Specifying a Currency or Quantity Reference 

Use

In the ABAP Dictionary, you can assign a currency or quantity field to a table field. In the output of these fields, the system can then insert the relevant currency or unit:

·        If the value field is in the same table as the corresponding currency or quantity field, the system recognizes the reference automatically, and formats the value field according to the currency or unit in the assigned field.

·        If the value field is in a different table from the currency or quantity field, the system cannot recognize this reference automatically.

In the second case, you must indicate this reference to the system in the form, to ensure that the value field is formatted correctly.

Procedure

You want to assign a currency or quantity field in one table (for example, CURTAB) to a value field in another table (for example, VALTAB).

...

       1.      Create the reference to the currency field by entering the following values:

-         Field Name: VALTAB-VALUE, if this is the value field of VALTAB that you want to display.

-         Reference Field: CURTAB-CURRENCY, which is the currency field of CURTAB.

       2.      Under Data Type, specify whether the data type is a currency or quantity.

Result

In the output of the PDF-based print form, the system formats the value field VALTAB-VALUE according to the assigned value in the currency or quantity field of the global variable CURTAB-CURRENCY.
