AX4.0 Decimal Places Storage Question

Hi there,

I am a newbie to AX, and have some questions regarding to AX4.0 data decimal places storage.

As I know my company has the following AX4.0 decimal places setting:

• Amount: 2 decimal places

• Quantity: 4 decimal places

Here are my questions:

1) How many decimal places are exactly stored in AX4.0 DB in our case?

2) Why >2 decimal places values found in Excel (ver 2003) sum up ledger amount (expect to be “$0”), which exported from General Ledger Module, Ledger Transaction List” text report”? Total details as follow:

• Foreign Ledger Amount -$0.0000000314298063130

• Local Ledger Amount -$0.00000001198613517814
