Top  Previous  Next

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

To have invoices to clients printed according to their own Regional and Language options (normally defined in Windows Control Panel), TO3000, Version 9.0 can use separate locale format 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 negative amount is indicated with a "minus" put before number: -100.00. In other countries negative amount must be written in brackets: (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 DecimalTO3000, Version 9.0 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 number of digits after decimal is 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 digit grouping symbol is space.

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

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

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