Working with Currencies

You can define monetary denominations throughout the application. For example, you can designate the costs of your service requests in a specific currency, such as USD or Euros. The Service Request workspace does not show a specific currency symbol, but only the number value. However, the pricing is calculated based on the currency that you specify.

Many functions support currency expressions, enabling you to customize saved searches, quick actions, and workflows.

How currency works:

Empty currency fields appears as zeros, such as 0.00.

You cannot mixed currency types. For example, if you have an initial price in USD, you cannot designate the recurring price in a different currency.

Values are rounded up (>=5) or down (<5).
