SAP FX Risk: An Overview and Key Considerations
What Is SAP FX Risk?
With SAP FX Risk Management, SAP customers can assess their organization’s exposure to foreign exchange (FX) and evaluate the hedging strategies used to mitigate FX risks. SAP FX Risk Management enables SAP ERP to help organizations monitor their FX exposure, hedge positions, record transactions, and provide alerts, utilizing SAP’s pre-built features. This includes automatically calculating SAP FX risk within the general ledger by recording the net amount of a transaction in the transactional currency.
SAP’s Balance Sheet FX Risk application helps organizations understand FX risks associated with functional and business processes in the Treasury & Risk Management (TRM) module for SAP ERP systems. The Balance Sheet FX Risk tile displays balance sheet FX risk measures absolute exposures, absolute hedges, and absolute net exposures, as well as hedge amount and exposure, and amounts to standardize the company codes in exhibit currency.
Key capabilities include:
- Recording of foreign currency balances and transactions in the general ledger
- Automating posting of foreign exchange rate fluctuations to relevant accounts
- Generating balance sheet reports in different currencies
- Keeping up with advanced communication with counterparties through the correspondence system.

Key Considerations for SAPinsiders
Evaluate partner solutions that can potentially extend the functionality of SAP FX Risk. Many SAP partners, such as Serrala, offer specialized FX risk management solutions that complement the capabilities of SAP ERP. Organizations with unique requirements to manage FX risk and its balance sheet impact, beyond the standard best practices offered by SAP, should leverage the expertise of solutions partners and third-party solution providers to implement FX risk management systems that align to specific business needs.
Consider automation of labor-intensive FX Risk management processes. Organizations can enable their treasury teams to work on higher-value tasks by leveraging SAP’s FX Risk Management to automate manually intensive procedures, such as management of FX instruments, confirmation of financial transactions, payments, and accounting activities.
Leverage SAP FX Risk Management capabilities to improve operational compliance. By automating the transfer of FX exposure values to the general ledger, treasury teams can quickly examine open items and balances in unfamiliar cash of your general ledger accounts. In addition, to make better operational and strategic decisions, organizations can benefit from comprehensive reporting and analysis tools in FX Risk Management for SAP S/4HANA Cloud, such as multi-currency accounting.

Simplifying, Standardizing, and Automating SAP Close ActivitiesMar 30, 2023 — Financial close is consistently highlighted by SAPinsiders as one of the most challenging and complex aspects of their organization’s finance processes. Much of this complexity comes from the fact that many organizations rely on manual processes to address the close, leading to delays and errors that can stack up over time.
For SAP users, the financial close requires actions both in and outside of the ERP. Running T-codes, analyzing and validating results, running additional checks, and other essential functions must be done within SAP itself.
In this article, we will examine the importance of simplifying, standardizing, and automating close activities done within SAP, and the best way to streamline the activities so they are synced with the rest of the financial close process. We will also delve into how this expedited financial close process factors in with the move to SAP S/4HANA and how this streamlining benefits accounting and IT departments, freeing them up to spend time on more value-add work.
