For SAP Business ByDesign:

1. Open the object where you want to add the field.
2. Click on the avatar icon on the top-right side of the screen.
3. Click on Key User Settings -> Start Adaptation Mode.
4. Right-click on the section of the screen where the field needs to be added, then click on "+extension fields".

6. Save the field and add it to the screen.

For SAP Cloud for Customer:

1. Open the object where you want to add the field.
2. Click on the avatar icon on the top-right side of the screen.
3. Click on "Start Adaptation".
4. Click on the section of the screen where the field needs to be added.
5. On the right panel, click on Add -> Fields.
6. Click on the button "Create Fields" and set the type as "Amount" and the default value as "0,00 XYZ" (where XYZ is the currency code).
7. Save the field and add it to the screen.

This is the current expected behavior of the system. The default value of the field was set as "0,00", which is equivalent as not having content inside the field. As such, the system displays the field as blank until a currency is manually selected.

In order to display the "0,00 XYZ" value, you need to edit the object and select a currency code.
