Reporting - Accept 2 decimal places in Budget Manager
Modify the Budget Manager so that it accepts 2 decimal places and does not round to the nearest full dollar.
Rounding all figures means that the Net Profit amount is incorrect which means the budgets are incorrect.

Hi everyone, we appreciate you continuing to highlight the impact of rounding on budget accuracy. We want to be upfront that while we've released new Analytics Budgets (currently in early acces), decimal precision isn’t part of this experience right now. This may be something we consider at a later stage but isn't in our short term plans.
If this position changes we will share an update.

Xero , there must be some action on this because on some of the fields it does accept the 2 decimal place figures on on other fields it doesn't , so perhaps it wouldnt be that difficult to actually implement the very worthwhile suggestion

Thanks for your reply Kelly.
I was hoping this would be an easy fix. The rounding causes us no end of problems because our budget workings are prepared in spreadsheets and it is a pain to have every formula modified to the $ as it results in the budget being slightly different to the amount requested. We have 11 departments and each department has its own rounding difference. This year they totalled $134. It's not much in $ but it is a pain that the reports presented to our Board have small inconsistencies.
