User currency
Users can set their preferred currency at the application level. All active currencies—managed via master data—are available for selection.
Upon initial login, the system uses the base currency defined in the settings. The user currency setting allows monetary fields to be displayed and edited in the selected currency. However, all data is stored in:
• Base currency (as defined in system settings)
• Local currency (as defined per asset)
Example
If a user enters 100 USD for an asset with a local currency of EUR, and the exchange rate is 1 USD = 0.85 EUR, the system stores: 85.00 EUR as the local currency value.
The same exchange rate is applied when displaying the value in the user currency, so the user continues to see 100 USD.
 | The number of decimals stored depends on the currency’s decimal configuration. |
