Values in Money Fields Truncated at Decimal Point

Valid on all operating environments

Symptom:

Including a decimal point in a money amount causes truncation of the value. This behavior applies to all fields intended to hold currency values, such as Purchase Amount and Maintenance Fee. For example, if you enter 265.50 in the Purchase Amount field, the value is saved as 265.

Solution:

Although the name of some fields implies that they are money fields, they are implemented as integers. To avoid truncation, do not use a decimal point in integer fields.
