@chfschradj please note the response provided by ​@Abdul pertains only to the display of currency values. There is no thousands (comma) separator yet for numeric fields.

An idea has been accepted.

@chfschradj ,

In IFS Cloud, the display format for numbers (e.g., 3,000.00) is controlled by regional/locale settings, not by individual form configuration.

 Where the formatting comes from

Number formatting (thousand separator, decimal separator) is driven by:

1. User Language / Locale

  • Determines:
    • , as thousand separator
    • . as decimal separator

2. Browser / Client Regional Settings

  • Aurena (web UI) uses:
    • Browser locale (e.g., en-US, en-GB, de-DE)

3. IFS User Settings

  • Language settings in IFS also influence formatting

 How to Configure

 Step 1: Set User Language in IFS

Go to:
User → Preferences

Set:

  • Language = English (United States) (for 3,000.00 format)

 Step 2: Check Browser Locale

For example in Chrome:

Ensure:

  • Preferred language = en-US

 Step 3: Verify System Behavior

After change:

  • Refresh Aurena
  • Numbers should display like:
    • 3,000.00 (US format)
    • or 3.000,00 (EU format)
