Currency Exchange Rates

​​The billing currency exchange rate is based on the end customer's location currency (determined by Microsoft) converted to the currency configured in the CMP (determined by the distributor). The currency exchange rates are obtained via API. Microsoft publishes the currency exchange rates to be used for consumption costs at the start of every month. When the invoices are generated, the Azure NCE connector uses the currency exchange rates published by Microsoft to convert to the marketplace currency.

For Azure NCE, pricing is based off USD and converted to the currencies in the table below. For end customers located outside of these currency regions, Microsoft determines a local currency different from the one used by such countries. In many cases, this is either USD or EUR, depending on the location.

Microsoft provides currency exchange rates for approximately 160 global currencies. Azure NCE Connect now offers the following capabilities:

• The ability to manually override the currency exchange rate published by Microsoft.

• The ability to define a manual currency exchange rate for any currency not included in the list of 160 currencies.

To perform the actions above you will need to configure the usage_exchange_rate_list as explained in the Distributor Portal Configuration Guide.
