Most countries use a comma to separate thousands. Some countries do not.
How do I handle the different format mask in a report?
I have the format mask : NGNNNGNNNDNN and the value is 1000

but When the customer is the Italian the value must be 1.000,00 while when the customer is English
the value must be 1,000.00

How do I handle the different format mask in a report

You can change the format mask dynamically by using SRW.SET_FORMAT_MASK('mask');

Just use this in trigger of the field.

Did you research use of the NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS?

I can tell that you, obviously, didn't research use of the NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS parameter.
