Standard currency fields
The standard, or default, currency fields are installed with the base system and used in most non-financial applications.
A standard currency field stores a currency value, a currency code, and a reference currency value.
- Three-letter ISO code that identifies the currency that you select for the currency amount. For example, USD for the US Dollar, or EUR for the Euro.
- The reference currency value is the currency value, expressed in the reference currency. When you save a currency value, the reference currency value is calculated using a rate conversion.
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
