  • In reports, the currency field data will be displayed as per its display format.
  • The display format will also be applied when you print a report or record, or export them as a PDF or HTML file.
  • When currency field’s  Display format  property is set with the value  Default :
    • No formatting will be applied when your users enter data in the currency field
