| # To define format codes A format code represents a format type that is used for a category of prices and amounts. Start the Formats (ttadv4585m000) session in BAAN Tools to list the predefined format codes in ERP LN. You use the format codes to specify formats with different degrees of precision for one currency when it is used for different purposes. Example In a specific currency you want to register and display: Prices with two decimals Rates as whole numbers All other amounts with one decimal To define the formats, take the following steps: Define the currency as a generic unit in the Generic Units (ttaad1106m000) session. Define the currency in the Currencies (tcmcs0102m000) session. Select the format code for prices (003) in the Formats by Generic Unit (ttaad1107m000) session and then select the currencies' generic unit. Specify a format with two decimals. Select the format codes for rates (001, 002, 400, in turn) in the Formats by Generic Unit (ttaad1107m000) session, then select the currencies' generic unit. Specify a format with no decimals. Specify a format with one decimal for the currencies' generic unit for all other format codes. As a result, the users can enter prices with up to two decimals, rates in whole numbers only, and other amounts with one decimal. ERP LN also calculates prices up to two decimal places.
