Key Considerations for SAPinsiders
Understanding and managing risk is an essential function for large, multinational corporations. Managing currency risk is crucial for companies operating in multiple countries, as fluctuations in exchange rates can significantly impact financial performance. SAP provides integrated treasury and risk management solutions to help businesses mitigate currency risks effectively. Here are the top three considerations when implementing SAP Currency Risk Management:
Real-time reporting is crucial to success. Businesses need real-time visibility into their currency exposures to react quickly to market changes. SAP Treasury and Risk Management (TRM) provides live tracking of FX positions, outstanding payables/receivables, and forecasted cash flows across multiple currencies.
Integration across SAP minimizes exposure and ensures cohesive actions. Integrating solutions like SAP Currency Risk Management can help centralize exposure management within SAP to track transactional, operational, and translation risks. A holistic approach to liquidity planning ensures that currency fluctuations do not disrupt cash flow. By focusing on real-time exposure monitoring, effective hedging strategies, and treasury integration, companies can use SAP’s advanced currency risk management solutions to mitigate financial volatility and enhance global financial stability.

Automate Your Foreign Exchange RatesMay 2, 2022 — Does your company conduct business in Europe, Asia, or Latin America? Gain more customers by communicating monetary amounts in their local currencies in a standard, easy, and automated way in SAP S/4HANA. For some cultures, it is important to receive amounts in their own local currencies, instead of the most common currencies. Knowing the cost of a project, good, service, or shipment in the business –partner's currency can elevate the relationship.
With those currency benefits in mind, we need to have currencies updated daily in our SAP systems. Of course, you can perform this activity in a manual way by using the OB08 transaction, but it also poses serious risks. If you enter the exchange rates manually, you’ll need to visit the official website daily to track a country’s exchange rate. Search for different exchange rates and enter them manually in the OB08 transaction. When you enter the values manually, avoid input errors that can affect your final figures. This activity should be performed every day in our SAP systems for all the currencies that we want to update. This point is very important because if the exchange rates are missing or entered late, there will be errors in the amounts generated.
In this article, you will learn:
• How to fully automate the foreign currency activity by customizing the standard TBD4 transaction. Configuring this transaction takes less than one hour and allows us to have all our exchange rates updated in a standard and fully automated way, every day in all our SAP systems.
• Where in SAP S/4HANA you will find specific customizing. In this article, we look under: Financial Supply Chain Management / Cash and Liquidity Management / General Settings / Market Data / Datafeed.
• Step-by-step instructions for executing automated TBD4 transactions and verifying OB08 transaction values against selected Central Bank websites.
