Decimal places
Last modified: 2018-06-29 23:37:11 UTC
I use a currency with no decimal places. In account property I set the smallest fraction to "1" and it works fine in most cases. But in some places, for example when selecting a transaction to edit, 2 decimal points (**.00) appear which are sometimes confusing. [Preferences>General>Automatic decimal points] is disabled tho.
What currency is that? Perhaps we have an error in the currency data. Are you using that currency exclusively and did you set it as the default currency when you created the GnuCash file?
Created attachment 293447 [details] Screenshot of default display symbol for Iranian Rials wrong symbol for Iranian Rial
The crrency is Iranian Rials (IRR) which has been set as default currency at the time of creating the file. By the way, the default display symbol for Iranian currency is also wrong. [Tools>Edit Security]. See the attachment above. The problem is that the symbol is repeated. For example if the symbol was "X", it is displayed like "XX"
Sorry I forgot to mention in the previous comment; I do not exclusively use Iranian Rials. I also have some accounts in USD. No problem with USD accounts
I checked the currency file, and it correctly shows the fraction for IRR as 1, so the right setting for smallest fraction is "commodity value". Since you're also using USD in some accounts, are you absolutely sure that the decimal places are showing up in IRR-only transactions? If so, can you tell me a procedure to reproduce it?
Decimal places normally appear in USD transactions (as it should be); but in IRR transaction they should not show up. To reproduce: Simply just create two IRR accounts and transfer some money from one to the other. When transaction is done, numbers are OK without decimal places. But when you select them to edit, two decimal places appear in deposit/withdrawal column.
OK, got it. The problem was that the editing cell wasn't getting set to the account's commodity's format. Fixed in maint, it will be in version 2.6.6, to be released at the end of the month.
