Formatted Search Rounding Issue

Question

Hi everyone,
I have a slight issue. I have defined a formatted search on the A/R Invoice that calculates the item price based on a user defined field. The problem is whenever the formatted search runs, it rounds the figure to two decimal places. For instance; the query is supposed to divide a value you put in the user defined field by 50 if you put in 2.25 the value you get is 0.04 instead of 0.045. The query i've used is as below.
Please assist.
SELECT (CAST($[$38.U_pprf.0] AS DECIMAL)/50)

Answer 1

Hi Duncan,
Try this FMS in UDF2. you will be get the exact value in UDF2.
for Example:
*Create 2 UDF's
UDF Type -> Unit and Total.
UDF Structure -> Price (or) Amount.
UDF1 -> U_pprf
UDF2 -> U_Item_Price
UDF1 = 2.25
UDF2 = 2.25/50 => 0.045
SORRY Last Query is not correct because that Query will not get Exact Result.
If you want exact value. Try the below Query.
First Assign the below Setup.
->> Administration.
->> System Initialization.
->> General Setting. -> Display Tab.
Assign the Decimal Places  (0..6) value.
Price (or) Amount -> 3
IF you assign the setup of Price (or) Amount = 3 in Decimal Places.
Result: 0.045
IF you assign the setup of Price (or) Amount = 2 in Decimal Places.
Result: 0.05
Query: 2
declare @UDF as numeric(19,6)
set @UDF = $[PDN1.U_pprf]
select  (@UDF/50)
Result: 0.045
Assign this FMS in UDF2 and Auto Refresh of U_pprf
