity-fields.
I even saw some discussions related to this but didn't found any conclusions from them. Even one issue <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-494> has been created but for limited fields. So, I would like to propose support for multiple or more than 2/3 decimals in price related fields. Following are some findings related to the currency fields which would be helpful to examine the requirement: Ofbiz uses two field types to store the currency related entity-fields. These two types are 'currency-amount' and 'currency-precise' with their respective types being NUMBER(18,2) and NUMBER(18,3). Upon initial research, one can conclude that changing the field definitions of 'currency-amount' and 'currency-precise' would achieve the requirement. But doing so will raise following questions which need to be answered. Feel free to add in them. - What would be the precise value of precision(number of decimals)? - Will these changes can make the system inconsistent? In addition, I would like to know the significance of having two separate field types, i.e. 'currency-amount' and 'currency-precise'. Also, I have marked one improvement which will be needed to realize the solution. There are multiple occurrences where hardcoded scaling of 2 has been set to either display or store a currency field. This needs to be changed and must be set dynamically. I'd like to hear your thoughts. Thanks, *Chinmay Patidar*
