Re: [GNC] Customizing invoices (Helmut Eller

Adrien, Sort of. Yes, quantity is a multiplier of a commodity, but the way the commodity is measured affects what are the legitimate fractions the quantity can use. If you sell something by the kilo and have a scale that's accurate to the gram then the fraction for that commodity is 1/1000. If

Re: [GNC] Customizing invoices (Helmut Eller

John, Sorry I guess I misunderstood your suggestion wrong. What's throwing me off is that setting up a non-currency commodity isn't going to help as I see it. Quantity is not a commodity. It is the multiplier of one. A line-item on an invoice is always some multiplier of a currency. The OPs

Re: [GNC] Customizing invoices (Helmut Eller

Not a currency: Currency smallest fractions are set by law in the currency's issuing country, the ISO4217 committee maintains a list, and GnuCash follows that list. Non-currency commodities are more user-configurable via the Security editor, though you'll make yourself crazy if you set something

Re: [GNC] Customizing invoices (Helmut Eller

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. (s

Thanks to you and Chris for investigating. Hopefully, this will resolve the discrepancy. Regards, Adrien On 3/29/22 10:50 PM, john wrote: Chris has created https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798496 to document working on that.

David, it seems the list-thread is broken, so for completeness, I'm posting there that I filed bug: https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798493 on this issue. This also happens for the Unit Price column. The report should simply print the data from the invoice unchanged. Regards, Adrien

[GNC] Customizing invoices (Helmut Eller

I have same problem as Helmut who wants to display more than 2 decimal places in the quantity field of an invoice. My case is if I want to charge say 7 months of an annual subscription then my quantity is 7 12ths so 3 decimal places would be better. My only workaround was to add it in the descripti
