By the way of the number of decimals.
During the WorldSoftware implementation ( we moved away from BPCS a bit
more than one year ago ) we have been told by the JDE Business Partner that
supported us that the Data Dictionary links every field to a "field class"
(or something like that) and therefore the number of decimals that we
should have chosen for the "field class" (amounts, quantities, etc.) would
have applied to EVERY similar field (belonging to the same "class") in the
database.
We have chosen 4 decimals for some very accurate and little quantities that
we use in manufacturing but now we are (hardly) working with many screens
full of useless zeros and in some cases the most significant figures get
truncated !!!
My users have, at the end, more or less accepted this situation but,
honestly, I've always been wondering how a big system like WS can have such
a horrible limitation ???

If increasing the number of decimals is what you plan on doing then make
sure that you do a where used on that field. If it is stored in any files
you will have to do a conversion.
