Customizing Currency Formats
You can customize the formats for the currency or currencies you use in your account at the company level, per currency, and per customer record. To view or edit a currency record, go to Lists > Accounting > Currencies and click the Name link.
Customized currency formats apply to currency fields displayed on screen including viewing forms, editing and creating new forms, list pages, search results, and printed documents. Customized currency formats are not reflected in reports or CSV import and export results.
When customizing a currency format, you can set the symbol to use, include text and spaces, or use no symbol. You can also set whether to place the symbol before or after the number. The Symbol and Symbol Placement fields appear when you check the Override Currency Format box.
The symbol position you select in the Symbol Placement field appears only on transaction records. It does not appear on reports.
You can customize currency formats if you have a single currency account and if you use the Multiple Currencies feature.
