# Control Currency Conversion in Definitions

Choose how the Data Processing Engine handles currency fields when it processes multi-currency data. Convert all currency values to a single currency for consistent calculations, or keep each amount in its original currency to apply your own conversion logic. Set your preference once for a definition and run it the same way every time on the CRM Analytics or Data 360 runtime.

### Required Editions

## Use Cases

- Manufacturing (Rebate Calculations): Rebate computations often involve transactions across multiple currencies. Choose whether to convert currency before aggregation for rebate calculations to match your business logic.
- Billing and Accounting: In financial use cases, some organizations retain the original currency values for reporting, and others convert them to a standard corporate currency. Currency conversion helps your data comply with accounting and financial-reporting rules.

## Considerations

- Currency conversion applies only when your Salesforce org has multi-currency enabled and your definition uses the CRM Analytics or Data 360 runtime.
- The On-Demand Processing runtime and Data Preview don't support currency conversion
- Currency conversion isn't supported for standard Salesforce object fields, Data 360 fields, and CRM Analytics datasets with a currency data type.
- The conversion of currency fields applies to fields in Salesforce objects, data lake objects, data model objects, and calculated insights objects.

- **[How Currency Conversion Works in Each Runtime](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ind.dpe_currency_conversion_working.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    The runtime your definition uses and the currency conversion setting together determine whether CRM Analytics or Data 360 converts currency values or keeps them in their original currency.
- **[Configure Currency Conversion for a Definition](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ind.dpe_configure_currency_conversion.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Set the currency conversion preference for a definition in the Data Processing Engine builder. Turn conversion on to consolidate amounts into a single currency, or turn it off to keep the original currencies. For the Data 360 runtime, select the target currency.
