Currency conversion

Understand what is currency conversion and how to apply the corporate currency in your tenants.
Costs and price lists from the cloud provider may differ from the Corporate Currency. Currency conversion enables users to define a conversion rate that can be used to change currency values from the cloud provider to the Corporate Currency.
The benefit of being able to do this is so that currency values in Kyndryl Modern Operations Application can be displayed in a single currency no matter what currency is used by the cloud provider.
If you have the System Admin role, the currency conversion page enables you to convert the source currency, the one from the cloud provider, to a display currency.
On this page, you can find the following topics:

Corporate Currency list view

Below the corporate currency bar, the following seven columns display relevant data:
  • From Currency
    : Original currency.
  • To Currency
    : Converted to currency.
  • Conversion Rate
    : Value of one currency converted or exchanged to another currency.
  • Start Date

  • End Date

  • Last Updated By

At the end of the page, click the left and right pointing arrows to scroll among the set of pages that make up the list of currency conversion rates.
You can change the number of items that appear on each page and the total number of pages by clicking the down arrow in the

Currency conversion for Corporate Currency

Corporate Currency configuration should be set during system setup. The corporate currency cannot be changed once orders and active service offering instances are in the system. Changing the corporate currency after orders and active service offering instances are created can make the system unstable.
The corporate currency or default currency, appears at the top of the Currency Conversion page. All currency values are displayed in the default currency.
The default currency must be one of the supported currencies. If currency value is in a currency other than the corporate or default currency, the Kyndryl Modern Operations Applications converts currency values with the defined currency conversion rates to the corporate or default currency before it is displayed.
The Kyndryl application provides three types of currencies: ISO currency, instance currency, and default currency.
Conversion rates can be configured to convert from other default customer tenant supported currencies to the corporate currency.
