Worth a try, can you re import your xsd changing type="xsd:decimal" for INVOICE_AMOUNT_EX_GST and test.

@Nikhil, It seems you define and test INVOICE_AMOUNT_EX_GST same as element GST_AMOUNT without column Definition annotation

Nikhil- Did you find any solution to make the data consistent between the database data and the queried data in Appian ?
We have the same issue that few values are rounding of to 1 decimal digit. We even tried using decimal(x,y) in JP annotations but no luck.

Thanks for your replies guys, unfortunately, we cannot change the table column data type at this point.

In database we are using datatype NUMBER. docs.oracle.com/.../datatype.htm

@Nikhil, Can you try changing the table column and corresponding CDT column type to Number(x,y) ? It is working fine for us!

@shivakanth - The issue is, the value fetched from the database using queryentity or queryrule) is shown as 154037.4. When I tried fixed(todecimal(ri!value), 2) it displayed 154037.37. See attached image.
@rahul - How did that work for you ? It throws a datatype mismatch when we try to publish the datastore. (The data type in the db is FLOAT)

The datatype for all 3 columns in the database is FLOAT.
IF you refer the word attachment, in the XSD, the columnDefinition is added only to the first element. For element GST_AMOUNT, even when the columnDefinition annotation is not defined, Appian is returning true value from db however for element INVOICE_AMOUNT_EX_GST the columnDefinition being defined, the value is still rounded off to 1 decimal.
Why is Appian treating the 3 elements differently?

In one of our XSD, we used below format. This gives exact value that exist in the database. And we are using oracle 10g. Hope it'll help you.
<xsd:element name="LATITUDE" nillable="true" type="xsd:double">
<xsd:annotation>
<xsd:appinfo source="appian.jpa">@Column(name="LATITUDE", columnDefinition="NUMBER NULL")</xsd:appinfo>
</xsd:annotation>
</xsd:element>

Can you try with round function
Ex: round(7.1254, 3) returns 7.125
round(7.1254, 2) returns 7.12

I tried with the value in the live view
fixed( todecimal(154037.37), 2) output is - 154,037.37
Please note it will round up in cases as specified below
fixed( todecimal( 154037.309 ), 2) output - 154,037.31
Let's see if any other practitioner can share some valuable inputs on this.

Hi Sonal, thanks for the reply,
1. We are using Oracle 10g
2. In my example, using fixed(todecimal(ruleinput)) shows the correct output, however, now there is a mismatch between what is shown in Live view vs what is shown in the Data view in the Interface designer (See attachment)
Also, any idea why is this happening intermittently? ...for the 3rd attribute (GST_AMOUNT) it is showing correctly.

Hi Nikhil,
Which database are you using ?
If its MySQL try updating the XSD as mentioned below :
<xsd:element name="amount" nillable="true" type="xsd:decimal">
<xsd:annotation>
<xsd:appinfo source="appian.jpa">@Column(name="Amount", columnDefinition="Decimal(10,2)")</xsd:appinfo>
</xsd:annotation>
</xsd:element>
Configure the column data type as "Decimal" and length as (10,2) in database as well.
This link provides the maximum precision in Appian :
forum.appian.com/.../Custom_Data_Types_from_XSD.html
Else you could use fixed function at the output of the query entity
Example : fixed( todecimal(100.540), 2) output is - 100.54
