Definition

A reference table is specified for fields containing currency amounts (date type CURR) or quantities (data type QUAN). This must be a field (reference field) with the currency key format (data type CUKY) or format for quantity units (data type UNIT). The assignment of the field to the reference field does not take place until runtime and is carried out by a program.

Example

If a field with currency amounts is filled, the associated currency from the assigned reference field is determined, that is, the value entered at this time in the reference field determines the currency used.
