Sajid and Muhammad,

as Arnold says:

Go to Admin, Currencies,

Select the Base currency on row # 1,

Use the General tab to edit the Currency ID, Curency Name and Symbol fields to fit your national currency; do not edit the Exchange Rate field, it reflects the rate of a specific currency against the base currency,

If necessary, add a new currency to have the US dollar again

If necessary, edit the Exchange Rate field for each currency you will use against the base currency.

Click OK; it works, and well

Alexandre

Hi Arnold,



I tried the way you are telling, but it won’t work. Neither ID nor symbolt etc, i don’t know why.

Hi Sajid,



The one I explained provides you more details. What else do you need? Please elaborate.

Sajid,



BE VERY CAREFULL - only an American would think that P6 is a multi-currency system. By any definition that we understand in EMEA it is NOT. You can change the symbol used, you can apply a universal factor to all amounts of money BUT with no reference to dates - so all transactions whether in the future or past are changed.

Hi Sajid,



The default currency is USD. You cannot change and delete the base currency; however, you can change its ID, name, and symbol to that of a different currency to use as your base.



For example, to change the base currency to Saudi Riyal, select the base currency, type the Currency ID for SAR, enter Saudi Riyal as the Currency Name, and specify the Currency Symbol used to identify Saudi Riyal.



Regards,



Arnold

Hi Sajid



P6 is American so what would you expect - anywhere outside America - north & south - or the banking system - just doesn’t exist.



In PowerProject you can select any currency as a default.



Best regards
