A sub contract can report cost to a project using a connected activity. It can report planned, planned committed, committed and used cost.
If multi-currency is used on the sub contract, the contract currency is the default currency that will be used for the item. It can be changed to any currency code valid to the sub contract currency type. If a project activity has been connected to the sub contract, a connection per currency code will be created in the project.
While the sub contract will report planned, planned committed and committed cost throughout various stages of the contract, the used cost is reported by the vouchers created. When multiple currencies are involved, all calculations to reduce the committed cost when the used cost is reported are done in the transaction currency. The remaining committed cost is then converted to base currency, using the currency conversion rate valid to the system date, and updated to the project activity.
The example below is about how the sub contract report cost to the connected project activity, when multi-currency is involved.
Default currency type: 1
Company currency: SEK
Sub contract item currency: USD
Contract currency: SEK
