Money data types

Monetary amounts, such as $12 US Dollars, have two components: a currency (such as US Dollars) and a value (such as 12). Every monetary amount must have both components in order to be valid.

To simplify working with monetary amounts, PolicyCenter uses the data types list below. Each data type has two components: a currency component and an amount component. Whenever an entity field uses one of these data types, the field is mapped to two columns in the corresponding database table: a currency column and a value column.
