BOM quantity decimal places

[arobertsWVHVZ]

The BOM quantity precision in general settings only allows for one setting for all numbers, which I view as a minor annoyance for whole numbers.  Most of the items in my BOMs are whole numbers, but I have some items that are fractions that need to be shown to five decimal places to give an accurate count.  Since the setting applies to all numbers it means that the whole numbers show up as 1.00000 for example.  It would be nice if there was a setting for whole number precision and a separate setting for fractions precision so, for example, most of my parts would show up as 1.0, while others may show up as 0.00926.  Another note, when viewing a BOM in the flat view it already does this (maybe based upon how I improted the BOM), but the nested view shows all items to the same precision.
