SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Project, when you import your project to the enterprise or when you import resources from your project to the list of enterprise resources, you may receive the following message:

The currency for this project is different from the currency setting specified in the enterprise global template.

When the resources from this project are saved to the enterprise resource pool, they will use the currency specified in the enterprise global template.

Note that if you click OK in response to this message, you can continue with the steps in the remaining pages of the Import Resources Wizard to add enterprise resources or import your project.

CAUSE

This behavior may occur if a currency symbol is not specified in the enterprise global template.
