Maintaining Currency Tables
Currency code pages define each currency that you use. To meet your multicurrency requirements, PeopleSoft software supports the euro and delivers the Currency Code table with many common ISO standard currencies. The table also supports the ISO standard of zero, two, and three decimal positions. This section discusses how to use the Currency Code component (CURRENCY_CD_TBL) and the Currency Codes (Euro) component (CURRENCY_EURO) to maintain currency tables.

Description |
|---|---|
Currency Symbol |
Enter symbols for delivered currencies or for currencies that you might add. PeopleSoft software delivers many currencies with a currency symbol such as $ for Australian dollar (AUD) or £ for British pound (GBP). |
Country |
Select the code for the country from which the currency originates. |
Decimal Positions |
Enter the number of decimal positions that should appear in the notation for the currency. For example, there are two decimal positions for Australian dollars (500.00 AUD), but no decimal positions for Japanese yen (500 JPY). |
Scale Positions |
Enter the scale positions you want to round for this currency. This controls how many numbers appear to the left of the decimal when displayed. The data is actually stored with full precision in the database itself. For example, if you want all million-dollar amounts displayed as the number of millions without the zeros, enter 6 as your scale position. In this case, 24,000,000 is displayed as 24, but is stored in the database as 24,000,000. |
Note: PeopleSoft software delivers fully populated country, state, and province code tables and updates these tables as national boundaries and designations change.
Use the Currency - Euro Participating page (CURRENCY_EURO) to set the status of currencies defined as euro participating to active or inactive.

Enter currencies in the process of being replaced by the euro or in process of being replaced by the euro for countries newly participating in the euro and select the Status Active.
Note: Do not attempt to modify the currency quotation methods for currencies that are linked to the euro.
