Richard,
The number of Siginificant digits is different than the decimal places. Jurgen is correct. The quantity fields are 13 in length with 3 as decimal. You can have up to 13 significant digits.
You can adjust where the decimal lies by using units which are multiples of each other:
1234.56789 KM = 1234567.890 M
SAP would not allow you to store this value in KM, but it would allow you to store it in M. In M, you can enter and retain the 9 significant digits. In KM, SAP would store it as 1234.568 KM and you would only have 7 significant digits.
Your Original Unit = 1000 Base UOM.
1.0001 in Orig. Units = 1000.1 in Base UOM.
(or whatever multiple you need to use)
Many possible follow-on discussions depending on the use, input methods, and output methods.
