Concept: Currency Field Display

Concept: Currency Field Display

You can display currency fields in several reporting, formatting, and web service options.

Currencies and Formatting Options

Formatting options are independent of currency codes. Example: You select a formatting option of
#,##0.00
, Workday determines what decimal and thousands separators to display based on the currency code.

Currencies and Web Services

When you enable a report as a web service, the web service output doesn't include the currency symbol or formatting. On the
Columns
tab, you can select
Show Currency Code Column
from the
Options
prompt to display the currency code in the web service output. Example:
<wd:Budget_Amount>1500</wd:Budget_Amount> <wd:Actual_Amount wd:Currency_Code="USD">1200</wd:Actual_Amount>

User's Preferred Currency

You can display the user's preferred currency as a separate column in a report. Create a convert currency calculated field with the
Users Preferred Currency
global field.
