The scenario is that the products being sold are types of rice and they are bought in kilos and this means there is a need to enter fractional quantities (1/2, 1/4 and 1/8).

Example: 2.5 Kg @ 34 per kilo = 85

Now the idea is that the sales report would show the actual quantity, i.e. 2.5 in the example above, but the manual states"

When programmed to allow fractional quantities, you can enter up to four integers and three digit decimal, though the quantity is counted as one for sales reports.

So does this mean in my example the sale report would state:

a) 2.5
b) 3
c) 1
d) something else

I'm hoping the answer is a) as that solves another problem around inventory, but I fear I'm not going to be that lucky!

Can anybody test this out or simply tell me from their font of knowledge?

Cheers, IAN

As an update to my own question, I can confirm that it works exactly as I need and not as the manual states

Fractional quantities work perfectly and are reported appropriately in the sales reports, so Sharp have made another sale!
