Novaplan is multi-currency by design. You plan and hold values in native currencies where it matters, and every report translates to your base currency so totals across entities are always summable.

​
How It Works

  • Each entity and account carries its native currency.
  • FX rates are applied per month, so currency drift over your forecast window is reflected in the numbers (a salary in euros costs a different base amount in December than in January if the rate moves).
  • Cost surcharges are applied after translation, the same order the forecast engine uses, so a loaded cost matches what the engine computes.
  • Amounts on dashboards and reports show in base currency unless a column is explicitly labeled native.

​
Managing Rates

In Planning -> Currency, manage the FX rates used for translation. Changing a rate re-translates the affected plans and reports automatically, so you do not rebuild anything by hand.
Never sum mixed native currencies. Novaplan converts to base currency before summing, so roll-ups are always apples to apples. A native-currency column is the only exception, and it is always labeled as such.

​
Common Questions

It is the single reporting currency your roll-ups and dashboards present in. Every native amount is translated to it before it is summed.
Per month. Rates are applied at monthly granularity across the forecast window, so a rate move shows up in the months it applies to, not as a single flat conversion.
Yes, where a column is explicitly a native-currency column. Those are labeled, and you should not sum across them since they may mix currencies.
Translation re-applies on the affected plans and reports. If a report still looks stale, re-run the relevant forecast so the derived GL re-posts with the new rate.

​
If the Numbers Look Off

  • A roll-up looks wrong across entities: confirm you are reading base currency, not a native-currency column folded into the sum.
  • A loaded cost in a foreign entity drifts month to month: that is expected. FX is applied per month, so currency drift over the window is real, not a bug.
  • A rate edit did not propagate: re-run the forecast for the affected universe so the derive bridge re-translates and re-posts.
