Define a base currency (P6 Professional Only)

The base currency, by default, is U.S. dollars. The Base check box indicates the currency used to store cost data. You cannot mark or clear this check box, but to change the base currency you can reconfigure the base currency to represent your required base currency.

Choose Admin, Currencies.
Select the current base currency, then click the General tab.
Type the new ID, name, and symbol over the existing values, to define the new base currency.
Click the Appearance tab.
Select the symbol used to separate whole values from decimal values in the currency display, for example, 500.5 or 500,5.
Select the symbol used to separate groups of digits in the currency display, for example, 300,000 or 300-000.
Select the number of decimal places to display in currency values, for example, none (70), one (70.1), or two (70.14).
Select the format used to display positive and negative currency values.

Tip

If you want to view costs in the old base currency, you will need to add it back to the list of available currencies.
