F.A.Q.

The Exchange rates in Settings > Financials influence Work Force Planning and not Reports or Dashboards

You can upload new exchange rates by preparing a spreadsheet with the source currencies and their preferred exchange rates, and then import this spreadsheet into Bob via System Settings > Data Management.

These updated currencies and exchange rates will appear under Financials > Currencies in the Exchange rates table, reflecting the source currency, exchange rate, effective date, and the target (default) currency.

 

For reports, Bob automatically pulls exchange rates from openexchangerates.org, updating them at the start of each month. Salaries recorded in local currency are converted to default currency in reports, and you can select to convert all salaries to your default currency.

 

It’s important to note that exchange rates impact position costs, especially when dealing with positions in different currencies. Make sure that exchange rates are defined and up to date for all positions, as positions without cost or accurate exchange rates will be excluded from metric calculations in Workforce Planning. 💼

Hi 

Would anyone be able to confirm if this is still the case? If it is, could someone explain the rationale as it seems odd that we cannot choose to stipulate the exchange rates used in core so that they align with our other systems in ERP and finance for example?

As a result only being able to stipulate in Workforce planning means that comparing the output from this module and core requires us to constantly align the workforce planning and the reports from core are different to our finance and ERP systems

Thanks!
