Figure 5-2: Override Exchange Rate

Inventory is costed throughout BPCS in the global currency. If the cost of an

item of inventory is requested in another currency such as the euro, the cross
rates need to be established within the cross currency matrix so that a
conversion can take place.
As costing is global, inventory movements throughout your business pose no
problems. For example, if mass location transfer (Transaction T) is used to
move items from one warehouse to another, the cost of those items remains
global even if the base currency in the two locations differs. No currency
conversion by BPCS is required in this instance for the cost of an item.
