Currency Unicode Maintenance

Use Currency Unicode Maintenance to establish the relationship between the currency codes in QAD EA and the currency symbols displayed in QAD CSS.

The currency symbols are represented by hexadecimal codes for the character set of the appropriate language. The hexadecimal for the same currency symbol can be different across character sets. The ISO currency symbols may not match the currency codes in QAD EA.

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Web site lists the most current world currency abbreviations for the ISO 4217 character set. You can access the Web site at:

http://www.iso.ch

Important: You should use the codes as defined by QAD EA.

International organizations should take into account the likelihood of their customers not having the appropriate display translators.

The registry setting useCurrencyUnicode determines whether the system looks for a hexadecimal unicode associated with the currency for this user session in Currency Unicode Maintenance. If one has been defined, it is displayed before the price amounts. If useCurrencyUnicode is No, nothing displays before the price. However, the system always displays the currency code after the price.

Example: A hexadecimal value is associated with USD in Currency Unicode Maintenance; $ displays before the price and USD after it.
