Understanding Multi-Currency Management on OOTI

Discover how multi-currency management works on your OOTI account through a concrete example.

Scenario:

  • The entity currency is Euro (EUR)

  • The project currency is US Dollar (USD)

Within the project:

  • The project currency (USD) is set

  • The client currency may be different, but the project currency always takes precedence

  • The project exchange rate (USD) is defined: only one exchange rate can be applied to the entire project. This is the project’s base exchange rate

  • Co-contractors follow the project currency

  • The project currency is the highest-level currency and overrides all others (USD)

Project billing:

  • The exchange rate is automatically applied based on the invoice date. It may therefore differ from the project exchange rate and is calculated automatically (USD).

  • All billing items are expressed in the project currency (USD).

  • ⚠️ For invoices created in the future, the exchange rate applied will be the latest known rate (USD).

  • In Project > Billing > Invoices, you can use the grey toggle to switch the currency display (USD or EUR).

  • When recording the invoice payment, you can choose the payment currency, and OOTI will automatically handle the conversion (USD or EUR).

  • If there is a variance due to exchange rate fluctuations at the time of payment, you can add a “compensation” payment so that the invoice is marked as paid.

In the project billing schedule:

  • Amounts are expressed in the project currency (USD).

In project costs:

  • Cost invoices can be entered in any currency. The conversion is done automatically based on the exchange rate of the day (EUR).

  • Supplier invoice payments are made in the invoice currency (USD), and OOTI automatically converts the amount into EUR using the invoice exchange rate.

  • Once the invoice is validated, you can use the grey toggle to switch the currency display (USD or EUR).

  • In the subcontractor schedule, amounts are expressed in the project currency (USD).

In the project finances:

  • All figures are expressed in the entity currency (EUR).

Notes:

  • In the multi-entity group view, the first entity used takes precedence.

  • Currencies can be set at different levels: project, invoice, client, salaries, contractors, and expense reports.
