Different resource rates seen by different users

So it turns out the user preference tab for currency had different settings on the two users. One was in Aussie Dollars the other in USD, hence the behavior similar to a currency converter.



Now I wonder how you set the exchange rates???????

Andrew,



You can change the exchange rates under Admin-> Currencies and you can set the currency used per user under Edit-> User preferences-> currency and select a currency for viewing monetary values.



Hope this help,

HI Andrew.

We think there is not such option.

Maybe this is a Primavera bug.

You’d better check on Primavera’s POINT page.

Thanks

Thanks for that response, however, the rate type and source are the same for both login profiles, as is the effective dates.

The user preferences are the same too.



It’s just that you get 2 very different figures from one user to another.



?? Is there anywhere in the system where you can set a currency conversion rate for resource rates, across different users?????



Long bow, but worth asking as this is how it acts.

Hi Andy.

This is really weird.

Each resource have 5 different rate type which was defined while you create resource.

We are not sure of the error reason but I think you should check some following element which can be different between administrator and user account:

_ rate type, rate source in Resource tab of Activity detail.

_ effective date at Unit&Price tab of Resource window.



Thanks
