Decimals in query on General Settings

Question

Hi experts,
I set the decimal places in General settings as follows;
     Amounts = 0
     Decimals in Query = 2
And currncies settings is as follows;
     EUR : Decimals = 2 Digits
Then for example, Invoice can be input as 10.35 EUR. But if I check the JDT1 by query , the amount shows 10.
It seems that the option for Decilas in query doesn't work. Is that a bug already known??
Also I can't get 10.35 on PLD of Journal entry. The fiels is Debit amount (FC) and Credit amount (FC), they are also shown as 10.I think this is same reason that JDT1 doesn't show 10.35.
I know if I set the decimal places of amounts=2, query shows 10.35. But Local ccy and System ccy have no decimal, so I don't want to set amount =2.   Version is 9.0 PL07.
Please advise.
Thanks and regards,
Kaori

Answer 1

Hi,
Tested in 8.82 version:
For example, create sales order with quantity of 1 and unit price 10.35
Condition 1:
Set all decimal places to zero and only set decimal place for query = 2
Run below query:
select t0.quantity , t0.unitprice from RDR1 t0.
Result:
T0.quantity         T0.unitprice
  1                              10
Condition 2 :
Set all decimal places to zero and only set decimal place for query= 2
Run below query to multiply quantity with price
select t0.quantity * t0.unitprice from RDR1 t0.
Result:
T0.quantity         T0.unitprice
  1                              10.35
So decimal place in query will affect when do perform calculation through query.
Condition 3:
Set Price decimal places to 2 and only set decimal place for query= 0
Run below query:
select t0.quantity , t0.unitprice from RDR1 t0.
Result:
T0.quantity         T0.unitprice
  1                              10.35
Final conclusions:
1. When you perform calculation in query (condition 2), the decimal place in query will take effect, regardless of decimal place in all other field
2. When you retrieve data directly from field (condition 3), the decimal place in query will not take effect. But decimal place set for price will take effect.
3. In your case, your query directly retrieve the data from JDT1 table. So that decimal in query (2 place) no effect on query result. Query result shows 10 because, the decimal for price field 0.
4. To get correct result (10.35), you have to set two decimal places for price field.
5. Please ignore the SAP note.
Hope it will be helpful.
