Cost Management Profile Options

During implementation, you set a value for each user profile option to specify how Cost Management controls access to and processes data. The table below also indicates at whether you (the "User") can view or update the profile option and at what System Administrator levels the profile options can be updated: at the user, responsibility, application, or site levels.

Generally, the system administrator sets and updates profile values.

CST: Exchange Rate Type

Indicates how to convert foreign currency. The options are period average rate or period end rate.

This profile is also used to control the exchange rate type used for the Margin Analysis Report, the Material Distribution Report, and the WIP Distribution Report. When entering a foreign exchange rate for one of these reports, you must specify the exchange rate type. For reporting profit and loss results, different countries use different financial standards. For example, U.S. companies convert using the period average rate, and Australian companies use the period end rate.
