Description
📝 Scenario
As a user in a global organization, I need to convert my billing currency to my personal local currency in order to understand and report on costs within my local geography
💎 Solution
Cost details includes a separate column for cost in USD, but all the reports are using the Cost column. Add the ability to convert this USD column to any currency using a free or open-source currency conversion service.
ℹ️ Additional context
Microsoft has currency conversion rates available internally. Consider writing a proposal for how we'd like to see that exposed via Cost Management APIs.

Done means there is an agreed proposal for exposing or applying local-currency conversion in the reports.
