Tips   Change the default locale and currency

If you selected the Supplier Direct partition at log in, you can change only your default locale.

You can override your default currency for specific transactions, such as expense reports, and select another currency (known as a transaction currency). Depending on your assigned roles and permissions, you can also specify transaction currencies when approving requests.

To work with requests that contain multiple currencies, click Toggle Currency in the Command bar to display all monetary values in your default currency. Click Toggle Currency again to redisplay values in their transaction currencies. You must set the Display User Currency preference to toggle currencies.
