Missing currency symbol in "Amount" field
« on: October 06, 2011, 03:38:40 am »
Hi.

I've just done this month's invoice run (TimeMaster 4.5, iPhone 4) and notice that although I have currency symbols on all invoices for the Task entries, I am missing them in the Amount column for Projects and Expenditure. Also, I'm charging a client 45p per mile when I need to visit their office. Previously, the Amount field would show £0.45, it now shows as 0.45, which I will be queried about.

Is there a change that may have caused this? I've not done any fiddling other than to update to the latest version of TM when it is released.

Thanks,

Darren

Yes there were modifications to the Amount field.  Several people need to have a fraction of a cent.  In some places they need to charge something like 0.455 cents.  Because of this we can no longer use the currency symbol as the iOS currency routines cannot support a fraction of a cent.  We have changed the amount field to support up to 3 decimal places.

In TM v4.5 it is not displaying the number in a nice format, as you mention.  This has been fixed in TM v4.6 which we are about ready to submit to Apple for Review and hopefully will be available shortly.
