2397944 - Maximum Fraction Digits

When changing the maximum fraction digits for a field (example- FTE) into 7, system reverts the number of decimal places to 5.

Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.

Bizx

1. Go to Admin Tools > Manage Business Configuration > jobInfo element

2. Change the Maximum Fraction Digits value to 7 for FTE field.

3. Save the changes.

4. Search for an employee and manually change the FTE with a value having 7 decimal places.

5. System immediately changes it to 5 decimal places.

This is an expected system behavior.

The possible values for Maximum Fraction Digits ranges from 0 to 5 only.

However, you may only use this property only to HRIS fields with the data type DOUBLE. If you do not use this attribute for a DOUBLE data type, the number is rounded to three decimal places by default.

If you define a negative value, the default value of 3 decimal places is used.

You can choose a number from 0 to 5.

• Settings from BCUI is all normal, DOUBLE data type and maximumFractionDigits is '5'
• Same setting on data model XML
