Can I enter a price with fractional cents?

Is there a way to enter more than 2 decimal places for price in POS products? For Example, we want to enter .007 as the price.
Yes, you can do this, however do note that things will look at little odd on the screen and on the receipts.

If you edit the price, and enter .007, you will see that price while editing it, but as soon as you save it, the screen will show it rounded to .01. However, internally in the database, it is stored as .007. Also, on the POS screen and the receipts, you will have the same issue. Let's say someone buys qty 100 of them. The screen and receipt will show 100 @ .01. However, the line item total will show $0.70, and that's how much they will be charged. This only works if you enter all of them as one line item with a quantity. If you enter each one as a separate line item, they will be charged .01 for each of them.
