Ra Workshop has the ability to calculate a project in every currency it contains. More so, the materials for the database can be introduced in different currencies. When calculating, the application will automatically update the currency depending on the existing exchange rate.

Important: if you use different currencies when calculating projects you need to update the exchange rate daily to ensure accurate results. When the application will use a currency it will use the conversion value of the last date introduced.
