Date and Number Formats and Customer Specific Currency
This article describes the process to manage currency values and number formats by customer in Demand Planning. This is applicable to companies running DemandCaster across multiple locations across the globe. This supplements the current currency and number format settings managed in DemandCaster's company settings.
To enable this feature, please contact DemandCaster support.
Company Settings
The base number and currency formats are managed in company settings.
- Culture sets the number format, date format, and currency symbol format in DemandCaster as a default.
- Upload culture changes the date format of the upload. The numbers format is the same as the company culture.
- Numbers formatting adds an option that overrides all the different number formats with a single number format across all of DemandCaster. This separates the currency symbol from the number format - similar to how excel works. In Excel, the spreadsheet has a default number format however the symbol can change from cell to cell.
For numbers formatting, the option "Taken from culture, uses the number format related to the culture setting. The remaining options override the number format.
