<div>I've solved many questions through
trial-and-error, consultation with my husband, and Internet
research. But here's one I haven't cracked yet.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>When I do a "reinvest dividend" activity, I am
given boxes to enter in the number of shares and the price per

<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>I have two questions about this "reinvest
dividend" process:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1) Even though I type in 57.758 shares, KMM rounds
it to 57.76 shares. I would like to have more than two decimal
places for my share balance. I have already gone to
Settings-->Configure KMyMoney --> Price precision = 6
digits. But I still get this rounding to two decimal places
for share quantity. Any way to achieve my objective?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>2) My Fidelity account gives only the number of
shares and the dollar amount of a dividend transaction. When I
entered these into Quicken, it automatically calculated the
share price. But I haven't found any way for KMyMoney to do
this. Hence, I have had to use a hand-held calculator to
calculate the share price and then enter that figure into
KMyMoney, but this seems rather clunky. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Am I missing something here? I would like for KMM
to allow me to enter the number of shares and total dollar
amount and then have the share price automatically calculated
by KMM.</div>
<div>

Jane,<br>

The fraction field for each investment will set the decimal places
for share quantity. I set all of mine to 1/1000. I had more when I
migrated from Quicken 2 years ago, but after time reset them to
1000. i find this works adequately since most brokerages only show
3 decimal places for share volumes. <br>
<br>
I have configured Kmymoney to use kcalc on my linux machine. This
allows me to click a little calculator button or type in the formula
of total price / shares to get a price per share. I would also like
this field to be calculated from total price since trading mutual
funds can have 3 different prices per share for ordinary dividends,
short term cap gains, and long term cap gains dispursed. The
brokerage firm tends to round differently for each of these. I
irritates me that I then have 3 different cost basis to average
out:) We could both request this feature.<br>
