• All API methods returns data straight from database. It means that MOR GUI settings does not affect data, it will be returned as it is saved in database. For example:
  • Value of money will be returned in Default System Currency.
  • Date will not be affected of Default date format setting.
  • Value of money will not be affected of Number digits setting.
