Implement EUROPE - German Number Format for Invoices/Product Pricing ->1.216,00 €
M

Implement proper number formatting for the German/European market in our invoicing / product system. This is crucial for compliance and user understanding.
Key Requirements:
- Use period (.) as thousands separator
- Use comma (,) as decimal point
- Apply this format to all numerical values on invoices and financial documents
Example:
Current format: 1,216.00
Required German format: 1.216,00
Justification:
Correct number formatting is essential for legal compliance and to avoid confusion in financial transactions in the German market.
In Germany, numbers are written differently than in English-speaking countries. For example, 1,216.00 should be written as 1.216,00 in Germany. The main differences are:
- A period (.) is used as the thousands separator.
- A comma (,) is used as the decimal point.
So, on German invoices or financial documents it MUST be with a period. Please talk to the dev team!
