The display of Cost in the My Requests list

When displayed in the Requests list, the Cost uses a rate rounded up to the decimal place that is set in your Display Value Currency field. However, the base calculation of the informational cost estimate uses the actual rate that you have configured in Localization Workspace. The base calculation does not use the currency's display value. For more information, see Identify the FX Currency field and its display parameters.
