Spanish term or phrase: EUROS %
"el sistema informático de [COMPANY] reconoce 2 decimales para los precios pieza expresados en EUROS % y 3 decimales para las otras divisas"

Anyone know what that percentage sign is about? Or am I displaying my ignorance once again? I'm quite happy with the sentence without it! ("The [COMPANY]’s IT system recognises figures to 2 decimal points for parts prices expressed in EUROS and to 3 decimal points for other currencies.")

Explanation:
Sentence works best eliminating the "%" entirely, I think.
