FX exposure | Well skills

FX exposure

If you hold invoices or balances in more than one currency, this question is easy to ask and hard to answer without a spreadsheet. The skill groups everything that is not your home currency and converts it at a real rate, showing the original amount, the converted value, and the rate and date behind it.

How the skill answers

Every step of the run, in order, with the card each one returns. A step that hands its work to another skill says which one.

Frequently asked questions

Where does the exchange rate come from?

From synced rate data, and the skill always shows the rate and its date so a conversion can be checked or re-run at a different rate.

What if only one of bank or invoicing is connected?

It computes what it can and says which half is missing. With neither connected there is no exposure to measure and it says that instead of returning zero.

Does it hedge anything?

No. It measures exposure so you can decide what to do about it.
