#### **1. Overview**

As part of onboarding, CNS will have already loaded your FX exposures into the platform. This guide covers how to maintain those exposures over time.

---

#### **2. Viewing Your FX Exposures**

You can view exposures in two main ways:

1. **FX Dashboard**
   
     - Select a business unit (or leave blank to view all)
     - See your current exposures (e.g., 5.1 million) in summary form.
2. **Data View**
   
     - Go to **FX → View Data → View Forecast Data** for a detailed breakdown.

---

#### **3. Updating Exposures Manually**

You can make quick edits directly in the **View Forecast Data** screen:

1. Find the forecast you want to change.
2. Update the notional amount (e.g., change from 5 million to 4 million).
3. Click **Save**.

You can also:

- **Add new forecasts** by entering payment date, forecast currency, counter currency, and amount.
- **Edit existing forecasts** to reflect new amounts or details.

---

#### **4. Updating Exposures via Bulk Upload**

For larger updates, use the bulk upload function:

1. **Download the Template**
   
     - Go to **FX → View Data → View Forecast Data**.
     - Use the dropdown to select **Export Bulk Upload Format**.
2. **Fill in the Template**  
   Key fields include:
   
     - **Action:** Update, Delete, or Add.
     - **Document ID:** Internal reference such as purchase order or forecast ID.
     - **Notional Currency** and **Counter Currency**.
     - **Notional Amount**.
     - **Type:** Forecast or Committed.
     - **Direction:** Payment or Receipt.
     - **Start Date**.
     - **Unit Rate** and **Note Field** (optional).
3. **Make Changes**
   
     - Update amounts, delete outdated forecasts, or add new ones.
4. **Import the File**
   
     - Go to **Client Import**.
     - Browse for your updated file and click **Import Data**.
5. **Check for Errors**
   
     - If any lines contain errors (e.g., invalid currency codes), an error box will appear.
     - Correct the errors in Excel, save, and re-upload.
     - No error box means the upload was successful.

---

#### **5. Confirming Updates**

After uploading, rerun your FX Dashboard to confirm:

- Updated totals.
- Forecasts extending to future periods (e.g., 2026 and beyond).

You can also check the **View Forecast Data** screen for detailed confirmation.
