Currency Type in CDM entity

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Perumal 604

I am playing around SalesInvoiceLines CDM entity, which has property "LineAmount", which should be updated with Quantity * Unit Price. LineAmount is of type Currency. When I try to update it, there is an error LineAmount expects currency, but I have provided Number. I have searched, could not found any function to create Currency type using functions like Text(), Value().

    Hi Perumal,

     

    Do you create an App based on Sales Invoice Lines Entity? When you open the entity in Excel then publish data, can the data be published?

     

    I have seen an article about “Understand entities in the Microsoft Common Data Model”, which says that “Currency: A numeric value that represents money”. Hope this article can be a reference for you:

    Thanks. I have later found this is just Number. I have used Value() and its working fine.
