 Pricing: Exchange Rate Forecast

 

This feature enables you to use the exchange rate forecast function within the CPE formula evaluation if you have activated the TRM, Financial Risk Management for Commodities 4 (FIN_TRM_COMM_RM_4) business function.

The exchange rate forecast function extends the available function that used provisional values for exchange rates that are not yet available. Instead of using historic exchange rates or other provisional rules, the system can now also use FX forward rates for the provisional evaluation that are calculated based on FX swap rates.
