[GNC] Rounding issues with Stock

[Kalpesh Patel]

Also for the account, check the 'Smallest Fraction' setting and adjust as necessary by first selecting the account and then clicking the 'Edit' button in the ribbon at the top which should show you all of the setting available for the account. While you are add it, you may want to check the 'Fraction Traded' setting through the security setup settings (Tools --> Security Editor --> [select security] --> Edit).

Subject: [GNC] Rounding issues with Stock

First, let me tell you I am a recent user of GNUCash, and by no means I am a bookkeeper or know a lot about accounting.
I am using the tool to keep control of some stock I own.

Here is my issue.
I have a DRIP on the stock. My broker says the reinvested price of each share was $26.4884, and they bought 4 shares for a total value of $105.9536.

Now, I cannot enter four decimals in the buy (I do not know if it is a setting), even though the price handles them.
When I recorded the transaction in GNUCash y entered 4 shares and a buy of
$105.95 and a price of $26.4875 was calculated.

If I enter 4 shares and the price of $26.4884, it recalculates it to $26.4875.

How do I solve this? I want to keep track of the correct numbers.

Thanks for your help.
