Enhanced Global Feature Set

The ARCHIBUS Enhanced Global Feature Set is a set of enhancements to the Real Estate Portfolio Management applications that address the needs of multinational deployments. The core features include user-locale based currency, currency conversion, and a display of areas in user-default unit of measure (square feet or square meters), automated VAT cost calculation and Vat Percent value allocation to cost transactions. Many reports include the VAT action button to filter display for Base Costs, VAT Costs, or Total Costs, and the Currency action button to refresh cost projections and reports by your organization's Budget Currency, your User Default Currency, or any currency that you select.

You enable these features by setting the afm_activity_params.param_value for the “AbCommonResources-EnableVATandMultiCurrency” parameter to YES using the System Administration / ARCHIBUS System Administrator / Enable/Disable VAT and Multicurrency task.
