Is there are table mapping currencies to the smallest non-fractional unit?

[Christian]

Hi,

we are receiving a BID_TOO_MANY_FRACTIONAL_DIGITS error on a bid of 458850000 micros in an account having Chilean Pesos (CLP) as currency. Usually a multiply of 10000 is non-fractional (e.g. in EUR or USD) but obviously this is not always the case. Is there any AdWords documentation about the mapping between currencies and the smallest accepted (i.e. non-fractional) amount of micros?

Thanks and best regards,

Christian

Hi Christian,

You can use this tool, linked from our Common Errors guide.

Hi,

the links still work but do not provide information about minimal CPC values per currency anymore. Could you please provide updated links? Thanks ind advance!

Hi Christian,

Thanks for pointing that out. I'm still looking into where the minimal CPC values/currency are now published. I'll get back to you as soon as I have more info.

Hi Christian,

Could you provide more details on how this information will be used?

Thanks,

Hi Josh,

sure.

We use the AdWords API to set bids, which are calculated by an algorithm. For these bids we need to know the smallest fractional unit and the smallest possible bid for the currency used in an account.

Please let me know if you need more details.

Best,

Christian

Are there any updates to this? I'm trying to do the same thing and can't find the minimal CPC values/currency anywhere.

Hi,

I'm still working on gathering this information so I can publish it in the AdWords API documentation. I'll update this thread as soon as that's done.

Thanks,

Hi,

I have good news! The table in the currency section of the Codes and formats page now includes the minimums for each currency. In addition, I updated the Budgets and Bids sections of the Common Errors guide with links back to the currency list.

Hi,

just had a look at https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/codes-formats#currency-codes againg, but the currency information seems to have disappeared again. Is that right or do I miss something here?

Best regards,

Christian

Hi Christian,

If you click on the arrow under Currency codes, you should see the table with all available currencies.

If you do not see that table, please let me know which language you have selected in the bottom left corner of the page so I can investigate.

Thanks,

Hi Josh,

My fault, sorry, didn't recognize the arrow as an expander.

Thanks for the quick response!
