Money

The Money field stores currency values with the correct symbol and formatting for your chosen currency. It supports over 160 currencies and defaults to US Dollars.

What it is

A Money field stores a numeric value and ties it to a specific currency. Engine Awesome displays the value with the right currency symbol and formatting automatically - so you see $1,250.00 for USD or £980.00 for GBP, not just a plain number. This makes your financial data clear and avoids ambiguity when dealing with multiple currencies.

When to use it

  • Pricing - store the price of a product or service on a product record
  • Invoice totals - capture the total amount due on an invoice record
  • Budgets - track project or department budgets with proper currency formatting
  • Product costs - store the cost price of an item alongside its selling price
  • Payments received - log payment amounts on transaction or order records
  • Salary or compensation - store compensation amounts on employee records

Settings

  • Currency - choose from 160+ currencies; defaults to US Dollar (USD). The selected currency determines the symbol and formatting displayed.
  • Label - the name shown above the field in forms and layouts
  • Required - prevents saving the record unless a value is entered
  • Conditional - show or hide the field based on another field's value

Example

In a product catalog app, you add two Money fields to your Products object type: one labeled Selling Price and one labeled Cost Price. Both are set to USD. When your team opens a product record, they can see the price you charge customers alongside what the product actually costs you, making it straightforward to calculate margins at a glance. The dollar sign and decimal formatting are applied automatically.
