  • 1.  Local Currency Reports in Cost Transparency

    Posted Tue June 10, 2025 10:51 AM

    We are using Apptio Cost Transparency for our Tech Finance reporting, including actual and forecast variance analysis.

    We have regions around the world including Mexico and Canada.  I was wondering if any Apptio users have found an easy way to alternate the reporting currency of the reports in CT so that if a user is looking at the Mexico cost centers they can select MEX currency or if looking at Canada financials they can view the reports in CAD$ ?  I am sure we can build out separate reporting for the different currencies, but this would take a considerable amount of time.  So we were not sure if another Apptio user has found a way to set up a way to show reports in various currency?  

    I know that Planning has a way to view in different currency, so we are hoping there is a solution in CT as well?

    Thanks for your insight!

    Hey Brad!  Looks like we just need to enable it - but once we enable it, we can't undo it.  Going to put in a ticket to see if we can get a project copy first to test things out - just to be on the safe side. ;-)

    Hi Brad - I work for a global company, and we have multiple currencies used in both CT and Planning.  I'm happy to share how we do our reporting in CT if you're interested.  Apptio does have features that when enabled make it relatively easy.
