When you click Report, you can select either of the following:

Foreign Exchange Exposure: This report includes information on the company’s exposure to the foreign currency market for the selected currencies and various date ranges (buckets – up to 12 allowed). Exposure is calculated in different categories if they are based on a foreign currency. Exposures used are: Contracts (Cargo/COA Freight and Commissions, Time Charter Hire and Commissions, and Port Costs specified on the contracts), Operations (Freight, Hire Commissions, and Port Expenses) and Finance (Outstanding Freight, Hire, Commissions and Port Expenses, through invoices that are not yet paid in full).
Exclusions: This report includes Cargoes with invalid data that are therefore excluded from the Foreign Exchange Exposure report (Port, Port Function, Port Expense, Currency, and order of itinerary do not match the load/discharge ports of the contract's linked Benchmark Estimate). The Exclusions report has the following columns: Company, Contract ID (Reference No. on the Cargo form), Benchmark Estimate ID, Ports in Cargo Itinerary (L/D only), Ports in Benchmark Estimate Itinerary (L/D only).
