System Setting for Arithmetic total

Feature Request: System-Level Default for Arithmetic Total

Summary:
Enable administrators to set Arithmetic Total to on or off by default at the system level, ensuring consistent use across the organization and reducing manual configuration.

Problem Statement:
Users must currently remember to apply Arithmetic Total when required by their organization. Relying on manual selection creates opportunities for user error and inconsistent application of organizational standards.

Proposed Solution:
Provide a system-level setting that allows administrators to configure Arithmetic Total as enabled or disabled by default.
Automatically apply the configured default when users create new applicable items.
For organizations that require Arithmetic Total, provide an enforcement option that keeps it enabled and prevents users from disabling it.
Preserve existing items unless an administrator explicitly chooses to apply the setting retroactively.

Benefits:
Reduces user error by automatically applying the organization's preferred setting.
Supports consistent adherence to organizational requirements.
Eliminates repetitive manual selection and simplifies the user workflow.
