Rounding decimal digits can skew total cost values

[Sergio Schaar]

I entered a Std. Rate for a material resource using 4 decimals (i.e. 4.6655).
Project rounded the value to 4.67 and calculated Cost. The Cost values got
seriously affected since the rate factors thousands of assignment units.

Under options there is a place where you can modify the decimal digits for
currency values, but it’s limited to 0,1 or 2. Tools/ Options/View(Tab)
Currency Options for 'Projec1.mpp'

How can I use and preserve more that 2 decimals?

In MS Excel you can format currencies to show a lower number of digits
(after the decimal point) and keep the original value in the background, this
way calculations don't get skewed. Is there anything similar in Project 2003?

Hi Sergio,

Sorry, no option to have mlmore digits.
Why not change the units for instance, give the rate per 1000 kg instead of
per kg?
