Introducing a new feature in Sage 200 Evolution version 11.0.4.0 to allow custom decimal places for exchange rates

1 minute read time.

Until before the release of version 11.0.4.0, Sage 200 Evolution did not have the ability to change the decimal places for an exchange rate. The standard decimal places default is 6. With the release of Sage 200 Evolution version 11.0.4.0, customers are now able to specify the preferred decimal places specifically for an exchange rate. 

Decimal places can be customized under Inventory | Maintenance | Inventory Defaults | General tab as seen below. These include selling prices, cost prices and quantities. This excludes exchange rates.

 

Sage 200 Evolution has now implemented a new feature to allow for the specification of decimal places on exchange rates. 

How to change decimal places for an exchange rate. 

To change the exchange rate decimal places, navigate to Common | Maintenance | Company details | General tab

 

The default exchange rate decimal setting is still 6. If the database is upgraded from an older version to 11.0.4.0, you will still have your exchange rate with 6 decimals.

 

When changing the exchange rate to 2 decimals, the current setup of exchange rate decimals will be updated to 2 automatically.

 

To make use of the exchange rate decimal feature an upgrade to version 11.0.4.0 of Sage 200 Evolution or higher will be required.

    Hi Herry

    Sage Evolution is relying on the decimal settings in the local PC's Control Panel | Region feature.

    Therefore, do the following:

    1. Close Evolution on the local PC

    2. Open the Control Panel | Region | Additional Settings

    3. On both the Numbers and Currency tabs, set the number of decimals to the required number, e.g. 2

    4. Save the change and then reopen the Evolution company 

    5. Of course, you can also control the number of decimals for Inventory Selling Prices, Cost Prices and quantities in the Inventory Defaults screen. Refer to the above screenshot (further rup in this chat).

    Kind Regards
