Indian numbering format on word template

Question

Hi ,

I have a formatting problem in Word template sample number i got from XML is

3,678,400 i would like to present this as 36,78,400.00.

I tried to change to custom locale EN-in with no success.

I tired to use control json tab to setup format like this

"format": {

"number": {

"outputformat": "currency",

"locale": "en-IN",

"minimumFractionDigits": 2,

"maximumFractionDigits": 2    }

}

this return an error on IDM side.

Does anyone have similar problem ? any walkaround or hint will be appriciated.

Thanks

Depending where your number comes from you may want to verify if it comes in in default "unformatted" form, that is no thousand separators and a dot as decimal separator., something like this 187691.24 If it is different then formatting may not work properly.

Hi Jacek, If you're using M3 (perhaps others also) and want to try standard you may want to look at KB2265440. IDM is normally using the de-CH field from the XML file. Additionally there is KB2331529 that allows you some more tweaking. Good luck.
