 How to Set Up Quantity Rounding Precision for Items in Business Central 

When managing inventory in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, ensuring accurate unit-of-measure (UOM) conversions is crucial. If your items are sold in whole units (e.g., pieces) but purchased in bulk (e.g., boxes), setting up Quantity Rounding Precision helps avoid decimal discrepancies. 

 Step 1: Access the Item’s Unit of Measure 
1. Open the Item Card for the product you want to configure. 
2. Go to the "Units of Measure" section (or search for it using the 🔍 icon). 

 Step 2: Define the Base Unit of Measure 
- The Base Unit of Measure (e.g., PCS, BOX, KG) determines default calculations. 
- Ensure this aligns with your primary sales or procurement method. 

 Step 3: Set Quantity Rounding Precision 
1. In the Item Card, locate the "Quantity Rounding Precision" field. 
2. Enter the rounding rule: 
   - 0 = No decimals (whole numbers only). 
   - 0.1 = Rounds to one decimal place. 
   - 0.01 = Rounds to two decimal places. 




 Step 4: Test with Transactions 
- Create a purchase or sales order to verify that quantities round correctly per your settings.
