2622988 - How to control currency pattern for prices in SF Learning?

Symptom

  • How to configure Learning Management System (LMS) to display prices with a comma instead of a dot for the decimal separator?
  • How to avoid extra zero after decimal point for prices in library or external learning request?

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Learning

Reproducing the Issue

As an example, considering that a price needs to be set for an item (which is already present in a library), and this price should be displayed with a comma (150,00 instead of 150.00):

  1. In Learning Administration, go to Learning Activities > Libraries >
  2. Search the required entity and open it >
  3. Go to the Items tab > find the target item and click on the 3 dots button > click on 'Price Change' >
  4. For every locale that needs an update to the price, set the new price and click on 'Next' and proceed until the last step of the wizard >
  5. After this, the price should be displayed with a comma.

Cause

The currency pattern defines how currency values are formatted in a specific locale. It specifies whether to use a comma or period as a decimal separator and how many digits to show after the decimal point.

Resolution

To set or update a currency pattern, navigate to:

  1. Learning Administration > References > Manage Labels > Locales >
  2. Search for the required locale and open it in edit mode >
  3. At the locale's record, go to the Currency Pattern tab and ensure that the "Currency Pattern Hint" is customized correctly to avoid issues in displaying currency values.

Please note that custom currency patterns can be created at Learning Administration > References > System Administration > Number Format Patterns.

The Currency Pattern must be configured in each Locale so the users and administrations can select this option in their preferences.
