The currency symbol for SGD (Singapore Dollar) is "$".

The client wants to differientiate between American Dollars and Singapore Dollars.

HKD (Hong Kong dollars) are displayed as "HK$", so why not SGD shown as "SG$"?

Resolution

This is per design according to http://www.xe.com/symbols.php which is the reference website for currencies.

It is not possible to chang the currency code as per the customers requirement.

So far, the currency symbol supported in the product needs to follow the standard. We will change it if a certain symbol now becomes a standard.

For any changes in currency please submit an enhancement request via the SAP Community.
