Currencies & Languages

Multiple Currencies

Companies with entities in multiple countries can plan, integrate data from other systems, and report in their local currencies, and in the currency of parent entities, and in the total company (headquarters) currency. Adaptive Planning automatically converts data from local currencies to these other currencies.

How It Works

International users can plan and track actual data in their own local currencies. Each planning entity (e.g., department, cost center, or business unit) is assigned a currency, and all financial data is displayed in that entity in that currency. When entities’ data is rolled up to their parent entities, financial data is automatically converted from their local currency to the currency of the parent entity. All data is ultimately converted to the currency for the total company.

• Each currency used by a company can have two different exchange rates — an average exchange rate is applied to P&L data, and an end-of-month exchange rate is applied to Balance Sheet data.
• Each exchange rate can vary by month.
• Actual exchange rates can be automatically imported along with other actual, historical data.
• Reports can display data either in local currency or in the parent entity currency.

International Language Support

Adaptive Planning can be used in various languages and regions, and conforms to the cultural expectations of its users.

International and local language settings are based on the user's browser configuration. As a result, users in different geographies within a single company can automatically use the application in their local language, with the number and date formatting to which they are accustomed.

• The user's locale is automatically detected based on browser settings.
• Users can enter, store and display data in their language.
• Numbers and dates in sheets and reports are displayed in the appropriate format for the user's locale.
• Time period month labels are internationalized.
• The format of numbers and dates follow the rules of each locale.

Full Local Language Support

Adaptive Planning provides full support for five languages: English, French, German, Spanish,
and Japanese.

In addition to the international features listed above, the fully-supported languages display the text of the application's user interface in the user's local language.

Limited Local Language Support

Adaptive Planning also provides limited support for Polish and Russian.

Languages with limited support have been provided by Adaptive Planning partners. Adaptive Planning makes them available with limited support to provide greater value to our clients. While attempts have been made to validate their accuracy and completeness, these languages may be more susceptible to bugs in the way in which text is presented, and there may be areas within the application where translated text is unavailable.
