How do most organizations manage Exchange Rates?

Typically organizations maintain Exchange rates in their ERP application. Daily conversion rates of currencies from all around the world are sourced using services like Bloomberg, Oanda and Reuters. These rates are used to provide Average (AVG) and End of Month (EOM) rates for EPM applications.

How to extract Currency rates from Oracle ERP On-Premise vs. ERP Cloud?

With on-premise ERP systems like Oracle E-Business Suite it was quite simple to extract these rates for EPM applications. Unfortunately, this is more challenging for customers who migrated to Oracle ERP Cloud. GL balances on the one hand can be extracted easily from the GL Balances cube in ERP Cloud. For extracting Currency rates, on the other hand, there isn’t an easy way to extract them from Oracle ERP Cloud to load them to Oracle EPM applications.

How do most EPM administrators load FX rates?

The short answer is: manually, every month, to multiple applications which require different load formats.
