Currency Symbol Removal

[Former Member]

Is there a way to remove the currency symbol at Default level from all Documents and Reports. I have GBP in front of all amounts in all Screen forms and reports and I would prefer not to have this because it takes up space on the screen and is not neccessary.

If the answer is negative to the above question, then can I replace the GBP to the £ sign

Thank you

Robert

Robert,

Your options are available in Administration > Setup > Financials > Currencies

Also, optionally you can choose to display the symbol on the right

Administration > System Initialization > General Settings > Display

What is the action I need to take in Setup/Financial/Currency.

I can see the GBP listed but I cannot see an option to Disply or not. Do I need to Delete this currency line??

Thanks

Robert,

You could try to press shift+4 in the code of the Setup/Financial/Currency to input the symbol $ in the column code. This is for example. In the currency, you input the currency name, the other setting is as same as demo database currency setting method/way. Then go to company details and choose the currency according to your need. Then update it. You could see the result by open one of marketing document. I have tested and I can replace the USD --> $

Thanks Jimmy, What I really want is NO currency symbol at all. Do you know how to achieve this?

Thank up

Robert,

I don't think currency symbol can be completely eliminated.

Hi,

this seems to be a hiding of currency.

I am not sure if there is a setup to resolve this issue. Maybe you could use SDK UI API addon to hide currency code or sysbol in the documents

Thanks jimmy, probably you are right that there is no way of doing this. Hiding it with UI API may be a long job because the currency symbols appear everywhere and the look messy on the screen and in reports. I am not sure why are they there in the first place, particularly when one operates in one country and everybody knows the currency.

However the main reason for not showing this is the space they take up on the screen when one needs maximum number of colums accross the page, for instance the Budget Report which has lots of columns accross to show 12 months budget.

I wonder if you know how to change the GBP to the £ sign?

thanks

Thanks SUDA, that is a shame, it is messy and not neccessary...

maybe SAP will look at this "cosmetic" need in the future.

Hi,

You can remove the GBP in PLD using Substringoption in formula

Substring will remove this from some fields in reports but it does not help my issue which is the Visual on my screen.

Thanks

I will try to get a answer on this from Product development.

Any progress on this requirement? I am also looking for a parameterized solution for the same requirement.

Robert, you can also use the ToNumber formula in the PLD to suppress the currency symbol from being printed all over the PLD document.

Because SAP B1 is foreign currency enabled, its very important to show the currency symbol on every transaction field to reduce the number of data entry errors.

Thanks Davinder

My main requirement is a visual one on the screen and the PLD options of "removing" the currency do not help with this.

You are saying that SAP is foreign currency enabled programme so you need to see the currency displayed - are you really saying that you want to see this a few hudred times in an invoice or in a document, since SAP repeats this symbol against every transaction shown in every column? In any case all I am saying is that this should be an option and not a default. In my view displaying the Currency once in a document is enough and there is no need to "repeat the obvious"
