Measuring and managing exchange rate risk exposure is important for reducing a firm's vulnerabilities from major exchange rate movements which could couldadversely affect profit margins and the value of assets. The purpose of the article is to show how to implement and provide a solution in SAP ERP or S/4HANA systems that significantly reduces exchange rate risk.
