Online Currency Defaults

When you enter a monetary value, you must also enter a currency code. You can change the default currency codes.

Currency defaults can come from operator preference, element definition, or pay entity. Operator preference refers to the EXCHNG_TO_CUR field on the Operator Defaults Table — HR record (OPR_DEF_TBL_HR). It is set on the Operator Preferences page. The record is not effective-dated. The pay entity record and the element definition record are effective-dated.

This table lists the currency code defaults and the as of date used:
