The Vancouver release is no longer supported. As such, the product documentation and release notes are provided for informational purposes only, and will not be updated.
In forms, currency values appear in the currency in which they were entered.
A combo box provides a list of available currencies, and the user's locale determines its format. When entering or changing the numeric currency value, enter it in the same format specified by the user’s locale. In the form for a new record, the reference currency is pre-selected in the currency list, with the numeric value set to zero.
- If the record is read only, the currency value appears in the Currency field as it was entered, and is formatted in the user’s locale. In the Price field, the session currency value appears.
- In Single currency mode, the currency is a label that cannot be changed, and the Edit icon does not appear.
Editing the currency instance record
If a currency instance record exists, an Edit icon appears next to the
Currency field if you have edit rights for the fx_currency_instance
table. Users with the financial_mgmt_user role can edit the values associated with the currency
field.
Note: Normally, you should not edit the fx_currency_instance table directly. The Now Platform maintains these tables, and your changes could have unintended
consequences.
