Hello,
There are two ways to accomplish this requirement.
1.
Create formula column (let say CF_1) in the same data model group where the qty exists and in the property use Datatype as NUMBER and use the code inside that formula column like this...
function CF_1Formula return Number is
  vRetVal NUMBER;
begin
  IF :UOM='PCS' THEN
    vRetVal:=ROUND(:QTY,2);
  ELSE
    vRetVal:=ROUND(:QTY);
  END IF;
   RETURN vRetVal;
end;And in the report where you are using QTY field as source use the CF_1 as source it will work as you asked.
2.
In the layout editor where the QTY field exists. Click on QTY field and call the PL/SQL Editor by pressing F11 key from keyboard and us the code inside like this...
begin
  IF :UOM='PCS' THEN
    SRW.SET_FIELD(0,ROUND(:QTY,2));
  ELSE
    SRW.SET_FIELD(0,ROUND(:QTY));
  END IF;
  RETURN TRUE;
end;-Ammad
