# Configure numeric display

You enter amounts in a particular format when you specify forecast and actual costs and benefits and approved budgets in financial summaries, or forecast and actual costs and benefits in financial data tables.

Amounts are entered in whole dollars (the default), in thousands of dollars, or in thousands and hundreds, depending on the settings of the `BUDGET_IN_WHOLE_DOLLARS` and the `BUDGET_IN_THOUSAND_SHOW_DECIMAL` parameters.

For details, see the BUDGET_IN_THOUSAND_SHOW_DECIMAL and BUDGET_IN_WHOLE_DOLLARS parameters in Server parameters.

Format of Amount Entry | Description | Value of BUDGET_IN_WHOLE_DOLLARS | Value of BUDGET_IN_THOUSAND_SHOW_DECIMAL
--- | --- | --- | ---
Whole Dollars | Default configuration. Values are displayed in integers. For example, an entry of 123456 represents 123,456. The BUDGET_IN_THOUSAND_SHOW_DECIMAL parameter is ignored. If you enter a decimal value, it is saved as specified, but then displayed with rounding to the nearest integer. For example, an entry of 123456.5 is saved as 123456.5, but then displayed as 123457. | TRUE | not applicable
Thousands | Values are displayed in integers that represent thousands. For example, an entry of 123 represents 123,000. You cannot enter a decimal value, therefore, the value saved and displayed are the same. | FALSE | FALSE
Thousands and Hundreds | Values are displayed in integers and a decimal, representing thousands and hundreds. For example, an entry of 123.456 represents 123,456. Values are both saved and displayed as specified. | FALSE | TRUE

Note: Even though these parameters in the `server.conf` configuration file are named in terms of dollars, the functionality applies to all currencies.
