    Currency administration

    Currency fields provide features for handling display and calculations of currency values.

    A currency field holds a value, a currency code, and a reference currency value.

    • The currency code is a three-letter ISO code that identifies the currency in which the value is specified.
    • The reference currency value is a number representing the currency value in the reference currency. The reference currency value is calculated by a rate conversion when the currency value is saved.

    A price field is similar to a currency field, but with special features for conversion and display. To learn more, see Price fields.

    • Locale settings

      There are two locale settings, system and user. The system locale determines the reference currency, and the user locale determines the session currency.

    • Session and reference currency

      The system uses two kinds of currency, session and reference.

    • Single-currency mode

      Single-currency mode enables all users of the platform to view currency values in the same currency.

    • Price fields

    • Currency values in import and export

      In general, currency values crossing the boundaries of the platform are represented in the user’s session currency and formatted in the user’s locale.

    • Currency values in scripts

      You can use currency fields in scripts.

    • Configure currency fields in audit records

      You can control what currency value is stored in audit records.

    • Change currency decimal places

    • Configure currency optimizer

    • Currency system properties

      You can control how currency fields are configured and used in your instance.
