Hello all,

Whenever I use an equation (apologies if wrong terminology) in report writer, the formatting field doesn’t seem to affect the actual result. In this case, it will always return 4 decimal points when I try to format it to return 2. 

Take note of ‘Payment Applied’ - you can see it returns 4 decimal points
Whenever I use an equation (for example, the above), it ignores the formatting

I have tried =###,###.00 , =###,###.## , =######.## , =######.00 , all with and without the quotations as seen above. Any insight into this would be great!

Hello,

Here is a screen shot of the Invoice/Memo form that comes with Acumatica. Did you try $#,##0.#0? I think, you won’t need the $ + in the Value field.
