Reports: Option to turn off currency symbols

We are currently working on multiple currencies in the AccountRight 20xx range, while we think it is important to include the ability to exclude currency symbols on reports this is not something that we able to deliver in the immediate future.

Planning on updating !!!  Since 2013 !!!!  I was invited to MYOB to look at the new AR about then and made it quite clear that REMOVING this option which was in Premier and AccountRight "classic" was obviously and oversight - and was assured the it would be changed.  $Like $when?

This is not just about foreign currency symbols! It is $quite $difficult $to $read $a $report $where $every $figure $has $a $currency $symbol $attached, isn't it ? This option has been in MYOB since the dinosaurs were bad, and should never have been left out of the AccountRight designe.  "No timeframe"is pretty unsatisfactory as an answer, too.

Setup/Preferences/Windows and also  ~/Reports and Forms do not have the options to include or EXCLUDE currency symbols.  These options are important to my clients because EXCLUDING the symbols makes reports and documents much easier to read. ( I spent a couple of hours about 2 years ago at MYOB at The Glen looking at proposed screen layouts and functionality and this omission was communicated to MYOB in very strong terms - was the visit just for show, was anybody actually listening?)

We are now using Accountright 2015.4 SE.

I would like to see a option to not have the $ sign both on screen display as in the bank register and also in reports. I can only see one  option in the Preferences /Windows tab but nowhere else.   

We are multi user does everyone have to have the same preferences for it to work?  

Hi Suzanne,

This issue was raised back in February 2012 (Over 18 months ago) and it remains unresolved; it will probably come right when the new AccountRight Premier product is released next year.

In the meantime a workaround can be found in this forum discussion Turn off "Show Currency Symbols in Windows

Please bring back the tick box in preferences which allows users to include or not include currency symbols in reports and in forms (cheques, invoices, etc.). This was a feature available up to v.19.5 and has disappeared from the new versions which is very frustrating. Our client wants, and in some occasions needs, to create invoices without the symbol.

Hello Suzanne,

if you select Indonesian as the language in the control panel /regional settings you will get  the currency as Rp.

Will this help?

Cheers
