Defining Currency Codes

The currency page allows you to define display options related to currency codes that are used by your system. Use Admin Menu > Currency Code to define the currency codes in which financial information is denominated.

Description of Page

Enter a unique Currency and Description for the currency.

Use Currency Symbol to define the character that prefixes currency amounts in the system (e.g., $ for U.S. dollars).

Enter the number of Decimals that will appear in the notation for the currency. For example, there are two decimal positions for Australian dollars ($5.00), but no decimal positions in the Italian lira (500 L).

The Currency Position indicates whether the currency symbol should be displayed as a Prefix or a Suffix to the currency amount. For example, the US Dollar symbol is a prefix before the amount ($5.00) and the French franc symbol is a suffix after the amount (200.00FF).
