   Costs are calculated using base currency The operating currency used by your company and the Nominal Ledger; other currencies are regarded as foreign.. If the subcontract suppliers use foreign currency, the values are converted to base currency for costing. However, you define the costs in the supplier's currency.

   The results are shown in the Operation Costing window.
