Thanks for the quick response.I did search and googled it.Am still not clear.Like in the example i saw they use the same table name for the reference table and CURRENCY for the reference field (The table field is currency type) .Am really confused.

The reference field is used for the output, the output/input format of a currency field & Quantity field depends on the value of its reference field

Hi,

The currency and quantity field always require a reference table and field so that they can be entered in correct format.

Whenever you use currency and quantity field while creating the table you need to provide their respective reference field and table.

whenever you use currency and quantity in scripts or smart forms you again have to receive their value using variables referring to their reference table and reference field.

hope it must have cleared some of your doubts.

Thanks,
