Hi there, beefreshkw-gmail.

 

Currently, there's no option to change the setting for decimal places from two to three in QuickBooks Online.

 

However, I suggest going to the  Accounts and Settings page. From there, you're able to see the other available number format.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. At the top right, click the Gear icon.
  2. Select Account and Settings.
  3. On the left pane, select Advanced.
  4. Go to the Other preferences section and click the pencil icon.
  5. Select your preferred Number format on the drop-down.
  6. Click Save and hit Done.

 

 

 

Please check this article on how you can set up your company file under Advanced account settings:  How do I set my advanced account settings?.

 

Feel free to leave a comment below if you have any other questions about adjusting the decimal in QuickBooks. I'll be happy to help you further.

If it is mandatory for your company, consider switching to QB Desktop.

I have looked for this setting, but don't have a Number format, only Currency format. Hoping someone can help?

Thank you for joining this thread, @squidworm.

 

Let me share info about changing the number format in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

Before anything else, I'd like to know whether you're referring to the displayed amount of your transactions or not. Moreover, I appreciate your effort in reviewing the Advanced option.

 

The Number format field was changed to Currency format. If you want to change the decimal format of the displayed amount of your transactions, you can modify it by clicking the Currency format dropdown and selecting the one you prefer.

 

If you want to view a snapshot of your business, you can read this article: Run reports in QuickBooks Online.

 

Feel free to return here if you have additional questions about managing the displayed numbers in your QBO account. We'll be willing to lend a hand. Keep safe, and have a good one.

Thank you Bryan,

The number is a quantity on an invoice and the client wants to enter the quantity as 13.33333, but have that display on the printed invoice as 13.33. This is so the line item total matches the quote supplied to the client. The quote was produced using a spreadsheet which can handle this situation.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that the client wants the invoice total to match the quote exactly, including the cents!

Let me guide you on how you can send feedback, SquidWorm.

 

I can see that having more than two (2) decimal places will fit your business needs. At the moment, the Currency format option only shows a maximum of two (2) digits in QuickBooks Online (QBO). I've added a screenshot for your reference



Also, the screenshot above is showing in the US version but it works the same way as QuickBooks Online (QBO) International.

 

Apart from this, you can send a request to our product developers to let them know and grasp the importance of this feature and be able to plan technological shifts in the future. To do so, follow the steps outlined below:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon, then Feedback.
  2. Enter your comments or product suggestions. Then select Next to submit feedback.

This goes to our Product Development team to help improve your experience in QuickBooks Online. You can also track feature requests through the QuickBooks Online Feature Requests website.

 

In addition, learn how you can set up Advanced accounts and their preferences. I've added this article for more information: Set Up Advanced Accounts Settings in QuickBooks Online.

 

You can always let us know if you have any other concerns about the Currency format. We're here to help you always.
