The decimals for the items are related to the item unit code. (Each, hours etc.)
Use 1 decimal for hours.

Hello, I am using FA for my business which provides services. I have created several items that correspond to the various services we provide. The problem is that we frequently provide a service for a non-integer amount of time (ex 1.5 hours). When a decimal value is entered in the quantity field of a purchase order or sales order, it is converted to an integer. Is there any way to work around this?

(Perhaps I should add a feature request that if an item is type service, then the quantity field should allow decimal numbers. )
