Use the Currency page of the Add Project Dialog Box to configure the currency that is used in this project.

Project Currency

The currency for this project.

Code

Contract Management displays the currency’s ISO code in this field.

Reporting Currency

The currency used in the multi-project Cost Worksheet report.

For example, if you have different projects that use different currencies, this feature allows you to convert them all into one unified currency in the multi-project currency report.

Note: The reporting currency setting does not affect the currency settings in Contract Management documents. You can edit the reporting currency in the Reporting Currency Dialog Box.

When you select the currency, the currency’s reference code is automatically selected.

Code

The reporting currency’s code reference.

Calculation

Based on the value in the Rate field, select whether to convert the project currency to the reporting currency, or vice-versa.

Rate

The exchange rate to use between the Project Currency and the Reporting Currency.

For example, suppose you are using the British Pound as the project currency, and the exchange rate between the British Pound and the dollar is 2. However, you may want to create reports in dollars. You would enter 2 in this field to have Contract Management convert the project currency (Pounds) into dollars when you create reports.
