Author	Topic: "Price per Unit" Rounding
pagecarol Member	posted 05-05-2003 02:16 PM I have an investment account (the format is common/preferred stocks)where I recorded the cost of about 20 stocks. Each month I update the value of the account using the "Enter Prices to Update Securities" screen. I show the number of units as 1. I then enter the full dollar amount of the value of all the stocks in the "Price Per Unit" field. I don't recall having this problem before, but this month the program is rounding to the nearest dollar (dropping the cents that I enter). The entry I am making is in the $200,000 range but it has been that size over the last few months and the program didn't drop the cents. Any idea what to do? IP: Logged
fni_support Moderator	posted 05-08-2003 10:17 AM Hello Carol, thank you for posting. The Price Per Unit field begins to round amounts after 4 digits. The program will drop all cents for entries that are 6 digits or more. However, although they are rounded in the price per unit field, the cents should still be added to the market value of the asset. ----------------------------------- George Technical Support Financial Navigator Int'l [This message has been edited by fni_support (edited 05-08-2003).] IP: Logged

David Administrator	posted 04-27-2009 11:14 AM Navigator 8.2 and earlier limit the price per share entry to seven digits before the decimal point (about $9,999,999). If you enter more digits, the price will be truncated to seven digits. When you have a large investment recorded in Navigator as a single share, this limit can prevent you from using Update Prices to change the balance. A workaround is to enter the transaction directly on the Unrealized Gain and Loss Transaction screen. The final result is correct. With any method, you are still limited to $85,000,009.99 per transaction. So if there is a large change, enter multiple transactions, each less than $85M. Navigator Version 9.0 and later allows nine digits total before and after the decimal, so per share price can be $123,456,789 or $1.23456789 etc. Navigator 9.0 also has a higher transaction limit of $500M ($50M in Standard Office Edition). So entering these updates in 9.0 is easier. - David FNI Technical Support [This message has been edited by David (edited 04-27-2009).] IP: Logged
