About this task

Setting up currency options enables Cloud Cost Management users to choose from the list of available currencies. Costs are calculated using the exchange rates specified by cloud service providers. These exchange rates are automatically applied to ensure cost reporting accuracy across regions.

Note:

If you haven't set up the preferred currency options earlier, all the billing and usage data is displayed in the default currency.

Procedure

1. Navigate to Workspaces > Cloud Cost Management Workspace > Operations > Administration > Multi-currency setup.
2. Select a currency code from the Currency Option 1 drop-down list
