A field containing currency amounts (data type CURR) must be assigned a reference field including the currency key (data type CUKY).

A field containing quantity specifications (data type QUAN) must be assigned a reference field including the associated quantity unit (data

type UNIT).

When defining QUAN and CURR fields in a table, you should go to the "Currency/quant. fioelds" tab to give the CUCY or UNIT field that is needed to handle formatting, conversion and sums.

The unit or currency can be in any table, usually on the table itself, on an header table or on a table used in foreign keys.

Chk this PDFdocument.

Reference field and reference table Page 15: You must specify the table field in which the corresponding unit of measure or currency can be found for fields containing quantities (data type QUAN) or currency amounts (data type CURR).

For Currency--->WAERK <Makes it Country and Currency dependent of that country and also Defines its Representation>

For Quantity----> MEINS <Conversion According to Country>

When u enter the AMOUNT, the CURRENCY must be given. For example, if u give 1000 for amount, but it should know whether it refers to Rupees or Doller or Pound. So for CURR, the CUKY(Currecy Key) must be given.

Similary, when you enter a QUANTITY, say 1000, we should specify the UNIT for this. Whether it refers to METRE, or CENTIMETRE or any other unit. So, for QUAN, we should specify the UNIT in the Currency/Quantity field.
