So I’ve mentioned this back as something that strikes me a bit odd and I think a correction of it could be both simple, quick and something that makes sense.
Not IETF but Requesting for Comments to this request I’ve made on the SuiteCRM-Core repo.

## Context and Request
We've come across the realisation that there are curre… ntly 40 fields on the database named `_usdollar`.
I understand this makes a relation to what should be the US dollar currency, which logically for an American company would make sense as their base currency.
However on a global world, where I believe many current users, developers and SalesAgility itself are from Europe, but they could be from anywhere really, I don't think keeping a reference to `_usdollar` is correct.
Instead all fields and code could benefit from a simple update replacing the `_usdollar` with `_base` or `_basecur` or whatever, which is currency agnostic, and serves all purposes for what its intended. Even with `sed` it could be quickly and easily done.
Also, during an update a script could take care of the database,
```
ALTER TABLE table_name;
RENAME COLUMN oldColumn TO newColumn;
```
