How to separate amount and currency from a combined balance field (example: 500.00 EUR)?
Summary:
Hello Everyone,
I’m looking for ideas and expert opinions on handling a combined amount + currency field that is displayed in the following format:
SourceSystemBalance(Functional) |
|---|
500.00 EUR |
-2,026.80 EUR |
132,788.54 USD |
Requirement
The requirement is to separate this displayed value into two columns:
Amount | Currency |
|---|---|
500.00 | EUR |
-2026.80 | EUR |
132,788.54 | USD |
This separation is mainly needed for reporting / visibility / downstream consumption, not for recalculating or changing the balance itself.
Key Question
From a system or data-design perspective:
- What are the possible ways to extract or expose the amount and currency separately when they appear together in a single displayed field?
- Are there common or recommended approaches to handle this kind of scenario?
