Helmut,
It isn't a matter of using securities on invoices.
The Security Editor is simply where you set the smallest fraction of a
currency. (and thus the number of digits displayed) John is proposing
tying that setting in to be used outside of securities, in this case for
invoices amounts. (so you only set it one place)
But that is a separate issue from Quantity. Chris is working on a
solution for both. (while researching your Quantity issue, I found the
same problem exists for Unit Prices, so they're getting tackled together)
Regards,
Adrien

I'd think amounts on invoices should be in some integer multiple of
the commodity's smallest fraction traded--that's a property of the
commodity that you set in the New/Edit Security dialog--and should

fraction's denominator is a power of 10 or a rational number if not.
Does that seem reasonable?
I'm not sure how securities can be used for invoices. Anyway, in my
case we need to split up some amount of money among seven people
(members of a condominium). So I thought it would be nice to use the
original amount as unit price and 1/7 as quantity.
I think the legally correct way would be to used 143‰ (per mille)
instead of the exact fraction.
Though, I must say that it's a cool feature that GnuCash uses exact
fractions internally. And thanks to everybody who works on this.
