Oh, yes you are right. This is short input field. You can change it in gl_journal_ui.inc file changing small_amount_cell() to amount_cell() for the two fields about line 206

I just check it. it seems in journal entry is limited to 12digits only.
D Bank 123.456.789.123
C Equity 123.456.789.123

I tried to enter 13digit :
D Bank 1.234.567.891.234
C Equity 1.234.567.891.234

but it refuses and limited only to 12digit

but if I enter :
D Bank 999.999.999.999
C Equity 999.999.999.999
D Bank 999
C Equity 999
it shows total 1.000.000.000.998,00 and successfully posted

so is there a limitation in here and we just have to split into several line if we want to post more than 12digit?

thanks

For amount storage double type is used for which range is +-1.7976931348623157E+308.
Should be enough for everybody including Walton family's accountants.

Hi there.
Me & my friends have a question, how many digits that FA can handle in a journal entry and in COA number. Because it seems my friends want to post something like this:
D Bank 1.000.000.000.000
C Equity 1.000.000.000.000

Thanks
