Locale Format of Client

Clients from different countries are very likely to have different locale formats. There is no need to change your own locale format each time you need to print an invoice for a client with a locale format different from yours.

To have invoices to clients printed according to their own Regional and Language options (normally defined in the Windows Control Panel), TO3000 3D+ can use separate locale formats for each of your clients.

The following locale settings can be configured:

Negative Currency Format — these settings determine how negative amounts of money are displayed. For example, in some countries a negative amount is indicated with a "minus" put before number: -100.00. In other countries a negative amount must be written in parentheses: (100.00).

Decimal Symbol — this is the character which separates decimals from the rest of the number. You can type the required character directly into the drop-down list. Any character you type will be added to the list for later use.

No. of digits after Decimal — TO3000 3D+ will round up all numbers in the documents to a number of decimals specified here. Set this parameter to 0 if the currency of a client does not have decimal units. Most commonly the number of digits after decimal is set to 2.

Digit Grouping Symbol — this is the symbol which will be inserted between each three digits in the number, for example in the following number 1 000 000 the digit grouping symbol is a whitespace.

Date Separator — enter the character to separate day, month and year in dates when it is displayed in short format. For example in the following date 3,31,2008 the date separator character is a comma. Settings in the Date Separator field will be automatically applied to the Short Date Format field.

Short Date Format — this is format for the short date display (like 3,31,2008). Enter the required date format into this field or select one of the available formats using the drop-down list. Use d to indicate the day, m – for the month, and y – for the year. The date separator characters can be entered manually in this field too. Otherwise the settings from the Date Separator field will be applied.

Long Date Format — these settings configure the display of the long date (like Monday, March 31, 2008). Use four d character to display the day of the week's name, four m characters – to display the month and y to display the year.

NOTE: To display an abbreviated day or month name ("Mon" instead of "Monday" or "Mar" instead of "March") enter 3 d or 3 m characters instead of four.

NOTE: Full day or month names can be displayed in the short date format by typing 3 or 4 characters in the Short Date Format field.
