There are two basic views that a user can take advantage of and each provides different information. The Top of the House view consolidates all exposures loaded to the system and presents them as the risk to the “Parent” functional currency. This is the risk from the parent’s perspective of all the cash flows in the organization, where you can see the impact of those exposures and the existing hedges on the overall FX picture. (Please note, generally these exposures do not qualify for Hedge Accounting and would typically be hedged as Mark to Market). The other view is “By Entity”, which allows for the consolidation of exposures and hedges at the entity level for hedge accounting capacity analysis, displaying the exposures by currency. (Please note, you can load exposures in the functional currency of the entity however since this is not an economic risk to the entity they would not appear here, but do flow up to the parent for analysis).
