<Number name="priceEdition" decimal="." grouping="," formatOutput="#0.00" formatInternal="#0.00" />

If the customer wants always two decimals, and three or four dynamically depending on the number of decimals:

<Number name="priceRelation" decimal="." grouping="," formatOutput="#,##0.00##" formatInternal="#0.00##"/>

<Number name="priceEdition" decimal="." grouping="," formatOutput="#0.00##" formatInternal="#0.00##"/>

If the customer wants always four decimals:

<Number name="priceRelation" decimal="." grouping="," formatOutput="#,##0.0000" formatInternal="#0.0000" />

<Number name="priceEdition" decimal="." grouping="," formatOutput="#0.0000" formatInternal="#0.0000" />
