We have a few vendors that use half quantities when ordering. For example an order of envelopes comes in a box of 2,500 we use the UOM of "M" and typically enter the order for 2.5. Recently we are having issues with Lawson not allowing us to use decimals giving the error message "too many decimals entered". Is there a way to fix this? We are now trying to match invoices to the PO's and obviously they are not matching becuase the PO will show 2M and the invoice will show 2.5M. Any help would be great!

Decimals for quantity is controled at the company level in IC01 or the item level in IC11. If this is a type N or I item look to IC11, if it's an X type item look to IC01.

In IC11 on the Main tab there's a field for number of decimals for quantity (see attached).
