# Decimal precision

The Life Sciences Quality Control & Assurance module allows users to specify the test group member’s specifications and results’ decimal precision, regardless of the unit and relevant decimal precision associated with the test at the test level. In the [Quick result entry](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/supply-chain/inventory/quality-quick-results-entry) form and on the **Quality order lines**, the **Min**, **Max**, **Standard** and **Results value** fields are shown using the decimal precision defined for each individual quality order line.

#### Example

Test “Dissolution” has the unit set to “mg”. Unit “mg” has decimal precision “2”.

In the test group, it is possible to change the decimal precision for the “Dissolution” test in the **Decimal precision** and the **Result decimal precision** fields. For instance, it can be set to “3” in the **Decimal precision** field and “4” in the **Result decimal precision** field, so that the acceptance criteria will be saved with three decimals and the results will be saved with four decimals.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> To display the specification fields with the correct decimal precision in the [Quick result entry](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/supply-chain/inventory/quality-quick-results-entry) and **Quality order lines**, the **Hide standard specifications** parameter in the **Advanced quality management parameters** must be enabled.
