# Money

The Currency Value Set and Value Source must be selected for the Money Characteristic to work.

This field also presents a currency conversion from the selected currency to the company's default currency.\
\
The expected format of the value entered is a standard number with decimal. The full decimal entered is saved but not displayed.
