Currency and decimal points

Hi, I have a simple spreadsheet where I'm entering dollar amounts. I'd like to format the cells so that if I type, 1636, the result will be $16.36. I've already got the cells set to currency, but I can't figure out how to get Numbers to auto-add the cents decimal point if I don't manually add it myself.
It's probably pretty easy, but I've looked around the forum for answers and I can't figure this out myself. Help is appreciated.
Andy

Hi Andy,
Numbers doesn't support converting the value entered into a cell into a different value in the same cell.
You can do the conversion in a second cell, using a formula:
C2: =IF(LEN(B2)>0,B2/100,"")

Printed cheque - comma and decimal point

Hi,
My company use pre-printed cheque to make payment. However, there is some error with the printed cheque. When printed, the decimal point and the comma is somehow mixed out.
For example, amount of $1,300.50   -   will appears as $1.300,50
Why is this so ? How do I recrtify the problem ? It only happens to some cheque. Some are ok.
Thanks.

Comma and Decimal point

Hi Gurus,
I am encountering a problem regarding printout of our SOA
Instead of the standard format of the total value (comma then decimal point (ex. 2,559.62)) output is (decimal point then comma(ex. 2.559,62)). This always happens to a particular customer only. What should I do?
Regards,
Jay

Hi,
The decimal notation of numbers in Visual Composer is based on the Locale as set in the Portal
(User Administration -> select user (or group) -> Language)
if language is not set, it's based on IE language, and afterwards on the OS language.
therefore, setting a number field formatting to "LOCALE_NUM" or checking the "Local Format" checkbox in the field's formatting tab, will cause the runtime to format the number according to the above.
Your customer is probably currently on a non US locale.
Best Regards,

Labview Database Connection Toolkit and decimal point

Hi,
on my system I use "," (comma) as decimal point.
In Labview Options I unflagged "Use localized decimal point", and numeric controls and indicators use "." (dot) as decimal point.
The problem is that Labview Database Connection Toolkit keeps returning floating point numbers as strings with comma as decimal point.
Has anyone experienced this issue?
Is this related to Labview or MySQL ODBC Connector (that I'm using to connect to a mySQL DB)?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Marco

You have two or three places to look. First there is the DCT. Second, there's a couple layers there that could cause problems (the mySQL drivers and ADO) and then there's even the posibility that the issue could be in the DBMS itself.
I would start by burrowing down through all the DCT layers and find the spot where the results are actually being read back fromt he database. If the resutls are read as variants and converted to LV datatypes, the problem is on the LV side. If the values are being read as strings and converted, the problem coiuld be on the other side.

Currency and decimal

Hi,
First, I need to know what is the max value I can go if my field type 'CURR' with length '11' and decimal '2'.
Second, I have 2 types of field;
DATA: F1 LIKE ekpo-netpr,
F2(16) TYPE p DECIMALS 5.
If F1 = 500.00, and F2 = F1 * 1000. How the system calculates F2 since both have different length & decimals?
Rgds,
Haryati

P has a length of (2n - 1), where n is the specified length. This is different than a data domain of type CURR defined with an output length, since that length is the actual character length (although CURR is internally type P).
If you have a data type P defined with a length of 11 and decimal 2 means: 2(11) - 1 = 21 digits (excludes the comma). The one that is subtracted is to store the sign (+/-). This means a max value of 9999999999999999999.99
When you do a calculation where the decimals differ, internally the calculation uses the maximum precision, but when it is represented it will round to the specified decimal length - which is in your case 5 decimals. (eg. 32.342321 will round to 32.34232).

Formatting currencies and decimal places

I'm currently using NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance() to format numbers as currency. However, one problem I'm having is that I'd like values with no cents to be formatted with no decimal places, and any values with cents to be formatted with the usual 2 decimal places. For example:
17 would be formatted as $17
17.45 would be formatted as $17.45
17.4 would be formatted as $17.40
The last one is the tricky part--I've tried formatter.setMinimumFractionDigits(0), and this works great for the first two cases. But for the last case, the number gets formatted as $17.4.
Basically my problem is I want a number to be formatted with zero or two decimal places and nothing in between. Is there an easy way to do this?
Thanks in advance.

Otherwise you are likely to find that you are getting .00 due to errors from previous calculations. You are right. Adjusted it to Locale aware

Currency tables that stores description of currency after decimal points.

Hi ,
I need table that stores description of currency
for example : for INR its Rupees and paise...
I need table that stores paise,Cents for Dollars etc..
Table TCURC will show Rupees, Dollars...but doesnt show paise,,cents etc..
Thanks in advance
Kashyap.

hi,
you can get number of decimals for currency from TCURX table.
To read them in program use SPELL_AMOUNT function module.

Currency Decimal Points - Urgent

Hi,
I am facing a serious problem with currency decimal points. Unfortunately "Currency code" has been deleted from where we can maintain currency decimal points in OY04 Tcode and the currency code was maintained by zero decimal places. Before deleting the Currency from decimal points the document currency was showing $1000.00 which is correct. But after deleting Currency Code from OY04 Tcode the same amount is showing $100000 by combining decimals.
I have again given same Currency Code in same transaction code. But still it is showing ($100000) the amount by combing the decimals.
Please help me
Thanks
Ravindra

You said someone "unfortunately" deleted an entry from table TCURX. Has that someone seen all the following WARNINGS given by SAP!!!
In a productive system, you must not delete the currencies in use or change the decimal places. This could make amounts in documents already posted incorrect or invalid.
Before you continue, please read the following text carefully. If you do not heed this note, you can cause irreparable damage to the system with this transacton. In the R/3 System tables currency fields are stored as decimal figures with a variable number of decimal places. The decimal point is not stored in the field in the database. Instead, each currency field refers to a currency key field. In this transaction you assign the number of decimal places to this currency key uniquely. Example: If you have set currency USD to have two decimal places and you post an amount of 100 USD, an amount of 10000 USD is stored in the currency field in the database. Not until this amount is processed further or is output does the system use the currency key from the reference field to determine the number of decimal places via this table. In this way the table content can be interpreted correctly for further processing or formatted for output with the correct punctuation. If after posting you changed the number of decimal places for USD, for example, to 3, the existing field content of 10000 would be interpreted for futher processing or output as 10 USD (10.000). This would mean that the contents of tables across the system would, for all currency fields containing an amount in USD, be interpreted incorrectly by 10 per cent. To
change the number of decimal places for a currency already in use, you must convert all the tables in the R/3 System that contain
currency fields, so that the data integrity remains. This cannot, however, for both organizational reasons and under the runtime aspect be carried out in a productive system. The following changes to the TCURX table can thus lead to the loss of data integrity if you
make the changes in a productive system or transport them into a productive system:
o Change to the number of decimal places of an existing currency
o Deletion of an entry from the TCURX table (corresponds to changing the decimal places to the standard value of two decimal places)
o Insertion of an entry in the TCURX (corresponds to changing the standard value of 2 decimal places to a different value), if this is a currency code that already exists Uncritical changes are any made to this table during the Customizing of a new installation or the insertion of TCURX even during operations, if the currency codes have just been entered in the TCURC table using transaction OY03, signifying that no postings to these currency codes can have been carried out yet.
Do you want to change the decimal places despite all recommendations?

JPY Currency With Decimal upto 2,3 Decimal

Dear Expertise
How to handle the Currnecy in JPY with upto 2 decimal
i need it IN PO with upto 2 Decimal like price is 34.68 JPY.
Hows Its Possible !
Rgds
Pankaj Agarwal

Dear Pankaj,
The correct transaction to set the cdecimal for urrency was OY04.
However, normally this need to take place at very beginning of your system implementation
as it was not good to adjust it later on as this might create inconsistency in your system
if you already had existing purchasing document.
You still can try to change it but i will advice you to make it at test system and see if the result
was ok. Also, I just want to tell you normally JPY don't use decimal place as the currency was
too small and decimal point of 2 actually was no meaning and in standard system normally we use
it without decimal places compare to USD where the currency was big.
Hope this information will help,

Setting decimal point to "," instead of "."

Hello
Can any body tell me how to set format for numeric amount in order to have
Decimal point set to "," instead of "." and thousount separator set to
blank instead of comma in HTMLDB
thank

When you create an application, you can select the language of the application.
Select the language which uses the convention you want, e.g., French (France).
You can select the application language at:
Home > Application Builder, Select "Create"
Home > Create Applicaiton, Navigate Method > Name > Pages > Tabs > Shared Components > Attribute
Once the application is created, you can specify the number format on the number type column in each page. Select the one that uses group separator and decimal point, for example, 999G999G999G999G990D00.
You can specify the number format at:
Home > Application Builder> your application > Page Definition > Report Attributes > Column Attributes

Dynamic displaying of decimal points for currency field in ALV

Hi,
        In ALV output there is a currency field and displaying data of different countries. It should display decimal point according to the country's currency. But at a time it can display data of different countries.

Hi Dilip,
I think your question is about currencies with different number of digits after decimal point. If you have the currency field in the ALV row, you have to give it's name as currency reference for the value field in the field catalog.
After creating the field catalog, call a form and do something like this (change fielnames accordingly).
<pre>
*&      Form alv_fieldcat_enhance
      Individual Enrichment of field catalog
FORM alv_fieldcat_enhance
CHANGING pt_alv_fieldcat TYPE slis_t_fieldcat_alv.
FIELD-SYMBOLS:
    <alv_fieldcat> TYPE slis_fieldcat_alv.
LOOP AT pt_alv_fieldcat ASSIGNING <alv_fieldcat>.
    IF <alv_fieldcat>-fieldname(5) = 'KBETR' OR
       <alv_fieldcat>-fieldname(5) = 'SKBTR' OR
       <alv_fieldcat>-fieldname(5) = 'DMBTR'.
Company code currency
      <alv_fieldcat>-cfieldname = 'BWAER'.

    ELSEIF <alv_fieldcat>-fieldname(5) = 'KWERT' OR
            <alv_fieldcat>-fieldname    = 'NETWR' OR
            <alv_fieldcat>-fieldname    = 'NPAX_MWST_AMNT'.

Increasing currency from 2 to 3 decimal points

Dear all,
I would like to know how to make the currency view in the expense report increased from 2 to 3 decimal points as km/miles rate we have here is $0.335 per mile. Also the USD is used for 5 other countries. As of now it is showing as 0.34, however this is a manipulation of actual data, Ex. for 10 kms it shows rate 0.34 x miles 10 = $3.35.
Any quick response would be of great help.
Regards,
LN Bhattacharya

Yes this is a known issue as the problem is, that the USD is a currency with 2 decimals, but government allowes to reimburse 0.375 USD taxfree. The output on the travel form is in a single currency: the USD with 2 decimals. One workaround is to create a currency USDN for the decimilisation to work with 3 places - see the note 446116
A single expense category like miles per diems is calculated in accounting program RPRTEC00 and stored in one table (PAUFA for miles).
If currency in T706F (USDN) differs from trip currency (USD), RPRTECC00 converts the amounts from T706F into trip currency (done by FI-function 'CONVERT_TO_LOCAL_CURRENCY'). Amounts in the list are presented in this trip currency but rounding is possible with adjustment in V_T001R as PREC can handle this conversion with factors defined here.
Hope it helps!
Thanks

HUF Currency decimal points

Hello,
I have a shopping cart that was created for 2200 EUR however a vendor that has a currency of HUF was used as the assigned source of supply, causing the currency amount to change to 606,983 HUF. When the PO replicated to ECC it replicated with the 606,983.00 HUF dollar amount however the PO SmartForm printed out with 6,069.83 HUF. Our developer here mentioned that it has to do with the TCURX table holding HUF with 0 decimal points and that it should be changed to 2 decimal places. I am looking to see if anyone else has seen this issue and if there is a better way to resolve it other than changing the information held in the TCURX table.
Thanks,
Katherine Lee

Hi,
It looks just currency customizing. If HUF Hungarian Forint needs decimal point, please checnge the setting in the transaction OY04.

Do NOT display decimal points for 1 currency

Dear Friends,
i have a report which shows the revenue of all countries. we have a target currency (variable) in the report.if we give that target currency as EUR, it changes al currencies into EUR. similarly if we give USD, the report will change all currencies to USD with decimal points
But the requirement here is, for all other countries, the decimal points shud get displayed for the revenue, but only for Korea curreny (WON) the decimal points shud not be dispayed.
in the table TCURC, for Korea it is maintained as " whole numbers only ".
is there a way to achieve this??
Rgds.,
ASha

Hi Yogesh,
Thank you for ur reply.
in the report, i have 10 keyfigures. 4 are being picked up from the report and they have currency translation variable. The rest 6 are formulas. On these formulae, i restricted the decimal display to "nothing defined". it works fine for all the 6 formulae. for WON it does NOT show decimals and for the rest of the currencies, it shows decimals.
but how this can be achieved on the 4 direct keyfigures??
Rgds.,
