Caution

Budgeting in the object currency with projects whose WBS elements have different object currencies may mean that there are budget line items in currencies that differ from each object currency. For more information, see Budget Transfers.

Each return is translated into the controlling area or object currency using its current exchange rate.

Example

A budget of 1000.00 USD translated into the controlling area currency is returned.
