When using the Add Products function to add variants of an item to a Purchase order the Variant Matrix form will not allow non-integer quantities to be entered.
error message is returned when trying to enter decimals quantity in variant matrix form for products.
Issue is in class/retailmatrix/updatecell.
Is not allowing other value than integer.

When raising purchase orders for materials they convert into saleable products, the suppliers use units of square meters and their products are usually in decimal quantities (e.g.22.5 sqm).
Application is restricting entering decimals.
It slows down purchase process, specifically Purchase Order entry, increasing many time in entry and double checking, and possibly leading to errors in ordering.

Workaround: once integer quantities have been entered on the variant grid the process returns to either the line creation form where each quantity can be manually adjusted one by one to include the decimal part of the quantity. Alternatively if the matrix isn’t used at all every quantity can be manually entered using the Add Lines function.

However would be good to have this ability to enter decimals in variant matrix.
