This old debate. Fundamentally decimal precision (and for that matter uom
conversion) is broken.
I still maintain that for purchases, sales, invoices the correct approach -
1 level of precision at the price_unit level, and a seperate precision at
the subtotal/total level shared across all 3 objects. The totals on these
documents MUST match. You cannot give a quote to a customer and then
invoice a different price. We have been running this 6 months trouble
free, by just creating a precision called unit_price, and using 'Account'
for all totals. The only other change I would like to say, but it is
strictly wishlist is to have a separate display and storage precision.
Quite simply to avoid the fact that 800g of something costs more than
0.8kg (sometimes by as much as 50%).
