- In most forms in Paradigm, numbers are stored up to five decimals (sometimes four), but are rounded to a certain amount of decimals for display purposes only.

- An inventory item can be opened and edited from an order or invoice by clicking the line item options (the folder to the left of a line) and clicking ‘Inventory’.
- If you find yourself doing repetitive work or data manipulation, or if you are copying values from one report to another manually, please let your system administrator know! Chances are that Paragon can create a report that does the work for you.
- A summary row will be displayed with summaries for select columns on most lists in Accounts Receivable or Accounts Payable when all results are shown. As a result “Limit to 250 Records” must be turned off or the search must return fewer than 250 results for summary lines to appear in AR or AP lists.
- This can be disabled in User Security > User Permissions > General Permissions; Disable the “Allow viewing totals at bottom of list screens” permission.
