Hi,

Whenever CURRENCY values are processed, there is a need to specify CURRENCY KEY, for example JPY(Japanese Yen), INR(Indian Rupees), USD(United States Dollar), etc.

The currency value will be stored in one field and the corresponding currency key in one field. Here, there is a need to mention the link between these fields.

That's why we are mentioning the currency key field as reference field.

The same rule is applicable for Quantity values. But here it is called as UNITS, for example KG(KiloGram), PT(PoinT), etc.

There is no need that reference field must be in the same table. Even it can be referred from other tables also.
