Cash Flow
You can show a cash flow plan in another currency, and you know where its exchange rates come from and who else sees the currency you chose.
The display currency is the currency in which a cash flow plan shows its figures. You choose it under **Currency** in the rail, for example to show the plan to a co-producer, a bank or a fund abroad in their own currency.
Under **Currency** in the rail, below **Budget Detail**, click the currency list, for example  **EUR**. The list shows the codes of the visible currencies of the budget the plan is based on, for example EUR, CHF and USD. To open the budget's **Currencies** dialog, choose **Settings** at the end of the list.
Until you choose a currency, the plan shows the default currency of the budget. If the currency you chose is later hidden or deleted in the budget, the plan shows the default currency again.
KOSMA first calculates the whole plan in the default currency of the budget. It converts an amount in another currency with the exchange rate of that currency. Only then does KOSMA divide each finished cell and each total once by the exchange rate of the display currency. KOSMA shows the figures without decimals. The cells of a row can therefore differ from its total, but only by this rounding.
The currencies and their exchange rates belong to the budget the plan is based on. The financing plans, cost control sets and cash flow plans of that budget use the same rates. If a project has several budgets, each budget has its own rates. When you change a rate in **Currencies**, the plan shows its figures converted with the new rate. For how to enter a rate, see [set currencies and the reporting currency](/kb/article/set-currencies-and-the-reporting-currency).
If the display currency has the exchange rate 1 or 0, or no rate, KOSMA shows the figures unconverted. In a new budget, EUR, CHF and USD all have the exchange rate 1. If you switch to USD there, only the code in the heading changes. Enter the rate in **Currencies** first.
The display currency changes only how the plan shows its figures. The amounts in the budget and the financing plan stay as they are. When you switch back, the plan shows the same figures as before. KOSMA saves the display currency with the plan. Everyone who opens the plan afterwards sees the currency you chose last, including the people you shared the plan with.
If the plan is read-only for you, **Currency** is greyed out and you cannot switch the currency. This is the case when the plan was shared with you read-only, when your licence does not cover Cash Flow, or when you are not signed in.
The printout and the Excel file from **Export Data** show the figures in the display currency. The printout names the currency in its header and above the total column, for example **Total (USD)**.
Before you quote a figure, look at the heading above the chart and the grid. It names the currency and the view, for example **Cash Flow (USD) - Combined Producers**. You choose the view under **Producer** in the rail: **Combined Producers** or a single company. For what each view shows, see [view one company, or all of them](/kb/article/view-one-company-or-all-of-them).
