in a Multi-finance single-logistic setup, same currency is required to display differently in europe and in US; For example, in a finance report, europe may want to see as 10,000 and Europe wants to view same amount as 10.000 for same currency code.

How can this be handled? Changing generic format will reflect in all finance companies. Customising form may not be an option either as Form in same package VRC will be same for all companies linked to same package combination. Maybe it is a silly question, but would be very nice if someone tells me if there is an option in baan to handle this - maybe user-specific display or company specific display. Thanks.

Hi,

You can customize the company parameter session, wherein you can add field to store the Thousand sign (in this case, it is a comma).
Now in the report, you can store the amount to be displayed in a string variable and then you can read data from the Company Parameter session and you can add this new field in the string variable at the specified position. Thus you can have different formats for different companies which are on the same VRC.

On Baan 4 I don't think there is an easy way to do this without customising.

For forms, we just live with it!

For some reports, e.g. sales invoices, I have modified the report script so that depending on the customer country the decimal and thousands separators can be either , or . Comma or dot. Much as the previous post said.
