Across the trade, currency and fx exposure is the point where good intentions meet operational reality on the Vibe 3.
Retail staff rarely ask about currency and fx exposure directly, but their questions almost always lead back to it.
Why currency and fx exposure matters on the Vibe 3
Quotations are normally held in a single currency for a stated validity window.
Keeping a short internal note on currency and fx exposure for each SKU pays for itself the first time a dispute arises over the Vibe 3.
