Entering Currency

When entering currency, Siebel Wireless allows you to enter only numbers. Symbols (such as $), commas, and decimals are automatically added, based on the settings configured for the Siebel Server. In its default configuration, Siebel Wireless allows only whole currency (for example, dollars) and not fractional currency (such as cents) to be entered, except for Banking and Brokerage (see Entering Currency in Banking and Brokerage).

Entering Currency in Banking and Brokerage

You can enter fractional currency data into currency fields in Siebel Wireless Banking and Brokerage. For example, you can enter dollars and cents into the Amount fields for paying bills and transferring funds. You must switch from Characters to Numbers each time you enter currency values on the wireless device.

Currency symbols and commas are accepted when you enter the amount, but they are not displayed after the value is entered. A decimal point is required for fractional currency values, and it is displayed after the value is entered. If you mistakenly enter an alphabetic character between two digits in the number, an error message appears on the device with instructions for changing the entry. Alphabetic characters before or after a number are ignored.

If you encounter difficulty with fractional currency, contact your systems administrator to verify that the field is properly configured.
