mvc4 - db.SaveChanges（） - 十进制值超出范围

Question

I'm building an MVC4 application that requires me to generate a 21 digit key when 'creating' a new record.

Here is my context where i'm defining the db columns:

public class cust
    {
        public int ID { get; set; }

        public decimal CPCUST_KEY { get; set; }

        public decimal CPCUST_TOKEN { get; set; }

        public decimal CPCUST_ALTERNATE_KEY { get; set; }

In my SQL Server table the items are all set as 'decimal(38, 0)'...I believe I should be using a decimal data type? Somehow i'm still getting the out of range error below. My number is well within the 38 digit max length of my SQL variable.

This is the db.SaveChanges() line Visual Studio takes me to when it bombs.

// POST: /cust/Create

[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult Create(cust cust)
{
    if (ModelState.IsValid)
    {
        db.cpcust.Add(cust);
        db.SaveChanges();
        return RedirectToAction("Index");
    }

    return View(cust);
}

Found what the deal is between these two threads:

How do I prevent decimal values from being truncated to 2 places on save using the EntityFramework 4.1 CodeFirst?

Decimal precision and scale in EF Code First

Specifically applying this code to mine:

public class MyContext : DbContext
{
    public DbSet<Metrics> Metrics { get; set; }

    protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
    {
        modelBuilder.Entity<Metrics>().Property(x => x.PPM).HasPrecision(4, 3);
    }
}
