Clients: How to change your number format

Choose how amounts are punctuated in Debitura (thousands separator and decimal mark) from your Profile page.

You can choose how amounts are written in Debitura: which character separates the thousands and which one marks the decimals. The setting is personal and only changes how amounts look, never the amounts themselves.

Change your number format

  1. Go to your Profile page.

  2. Find the Regional preferences card.

  3. Click Change.

  4. Choose an option in the Number format list.

The options

Each option is shown with how 1,234,567.89 looks in it.

Number format

Example

Automatic (browser setting)

Follows your browser. This is the default.

en-US

1,234,567.89

de-DE

1.234.567,89

fr-FR

1 234 567,89

de-CH

1’234’567.89

en-IN

12,34,567.89

Automatic uses your browser's format when Debitura can read it back reliably. If it cannot, for example because your browser uses other digits than 0 to 9, Debitura uses the en-US format (1,234,567.89) instead.

What changes

  • Only the punctuation. The amount, its currency code and the two decimals stay the same.

  • It follows you. The setting is saved on your own user, so it applies on every device, in both the client portal and the partner portal, and when you switch between companies.

  • Amounts you type are read the same way. With de-DE, 1.500 means one thousand five hundred. With en-US, 1.5 means one and a half. An amount that cannot be read, such as 1,,5 or 1,5.5, is refused with an error instead of being guessed, so check your number format before you type amounts.

  • Some older screens do not change yet. A few pages still show amounts in a fixed format, such as 1,234.56, whatever you choose.
