MORE INFORMATION

In the Pipeline Properties dialog box, you can modify the number of decimal places to be used for currency rounding by using the Supply the number of decimal places used for currency rounding property. This property determines how many digits of precision are held by a currency. For example, two digits are held for United States pennies. This value is used for default rounding processing and to determine the scaling factor that is used in legacy currency keys. This property is active only if the Currency (high precision) setting is specified for Currency mode on the pipeline.
