Batch Entry Update

Locale Number Respect

Customers with custom locale settings for countries like Germany or those in Europe use commas (,) as decimal points (.). This creates complications with the batch entry module. When entering a number with a comma (e.g., ,##), it saves as a whole number instead of recognizing the comma as a separator.

Cause

In Batch Entry, the Hours (As Number) value was being sent to Apex as a string instead of a number. This resulted in Apex not recognizing it based on the European Locale.

Resolution

Prior to sending the Hours (As Number) value to Apex, convert the value from a string to a number.
