You can have up to 6 decimal places on any Machine meter product price
The System Reference = Reports; Code = Unit-Price-Decimal-Places; Description = Maximum number of decimal places to show on unit prices on invoices; Value = number of decimal place to print for the unit price on the invoice. 
Please note, that the value in this system reference will apply to all Standard Tax Invoice Layouts
If you have your own custom designed Tax Invoices for Meter Charge Runs you will need to advise Readysell of the name of each one of these Invoices as this system reference only applies to the Standard Tax Invoices.
