[GNC] gnucash version 4.6 precission issue in price

[David Carlson]

In the  price database the precision is individually set for each currency
or commodity.  That is defined in the securities database using the
Security editor, normally when you initially define the currency or
security, tho you can change it later.  If you are at the stage of entering
a transaction where you need a price to complete the transaction, it is
usually easiest to enter the number of shares and total value and let
GnuCash calculate the price.
