Allow better precision of data in the Universal Connector template

We are unable to load small tCO2e figures into the Accounts using Universal Connector template if the precision of the figures are for example six decimal places. I think the Universal Connector template only allows figures up to four decimal places. Hopefully this limitation should be lifted and small figures should be allowed, with a safe margin (for example 10-12 decimal places or even smaller).

    Hi Maciej,

    Thankyou for your idea.

    Unfortunately this is not something that can be easily changed as it impacts the data base, data capture screens and reporting throughout the whole platform.

    If you are capturing small amounts of CO2e the options are to either

    1. Use an account style/data type that has Kilograms as the primary unit of measure.

    2. Aggregate the records to equate to a more substantial amount of CO2e. For instance, if you have kgCO2e recorded by location, you could aggregate and report total tCO2e at the group, or org level if suitable.
