PrecisionValues Rule

The PrecisionValues business rule provides rounding precision convention (i.e. number of digits allowed after the decimal point) for the display of Unit Values and for the calculation and display of Number of Units.

To use the same unit precision across multiple plans, configure the PrecisionValues business rule at the global rule.

This rule controls the value displays in several locations in OIPA:

  • OIPA Policy screen Values tab: This tab is in the left navigation menu of the Policy screen. It opens to reveal the Fund Details on the Value screen. Fund values are displayed in Units and in Unit Values.

    • Values tab in Policy Left Navigation Menu

  • OIPA Activity Result Window Allocation tab: The Activity Results window may be accessed from the Activity Screen (via the Activity Detail Icon), or from the Activity Detail window (via the Quote button, when configured).

    • Allocation tab in Activity Result Window

  • OIPA Activity Result Window Valuation tab: The Activity Results window may be accessed from the Activity screen (via the Activity Detail Icon), or from the Activity Detail window (via the Quote button, when configured). The Valuation tab at the top of the window opens the fund valuation information in Units and Unit Values.

    • Valuation tab in Activity Result Window
