Dolibarr V20.0.1  
When I enter quantities with values ​​after the decimal point in the shipping module, they are not displayed after validation.  
Does anyone have a solution for this?

If I understand you correctly, you are wanting to ship a portion of an item instead of the whole item.

For example, you define a product as a dozen eggs and you have three dozen eggs in your inventory. You sell eighteen eggs and want to ship those eighteen eggs so you mark your shipment as 1.5 [a dozen and half]. The system only records 1 [since the field is an integer not a decimal].

Your solution is to define an egg as your product and ship by “each” item not a portion of the item.

I hope that helps.

Thanks for the info.  
The problem here is that we sometimes work with volume measurements.  
Example 1 m³ costs € 100  
If I ship 15.5 m³ I have a problem.

Again, it seems to me that you have to define a smaller increment since you are wanting to sell only a smaller portion of a whole.

A Cubic meter is equal to :

1000 Liters  
220 imperial gallons  
264 US fluid gallons

More than likely, you are already measuring out a certain number of Liters to fulfill the order.

I had this problem too, but with centimeters and meters. Seems odd that you can’t use decimal points.

Hi all,

This is a known issue and already has a fix for the upcoming 20.0.3 version.
