More than 2 decimals for item pricing and cost

I am wondering if there is a way to price items as well as input the cost of items to extend more than 2 places past the decimal.  Example, I purchase and sell items that sometimes cost individually less than 1 cent.  I sell as an individual count, but have price points set once certain quantities are purchased.  The same is true for my purchases.  

 

Example.   I purchase widgets in 1000 count lots  if my lot costs $333.33 each widget then cost me $0.333  If I put each cost me $0.33 it will indicate my cost to me $330.00

 

I then sell my widgets at a 12 count for $5, this would be $0.417 per widget but currently could round to $0.42 which comes out of $5.04 or I could charge $0.41 so I do not over charge the customer which comes out to $4.92.  these variations add up.  If you do not agree, please just send me a penny....... 100,000,000 times and I will be very happy.  😜

This is one of the many reasons I use QuickBooks for my accounting and tracking of my financials and not Square.  I can input a few more decimals than just 2.    Actually I think I put in 1 bought 1000 widgets for $100 and QuickBooks does the math and enters the item cost for me.

AND!!  That is how it should be.  I do not think there is that option within square for neither cost or sell price.  the quickbooks solution does resolve the cost of goods via a third party solution tracking expenses.  However that does not resolve the ringing up items for a customer.  To give a specific example, I sell Dubia roaches for Medium for an 80 count for $22.00  but I will commonly have customer request 100, 120, 125 etc.  I want to charge them at the price break of buying 80 or more.  This works out to $0.275.  If they buy only 1 it is $0.50 each,  12+ is $0.417 each,  40+ is $.30 each, 80+ is $0.275.  

 

I had a similar issue with the price for crickets, but instead, I just completely re-did my prices and break points for crickets.  It just should not be this difficult.
