Multicurrency user interface

This topic describes multicurrency fields in the user interface.

PolicyCenter is always configured as a multicurrency system, even if only one currency is defined. The data model and the business logic do not change when configured for single currency (the default setting). The multicurrency user interface elements are only visible in the base configuration when you set the MultiCurrencyDisplayMode parameter to MULTIPLE in config.xml. Even when that parameter is set to SINGLE, the currency-related fields are still populated within the data model. When multicurrency display mode is single, PolicyCenter does not display the user interface elements that enable you to change those fields.

You do not need to implement all lines in all configured currencies. All lines do not need to display and allow the user to set the currency. For example, a U.S. Workers' Compensation line only makes sense if the limits are in U.S. dollars.

This topic describes fields that the user sees when multicurrency display is enabled.
