How to display currency symbol

If some attribute of a business object represents currency, then you may want to display the value of the attribute with the currency symbol in front of the value – for example, $400. To do this define the attribute to be of the Number type and add the currency symbol to the format of the number – for example, “$#” - see “Attributes of Number Type”, Appendix C. The value of the attribute will be displayed with the currency symbol on all forms. If you want to display the currency symbol only in certain reports or presentations, you should not change the format of the attribute, but instead include the currency symbol inside the tags of the reports or presentations, for example:

<<Account.Balance, $#.00>>
