Hi,

Can any one tell me how to change the default currency for a project in a group of projects without disturbing the other projects in Primavera V5/6.

    As far as I know it isn’t possible for a project. You can influence the currency for:
    - Whole database - the base currency
    - Resource
    - User

    As everything is memorized in the standard value and just calculated based upon the currency factors for user interface, you can easily change your user setting during a session.

    Regards

    Hi Dieter Wambach,

    Thank you very much for your reply. As you said calculation of currency by currency factor we may get value. But if it a MNC company and you are doing many projects at a time you may not be getting right value. because as time pass the currency convertion will change which will result in different values for different projects. so is any option/ possibulity to rectify it?

    We solve this item by creating all internal reports in Euro. Cost related external reports are only produced by SAP.
    There is just one factor per currency and not related to time. As far as I’m informed, Primavera announced a periodical currency factor for P8 in 2010.
