Indeed, thank you for providing the way to reproduce the problem.
I can see that here, too.  I put in Qty 1, Unit price 10,000,000, and
the result is -8,466,744.07.  This is just wrong in so many ways.

For now, no.

Interesting.  It looks like yet another bug in the gnc_numeric math.
Thank you for pointing this out.

No need.  You've already provided enough information for me to
reproduce the problem here.  Linas, can you reproduce it there?  Or
have you never played with the business features at all.
