This capability lets you view project cost details in a currency different from your functional currency, facilitating financial management across regions without manual currency conversions. Cost plans, benefit plans, and related cost fields in the project form are automatically converted to the selected project currency. Show full answer Show less ## Key Features * **Activation:** Enable the **PPM Standard Multicurrency (com.snc.ppmmulticurrency)** plugin to activate multicurrency features. This also activates the **PPM Standard (com.snc.financialplanningpmo)** plugin, allowing switching between default and project currency views. * **Project Currency View:** An optional view in the Project form that displays multicurrency fields, accessible via the form context menu after plugin activation. * **Project Currency Selection:** Assign a project currency different from the functional currency using the Financials tab, selecting from active currencies in the Currencies \[fxcurrency\] table. Note that once financial elements such as cost plans or expense lines are created, the project currency field becomes read-only. * **Demand Management Integration:** Specify the project currency when converting demands to projects, enabling management of demands in functional, project, or local currencies. * **Project Workspace Support:** Track projects, cost plans, and benefit plans in project currency within Project Workspace, including grid and breakdown level views. * **Project Status Reports:** View planned and actual project costs in the project currency through overview and cost sections of project status reports. ## Benefits for ServiceNow Customers This multicurrency functionality streamlines financial management for projects spanning multiple regions by: * Eliminating manual currency conversions, reducing errors and administrative overhead. * Providing flexible currency views tailored to project location and financial tracking needs. * Enhancing demand and project lifecycle management with currency consistency and clarity. * Supporting comprehensive cost tracking and reporting in project currency, improving financial transparency. By leveraging this feature, ServiceNow customers can ensure accurate, localized financial planning and reporting for global projects. Use the multicurrency feature to execute a project or part of a project in a different geographic location that has a different local currency. The feature helps you to view the cost details of the project in a currency that is different from your functional currency. The values in the project's cost plans, benefit plans, and corresponding cost fields of the project form are also converted to a currency that you specify as project currency. Therefore, you need not convert the project currency to the functional currency of the project when the project is executed at a location that uses a currency different than your functional currency. ## Activation information {#multicurrency-pps__section_bjn_llx_hjb} Activate the PPM Standard Multicurrency (com.snc.ppm_multicurrency) plugin to enable the multicurrency features in Project Management. Activating the plugin enables the project currency view in project, cost plans, and benefit plans forms. With the project currency view, you can manage your project financials and cost plans in multiple project currencies. Note: Activating this plugin automatically activates PPM Standard (com.snc.financial_planning_pmo) plugin and therefore you get the option to switch between the default view and the project currency view. ## Project currency view {#multicurrency-pps__section_w22_vbw_jjb} In addition to the default view in the Project form, there is Project Currency view, which you can optionally enable to view the multicurrency fields. You can enable this view from the form context menu. The view appears only when you activate the PPM Standard Multicurrency (com.snc.ppm_multicurrency) plugin. Unlike the Default view, the Project Currency view contains multicurrency-related fields. You can designate a currency other than the functional currency as the processing Project Currency for a project. The Financials tab of the Project form has the Project currency field. You can select an active currency from the Currencies \[fx_currency\] table. Note: The Project currency field of a project is set to read-only field after you create a cost plan, cost plan breakdown, benefit plan, benefit plan breakdown, or an expense line for the project. ## Specify project currency in Demand {#multicurrency-pps__section_dty_qvz_bkb} You can specify the project currency that you want to use for managing a project when you convert a demand to a project. You can continue to manage the demand using your functional currency, project currency, or a local currency. For more information, see [Multicurrency in Demand Management](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/642ptrqaZ~FAJYv7QKn5EQ "The multicurrency feature tracks demand financials in the corporate currency, regional currency, or the project currency. Corporate policy typically governs this preference."). ## Projects in Project Workspace {#multicurrency-pps__section_sms_r5z_bkb} Track your projects in project currency in the Project Workspace. Create and monitor the cost plans and benefit plans for a project in project currency. For more information on project workspace, see [Project Workspace](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/UoC6r3iaOdIrMPFY6vfZlA "ServiceNow Project Workspace helps project managers to plan and manage projects from a central location."). To view the cost component in project currency at the grid level and at the breakdown level, see [Create and manage cost plans and benefit plans for a project](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/wGfkjnGiT4XDdfHkkQkcxg "Use the Financials tab in Project Workspace to capture the costs and benefits of a project."). ## Project status reports {#multicurrency-pps__section_ejk_5wz_bkb} To view the planned and actual cost status of your projects in project currency, open the overview and cost sections of [project status reports](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/iVdcJkzyfaHl2QTJuzbY0g "Project status reports provide the most recent, at-a-glance progress of a project displayed in several categories.").
