Project Planning and Multicurrency

Some firms who use Vision Planning plan their projects using cost values, some using billing values, and some using both. Therefore, Vision tracks project plans in both the project currency, representing planned cost values, and the billing currency, representing planned billing values.

After the project begins, when actual labor and expense amounts are viewed in a plan they appear in the same currency as the plan (either the project or billing currency), so that you can always directly compare planned and actual amounts.

• When you create a project from a plan, the new project inherits the project and billing currencies of the plan.

• When you create a plan from a group of projects, all projects selected must have the same project currency and billing currency, respectively.

• When an existing plan is merged to the new plan, the existing plan must have the same project currency and billing currency.

Note than any employee can be included on a plan, regardless of the employee's home currency.
