Amount
Overview
The amount field is designed for financial and transaction scenarios. It extends the number field with thousands separator and masking capabilities, making it suitable for sales order amounts, contract amounts, payment amounts, and other currency-related data. Like the number field, it can serve as an operand for formula and roll-up summary fields, building complete financial calculation chains.
Basic specifications
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| Applicable scenario | Sales order amount, contract amount |
| Display format | Supports thousands separators and masking |
Configuration highlights
- Show thousands separator: When set to “Yes”, amounts display with thousands separators in the front end.
- Mask display: When configured, users outside the specified roles see the field value as a mask.
- Default value: Select a number as the default value or enter a formula. The fields involved in the calculation must be number or amount type fields in the current object.
Default values and required settings
Default value
Amount fields support the following default value methods:
- Fixed number: Enter a number as the default value. Integers are limited to 12 digits and decimals to 2 digits.
- Formula: Use a formula to dynamically calculate the default value. For example,
Quantity * Unit Priceauto-calculates when the user edits the quantity and unit price on the front end. The fields involved in the calculation must be existing number or amount type fields in the current object.
[!NOTE] The default value is auto-filled when creating a new record in the front end. Users can modify it after pre-filling. After modifying a default value formula, historical data is not recalculated.
Required configuration
- Field-level required: On the field configuration page, set “Required” to “Yes”. This applies across all scenarios (front-end entry and back-end import). Missing values prevent saving.
- Layout-level required: If the field is required only in specific business scenarios, set it as not required in the field properties. Then, in the specific page layout editor, check “Required”.
- Conditional required: If the required condition depends on the value of another field, configure validation rules.
Usage limitations
- Amount and number fields can participate in formula calculations interchangeably.
- When a roll-up summary field sums amount values, it uses a “sum first, then round” logic. This may differ from the list page summary (“round first, then sum”) by one cent.
