Money Fields

Money fields for an object contain monetary values in a given currency. The currency property defines the currency used for all the money fields for this object.

If a currency is not set for the object, money fields for an object contain monetary values in the default currency for your company's SuiteProjects Pro account.

For Ticket objects, the currency can be set to the three-letter code of any currencies supported by SuiteProjects Pro. All SuiteProjects Pro accounts include the capability to create expense receipts in any of the supported currencies even if all your business transactions are done in the default currency for your company's SuiteProjects Pro account.

For other objects of other types:

Note:

There are three object types you can use in the XML API and SOAP API to interact with foreign currency exchange information:

  • Use the Currency object to set or read custom exchange rates. This is the equivalent of reading or setting custom exchange rates in Administration > Global Settings > Organization > Currencies > Set Exchange Rate when using the SuiteProjects Pro UI. The exchange rates in the Currency object and in the currency table are quoted against the default currency for the account. The default currency for the company's SuiteProjects Pro account is defined by the base_currency property for the Company object.

  • Use the Currencyrate to read current or historical exchange rates used for the account.

  • Use the ForexInput object to add or modify entries in the exchange cross rate table when the Multicurrency feature is enabled for your company's account. Make sure you review the Usage Guidelines for the ForexInput object. This is the equivalent of editing exchange cross rates using the Edit Exchange Cross Rates in the SuiteProjects Pro UI.
