Currency symbol - default

Hi there,
I have installed iWork 09 and am using the inbuilt templates. The default monetary symbol is the UK Pound Sterling sign (GBP). If I cut and paste a Euro symbol into the 'cell', once I leave it, the Euro symbol disappears and is replaced by the default GBP symbol. Is there any way to either stop this from happening or telling the system that I want to us another currency symbol?
Thank you for your help.

Select the cell/s > Inspector > Table > Format > Cell Format > Currency > Symbol: Euro

Currency Symbol displays correctly locally, but not when I deploy to server

Hi have some number fields, where I set the control hint on the view to Currency format. When I run locally, everything displays properly: $1,234.56
But when I deploy my application to our development server, the $ is coming up as a ¤1,234.56. This happens to all my currency fields, not matter what object is displaying it.
I've seen one other post that talks about using a numberConverter tag everytime I display the values, but I'd prefer to stick with "best practice" of using the control hints. Especially since it works fine locally, I have to think this is some sort of server side setting that I am missing. Does anyone have any idea what might be happening here?

The ¤ symbol is a "neutral" currency symbol, it is used if no locale can be determined (no matter if you are using control hints or converters). Try setting a default local to your application on the faces-config.xml file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>
<faces-config version="1.2" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee">
<application>
    <default-render-kit-id>oracle.adf.rich</default-render-kit-id>
    <locale-config>
      <default-locale>en</default-locale>
      <supported-locale>en</supported-locale>
    </locale-config>
</application>
</faces-config>Hope this helps.

Display Currency Symbol disabled, but symbol prints if currency in a text formula. Why?

Our Crystal Report displays money fields (from our SQL database).
Our Crystal Reports Designer has the Display Currency Symbol feature disabled by default when writing reports.
On one report we have a Sell_Amount currency field to display:
We have this Sell_Amount field directly on the report in one section.
We also have this Sell_Amount field in a formula for printing in a different section. This formula is defined as a text field as it will either display 'No Charge' or the Sell_Amount based on a condition, such as: If {NoCharge} Then 'No Charge' Else ToText(Sell_Amount)
When viewing this report on our development machine in Crystal Designer, the Currency Symbol does not show for either the Sell_Amount field that is directly on the report or for the Sell_Amount that is in the formula (I am guessing because we have the Display Currency Symbol disabled).
When viewing on a runtime machine (no Designer, just runtime components), the formula (if NoCharge = False) displays the Sell_Amount (in the formula) WITH the currency symbol, but the Sell_Amount that is directly on the report (not in the formula) does not display the currency symbol. Why?
This has been an issue ever since were were on Crystal 8 way back when. We have never found (nor asked) for a reason, but now we need to know the reason/rules, etc. for this. We are currently on Crystal 2008 SP6 (Designer) and deploying Crystal Reports Developer for Microsoft Visual Studio SP6 runtime components. As I said, this has been an issue for years, but we now need an explanation. I have not been able to locate one on the site anywhere. Can you please explain the rules of Currency Symbol in this scenario?
Thank you.

Hi NB,
I did say to use the Advanced editor but I did not say to use it for attaching the report...
So to be clear here is what I see in the report Designer ( I put the formula into text boxes also ):
For the NoDatabaseCurrency field you have to set the currency to Fixed, Floating will add a space:
Which is opposite of what you originally posted:
"...Our Crystal Reports Designer has the Display Currency Symbol feature disabled by default..."
It's not disabled by default, please explain?
As for using the CCUR() function the help file does show the Currency symbol is on by default:
Examples
The following examples are applicable to both Basic and Crystal syntax:
CCur (200.20)
In Crystal syntax this is equivalent to writing $200.20. In Basic syntax, CCur (200.20) is the way to directly create a Currency value of 200.20.
CCur ("$200.20")
Returns the Currency value CCur (200.20) given the String value "$200.20".
CCur ("two hundred dollars")
Causes an error to occur. The CCur function cannot convert the String "two hundred dollars" to a Currency value.
So if you mean you went into the Options menu and Fields, Currency and check off this option:
[Update] - After testing this a few times it does retain the Options, current, Display Currency Symbol, so creating a new report the option is unchecked.
You are correct, even though I checked it off when I create a new report the option is checked on and obviously it's still on for each field and object. This may be a bug, testing more and checking with a few more people and eventually R&D.
So please clarify the steps you are doing?
Make sure you are running CR Designer under local PC Admin rights, right click on the short cut and select run as Administrator or check this option on:
Thanks

How to set currency symbol correctly in crystal report

Hi all,
I am using the Crystal Report 2008, I have one issue regarding the currency symbol in the crystal report.
it seems the CrystalReport use the System Default currency symbol. e.g.
ProductA Cost: $1000
It displays,
ProductA Cost: £1000
in euro locale and $ in english locale
It doesn't make sense in business. The question is how do we set the currency symbol "$" to the report? I google some websites, the SetLocaleInfo may be one option, I would like to know the detail and if there are more solutions.
Thanks for your help

Before in our legacy application, we used Crystal Report 9 & VB
'Crystal Report Designer Components (RDC).
Set CrxApp As New CRAXDRT.Application
I can set the crxapp to nothing and recreate this design component.
Set CrxApp = nothing
After SetLocaleInfo, if we set the CrxApp to nothing, it will create the RDC and the currency symbol will be updated.
Now we are using Crystal Report 2008 and C#, the RDC is not supported in 2008
What can I do?
Any input is greatly appreciated.

Currency symbol not displayed

Hi All,
I am using crystalreports-javasdk-11.8.8 for generating Crystal Reports in java. We don't have any issue in generating reports but the generated reports contain doesn't contain the Currency symbol.
I have set the locale using below code.
reportClientDocument = new ReportClientDocument();
reportClientDocument.setLocale(Locale.getDefault());
reportClientDocument.open(reportFilePath, 0);
In the Report, the Numberic Format is System Default.
Currency Symbol is $
Questions:
1. Why Currency symbol is not dispalyed?
2. I have missed any configuration?
3. How the currency symbol is set based on the Locale?
Details:
Sql Server 2005 used. Database feild is Money.
Thanks for your reply in advance.

Currency symbols on crystal reports rather abbreviation

This may have been discussed before so my aplogise, i'm fairly new to SAP B1 & crystal so may need some simple instructions
I am editing the crystal Purchase Order and I have managed to replace foreign currency abbreviation such as EUR & USD with € and $ respectively but when the GBP abbreviation should be shown as £ it is not.
I believe it has something to do with the OPOR.DocCur which doesn't seem to be used on the purchase order when the business partner is Local Currency (GBP)
I used a case statement like below:
case "USD" : "$"
case "EUR : "€"
case "GBP" : "£"
default "£"
I also removed the case "GBP" : "£" but no joy GBP is showing when the purchase order uses a british business partner.
What am i doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Lan,
1.Follow as per Kalaiyarasan Veerasamy .
2.You have to give {OCRN.DocCurrCod} in Currency symbol formula editor.

Show Currency Symbol on Mac

hii
I have created a java application using swing. It takes the regional setting of system and based on it, it sets the currency symbol with price value. It works fine on Windows and Linux but When I try to run it on Mac, and I changed the regional setting to UK but It shows US currency symbol. Here is my code to get the currency symbol:
DecimalFormatSymbols objDecimalFormat;
objDecimalFormat = new DecimalFormatSymbols();
String mstrCurrSymbol = objDecimalFormat.getCurrencySymbol();Can anyone please tell me why is it not working on Mac.
Thanks in advance
Sonal

On MAC OS, when the jar file is run, it always detects the Locale as en_US and therefore shows the USD as currency and US English as default language. The code that we are running for testing is:
Locale lclLanguage;
lclLanguage = new Locale(Locale.getDefault().getLanguage(),Locale.getDefault().getCountry());
String strNumberFormat = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(lclLanguage).getCurrency().getSymbol(lclLanguage);
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Number format: " + strNumberFormat);
ResourceBundle rbLangBundle = null;
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Country: " + lclLanguage.getCountry() + "\r\n" + "Display country: " + lclLanguage.getDisplayCountry() + "\r\n" + "Display Language: " + lclLanguage.getDisplayLanguage() +
        "\r\n" + "Display name: " + lclLanguage.getDisplayName() + "\r\n" + "Display variant: " + lclLanguage.getDisplayVariant() + "\r\n" + "ISO3Country: " + lclLanguage.getISO3Country() + "\r\n" +
        "ISO3language: " + lclLanguage.getISO3Language() + "\r\n" + "Language: " + lclLanguage.getLanguage() + "\r\n" + "Variant: " + lclLanguage.getVariant());
rbLangBundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle("MessagesBundle", lclLanguage);
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "OS: " + System.getProperty("os.name"));
DecimalFormatSymbols objDecimalFormat;
objDecimalFormat = new DecimalFormatSymbols();
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Decimal symbol: " + objDecimalFormat.getCurrencySymbol() + "\r\n" +
        "Decimal separator: " + objDecimalFormat.getDecimalSeparator() + "\r\n" +
        "Grouping seperator: " + objDecimalFormat.getGroupingSeparator() + "\r\n" +
        "Percentage: " + objDecimalFormat.getPercent());
The code works fine on different regional settings on Windows machine. However while testing the same on MAC it will always show US English irrespective of what is set in the preferences section. We have about 10 language files which needs to be used based on the Locale that is set on the client’s machine.

Missing currency symbol: CHF

Hi - Has anyone figured out how to edit the list of currency symbols?
I need to write an invoice in Swiss Francs and all I get in the provided list is "SwF" (does anybody actually use that?) - the symbol I'm looking for reads "CHF". I'm hoping Apple will update that in the next version - but is there a possibility for me to enter a new symbol in the meantime?
Please do let me know if you hava an idea. Many thanks!

Update to my previous post:
After studying macfreek.nl's hint, messing around with various settings, figuring out how to escape non-printing Unicode characters, executing obscure Terminal commands, re-editing plist files (Pref Setter rules!) etc. etc., this is what I've found out:
• There was no way to change the default currency symbol in Numbers.app 1.0 from "SFr." to "Fr ", no matter what I did. I even searched inside the Numbers.app package, found nothing. (I didn't install Numbers.app 1.0.1 yet.)
The other things are actually slightly off-topic, i.e. not related to Numbers.app:
• Following the hints mentioned above it should be possible to change the currency symbol to "Fr " (or whatever) in most other applications. Just avoid to change your setting in the International PrefPane back to the default Swiss format.
• The cause of the "Leading zero for seconds missing" bug lies somewhere else than I thought, although I haven't found the exact cause. I have found a way how to avoid it, though: After you have set your time format in the International PrefPane to the default "Schweiz" format and you'd like to get rid of the ubiquitous and superfluous " Uhr" suffix, click on the button to adjust the time format, remove the "vorm." and "nachm." suffixes and don't change anything else in there.
To check if your Mac suffers the leading zero bug, launch Script Editor and paste the following code:
+tell current application+
repeat
+get current date+
+delay 1+
+end repeat+
+end tell+
Enable the Event Log and let the script run for a while, it will print the current time in the Event Log window every second. If the time you get is like "14:01:05", all is fine. If you get "14:01:5", there's the bug.
• Actually there was a bug in Swiss German Date formats, too, I just don't remember how to reproduce it anymore (I noticed it last year). All I recall is, that carbon apps weren't able to show a short date format like "29.9.07", they would always show the full year like "29.9.2007". I'm not sure what I've changed since then.
• When you set your Date format to Swiss German, for example FileMaker 9 reads the system date format as "29/09/2007" instead of "29.09.2007". Doesn't happen if you use the German German date/time/number formats.
I have written an AppleScript for my personal use to run a couple of "defaults write" Terminal commands to set quickly some of my favorite International number/time/currency formats in case they'd get lost again. I just need to tweak the script a bit more so it will give the average user more choices of what (s)he needs to change - since I don't expect everyone to like my personal Swiss formats...

Change Currency Symbol

Hi,
I have SAR as my default currency symbol, but in Project Center and other places, it is the unit is displayed in Arabic Translation instead of SAR, even if I change the symbol from project professional. Is there a way to change the symbol from Arabic translation

Thanks in advance

Changing Currency Symbol from the Menu bar to other than €

I use the Costa Rican colon symbol ¢ (in front of number) as a routine value, as well as the U.S. dollar symbol and it seems cumbersome to select the "Inspector" to make these alternate currency symbols (or any alternate to € symbol). Speaking of the Costa Rican colon, it is represented incorrectly anyway and I don't know how to change the symbol.
Also, in the pop-up menu of the "Inspector -- currency" all currency symbols show as € and only when a cell is clicked after selecting a currency symbol, does it appear in the cell (not correct, but at least something other than €.
This is my first hour of "playing with" Numbers. I hope it's not a sign of things to come.

There are many variations to the symbols used for currency worldwide, please, if yours is wrong let Apple know. The feedback option is under Numbers on the menu bar. This is a user to user forum provided by Apple, not run by them.
My symbol on the menu bar is $, which is correct and rather common worldwide, maybe a generic currency symbol is used for smaller areas of the world. I know I have the Australian flag rather than a New Zealand one on my menu bar for the international settings. We are obviously too small to have our own
You can show all currency options in the inspector by changing the Numbers preferences. A quick way of selecting the correct currency in the inspector is to open the list and type the first few letters.
I'd expect your default would be the same as you have set in the System Preferences > International.
You could also make a couple of templates for yourself in both currencies and use them instead.
Numbers is a neat piece of software, keep playing with it and you may well get to like it.

Changing currency symbols

I was wondering if anyone can help me with a problem I have changing the currency symbol OS X uses. In days gone by I used to be able to go in to the International preference pane and put in whatever currency symbol I liked. These days all I seem to be able to do is select my currency from a dropdown list.
My trouble is that here in Switzerland, the default currency symbol that this enters is SFr for Swiss Francs. In reality no-one uses that locally. It is either referred to as CHF or SwF. As most of the accounting apps I use take the default system currency symbol, I need to be able to change this to have invoices, etc properly formed.
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks.

You said:

Got it...no one uses SFr
It is either referred to as CHF or SwF.
Which I took to mean "referred to locally as..."
So, being able to use 'SwF', which is one of the choices and one of the local references, should solve your problem...no? You seemed to indicate clearly that you wanted either...not custom. Sorry I couldn't help.

Display Currency symbol with value in ALV Report

Hi Experts,
I need to display currency symbol with value in ALV Report like if currency type is dollar then $200.
Here I am using field catalog type slis_t_fieldcat_alv and suing field merge catalog FM: 'REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE'
I tried like this
    IF <fs_fieldcat>-fieldname = 'STPRS'.
      <fs_fieldcat>-seltext_s = 'Std Cost '.
      <fs_fieldcat>-seltext_m = 'Std Cost'.
      <fs_fieldcat>-seltext_l = 'Std Cost '
       <fs_fieldcat>-tabname = 'MBEW'.

      <fs_fieldcat>-cfieldname ='WAERS'.
      <fs_fieldcat>-datatype = 'CURR'.

Please let me know if there is any FM to convert USD to $ and also other country currency symbols. let me know if there are any standard tables in sap which are related to this.

Hi Venkat,
Check out this threads for further info.
Re: Table that keeps currency symbols like US $ etc... - Very urgent

As SAP doesn't maintain any such table, you need to hardcore it in the program or create a ztable for maintaining the known currencies by looking at TCURC.

i want to print the currency symbol with grant total based on the vendor currency.
pls hepl............

Hi,
think You can't print the symbols for currency like $ and Pound etc
see this doc if needed
A variable in SAPscript is called a symbol. There are the following types.
System symbol (e.g. the number of the current page)
Standard symbol (usable in any document)
Program symbol (value from the print program)
Text symbol (local variable)
The value of a symbol is text for using within SAPscript code and is represented by the symbol-name enclosed by ampersands. On seeing the tell-tale ampersands in SAPscript code, you sometimes need to figure out the symbol type.
goto any PAGEWINDOW's Text elements in Script (SE71)
from the Menu-> INSERT-> Symbols
you find all symbols here
System symbols
System symbols in a SAPscript form are comparable to system fields like SY-UZEIT in an ABAP program, and include these. The graphical editor offers three types of system symbol.
1. General system symbols
See the table TTSXY. PAGE is the most widely used. The list given in our BC460 training manuals is out of date.
2. SAPscript system symbols
See the dictionary structure SAPSCRIPT. SAPSCRIPT-FORMPAGES is the most widely used.
3. ABAP system symbols
For the ABAP system field SY-UNAME, say, the symbol is SYST-UNAME. http://SYST is the dictionary structure for ABAP system fields.
Sample code:
User: &SYST-UNAME&
Page &PAGE& of &SAPSCRIPT-FORMPAGES(C3)&
Standard symbols
Standard symbols are maintained centrally (in the table TTDTG via transaction SE75) for use in any document. Menu path:
Tools
Form Printout
Administration
Settings
Some standard symbols are SAP-standard and others are custom. Curiously, table TTDTG is cross-client although SAPscript forms are not.
The value of a standard symbol has to be defined for each language used. This gives a way to make a single SAPscript form multi-lingual.
We can take advantage to an extent of the central maintenance, though there is no guarantee that the available standard symbols will used in every appropriate context.
Standard symbols complicate searching a SAPscript form, since text like Charity registration 211581 may be hiding in a standard symbol.
Text symbols
A text symbol is declared and assigned to within the SAPscript code, and so obviously applies only to the current document. The command DEFINE is used, requiring /: in the tag column, as in the following examples.
/: DEFINE &COMP_NAME& = University of Warwick
/: DEFINE &WS_RATE& = &TAX_SUMM_C&
