  • Exchange Rate Management: ERP systems have built-in tools to manage exchange rates, which can be updated regularly based on market rates or preset intervals.
  • Multi-Currency Transactions: ERP systems enable users to conduct transactions, such as sales orders and purchases, in various currencies.
  • Financial Reporting in Different Currencies: ERP systems provide financial reporting options in multiple currencies, allowing organizations to view financial data in the currency of their choice.
