“Purchase invoices don’t include numbers or unit cost. There is a feature request outstanding at Purchase Invoices - Quantity Field and you should add your vote there.”
Cheers for the pointer - I’ve added a “me too” comment to the thread you linked…
The currency field wants pure numerics. That would be the same in any database.
The underlying database might want a numeric, but the UI could support pasting, e.g. “£0.35” and turning it into “0.35” for me. It already does stuff if I post, e.g. “0.12345” which gets turned into “0.12” so I don’t think it’s too far fetched a request. I’ll create a feature request for it so it’s at least out there…
Purchase invoices don’t have a facility for zero value lines. You can start a feature request for this if it is a serious issue. QF do take feature requests seriously but it needs a body of support to be given any priority. (Sales invoices do allow zero value lines but not a zero total)
It’s not that big a deal for me in the scheme of things. I’d rather it did allow zero value lines, but it’s not really a painful enough problem for me to raise a feature request for.
