Description Jon Lapham 2003-07-18 15:04:51 UTC 
Within a account of type "stock", if you enter a price with more than 2
decimal points, the price gets rounded.  This is not correct, because
sometimes you can actually purchace stocks with fractional cents.  Also, it
is theoretically possible that some currencies use thousanths (I'm guessing).

Note: this happens even if you set the stock commodity and account
fractions to 1/10000.

It is definately a combo rounding/trucation issue, if you enter 1.014 you
get 1.01, if you enter 1.015 you get 1.02.

I'll note that you can just enter the #shares and "total buy/sell" and
it will autocompute the price for you...
Comment 2 Roberto Neri 2003-07-30 07:50:16 UTC 
I'm afraid that it doesn't work (for me, at least): I've entered the no. of 
shares and total buy, but the price, which should have been 1.0484, has 
been set to 1 once again... 
 
I would also like to inform you that, when I import buy/sell transactions 
from a QIF file, the price is imported correctly (I've verified prices up to 6 
decimal digits), but when I reopen my accounts file after saving & exiting 
gnucash, the prices are all rounded.  
  
I'm using Gnucash 1.8.4 built from sources on Slackware Linux 9.0, with 
Gnome 1.4 components installed from the previous Slackware Linux 
release (8.1).
