Large Field Sizes Overview

The Large Field Sizes feature allows you to have prices and costs in Inventory and POS up to 99,999.999. The quantity sold in POS can be up to 99,999.99, while Item Extension (qty X price) and Transaction Total can be up to 9,999,999.99. In Inventory Maintenance, the Quantity on Hand can be up to 999,999,999.99, and SKU can be longer than 14 characters. (Note: Laser POs (RPO) print a maximum quantity size of 9,999,999 and cost of 99,999.999. Laser Receiver’s (RRP) print a maximum quantity size of 99,999 and cost of 99,999.999).
