What is Decimal Places?

Decimal Places

Decide how many decimal places the quantity will be stored.

What it means

The system does not store quantities endlessly and finely. For each item or unit, set it to “two decimal places” and round off or truncate anything smaller than that.

There is no problem with items that are counted by the number of pieces, but very small amounts of ingredients may be caught by this setting and stored as 0.

At the pen factory

One refill takes 0.004L of ink. It was set to 0 because it was only stored to two decimal places, and the system did not receive the production output of refill, saying “the input quantity was 0.”

Why it matters

Any value smaller than the smallest quantity that can be stored will disappear the moment you enter it. It must be determined according to the item.
