Configure Currencies for a Measure

You can view a measure in several units of measure and currencies side by side without having separate measures. By converting a single measure into various values and currencies, you get superior data consistency and don't require recalculation and data synchronization.

To configure currencies for a measure:

  1. In a Supply Chain Planning work area, click the Tasks panel tab.

  2. In the Tasks panel, click the Manage Planning Measures link.

  3. Locate the measure for which you want to configure currencies and click Edit.

  4. On the Advanced tab, select the Properties tab.

  5. Select Currency from the list as the default value for the Base Currency.

    The base currency defines the default currency to which displayed data is converted and is editable only for currency type measures.

  6. Select the relevant currencies from the Display Currency.

    You completed defining the currencies for a measure. You can view the measure using a specific table or graph.

The currency value is editable only if the measure type is Currency. For numeric measures, you can change the type from Number to Currency. Select the currency that you want to use in this instance of the measure.

Note: To show the same measure with different currencies, you can create a copy from the original measure. Rename the duplicated measure to use another unit of measure of your choice. You can show the same measure as both numbers and currencies.

To override the default currency:

  1. Open a table and select View, Format Measures to find the measure.

  2. Click the measure you want to modify and select the value from the Currency list.

  3. Click Save and Close.
