Overview

This structure represents the unique key fields associated with identifying a culture. Cultures govern how numbers are displayed (currency symbol, periods, commas, etc) on invoices. For example, if an engagement's currency is Canadian dollars, you will have two options for culture: English (Canada) and French (Canada). For some currencies, there are no options for culture. Cultures can be identified by CultureName or CultureUid. When specifying a PwsCultureRef as an input to a web service, you may specify one or both the CultureName and/or CultureUid. However, if you do specify both, they must both refer to the same culture or the culture reference will not be considered valid. When a PwsCultureRef is returned in the response to a web service, both the CultureName and CultureUid will be populated, and guaranteed to refer to a single culture.
