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 OpsCultureName or OpsCultureNumber. When specifying a PwsOpsCultureRef as an input to a web service, you may specify one or both the OpsCultureName and/or OpsCultureNumber. 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 PwsOpsCultureRef is returned in the response to a web service, both the OpsCultureName and OpsCultureNumber will be populated, and guaranteed to refer to a single culture.
