Set the reference currency for the designated FX Currency field. The ServiceNow AI Platform uses the reference currency to convert values entered into the FX
Currency field into a common currency for report aggregation purposes.

## Before you begin

Roles required: admin

## Procedure

1. Click the Currency tab.
2. In the Reference Currency field, select the three-digit ISO currency code used for the reference currency.  
   For example, select USD if the currency values expressed in various currencies convert into US Dollars for report aggregation.

   To use the global reference currency default you established in the
   glide.currency2.default_reference_currency property in System LocalizationAll Properties.
3. In the Reference Currency Source field, designate the source of the reference currency.  
   * To use as the source of its reference currency when creating or updating a currency value for this FX Currency field, select the dot-walked field.
     * For example, <kbd class="ph userinput">Cost</kbd> is an FX Currency field, and <kbd class="ph userinput">my_currency</kbd> is a reference or string field in the Currency \[fx_currency\] table that contains a currency code such as USD.
     * When you create an FX Currency configuration for the <kbd class="ph userinput">Cost</kbd> field, you select <kbd class="ph userinput">my_currency</kbd> as its reference currency.

   * If you do not want to select the reference currency from another field, select --None--.
