Add a Currency

The currency assigned to entities and used in economic calculations depends on the configuration of the project currency, the entity's country, and the entity's currency.

By default, entities inherit the currency of their country, if one is specified in the entity properties. You can override this inheritance by changing the Entity Currency from Default (country currency) to a different currency. If you don't specify a country, the entity inherits the project currency, found in Project Options (US Dollars by default).

Value Navigator converts all currencies to the project currency when you run project-level or folder-level economics or when you run economics on a selection of entities with different currencies.
