A blended group cash line hides the currency moves underneath it. A Multi-Currency Cash Forecasting Playbook reads cash balances by currency from your ERP and bank feeds, forecasts each on its own clock, and quantifies the translation risk that lands when a foreign-currency receivable settles.
The Challenge
Cash is reported as a single group total in the functional currency. The blend hides the fact that a large EUR balance is about to swing as a receivable settles, so the translation move arrives as a surprise on the consolidation.
A spreadsheet can convert each currency at today rate, but it cannot tell you how the group position moves if EUR shifts 5% in the week the receivable clears. The risk is in the timing, and a static conversion misses it.
Balances and rates move daily. A multi-currency view built by hand at month end is stale the moment a receivable lands or a rate moves, and the week the translation risk concentrates has usually passed before anyone sees it.
How eyko Solves It
A Multi-Currency Cash Forecasting Playbook connects to your ERP, bank feeds, AR, and AP, forecasts cash by currency on a regular beat, and quantifies the translation risk in the group position with the currency, the settlement week, and the size of the move ranked behind it.
Group cash sits in four currencies. USD holds 14.2M, EUR 6.8M, GBP 4.1M, and other 1.3M. The position is healthy in aggregate, but the EUR balance is the one that moves, not the blended group line.

Multi-currency cash forecasting projects cash by currency instead of as one blended group total. The Playbook reads balances and forecast receipts and payments by currency from your ERP and bank feeds, then shows how each currency moves on its own clock, so treasury sees that the EUR balance is the one swinging this quarter rather than a flat consolidated line.
This is decision intelligence in practice: the what, the why, and the what next from your live data.

Everything you need to know about Multi-Currency Cash Forecasting.
Multi-currency cash forecasting projects cash by currency rather than as a single blended group total. eyko reads balances and forecast receipts and payments by currency from your ERP and bank feeds, forecasts each currency on its own clock, and quantifies the translation risk in the group position so treasury sees which currency moves and in which week.
A static conversion shows the position now but misses the timing. Translation risk concentrates in the week a large foreign-currency balance settles. The Playbook forecasts each currency forward, ties the moves to the receivables and payables driving them, and shows how a rate shift moves the translated group position in that specific week.
It reads from your ERP general ledger, AR and AP, and your bank feeds, alongside any data platform you already run. There is no separate data project to start, and it works with systems such as SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, and Workday.
Once connected, the Playbook returns cash by currency and the translation risk behind it on its next beat, in minutes rather than the days a manual build usually takes, then refreshes as balances and rates move so the position stays current.
