do items need to be configured to allows decimal quantities

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, it appears that NetSuite does allow decimal quantities for items. However, there are some limitations and considerations to keep in mind: 1. The number of decimal places allowed for inventory detail quantities cannot be limited outside of a script. If you use multiple units of measure, you could encounter issues if you try to limit the decimal places. 2. The formatting of decimal quantities can be influenced by the Number Format under the company General Preferences. This setting is used for all non-Currency fields, including Decimal fields like Quantity. If you're seeing inconsistencies in the formatting of decimal quantities, it's worth checking this setting. 3. There is a limitation on the number of decimal places that can be used in certain situations. For example, the inventory detail pop-up shows inventory in 8 decimals, but the system only allows up to 5 decimals. This can cause issues when dealing with a lot of decimals in unit of measure (UOM) conversions for precision purposes. One workaround suggested is to work to a different number of implied decimals. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
