Exporters live in two currencies at once: they bill the buyer in USD, EUR or another currency, but value shipments and report in INR. The exchange rate sits in the middle of every invoice and value declaration — and if it's stale or inconsistent, your numbers drift. ExportCRM handles this with auto-updated DGFT exchange rates across 22 currencies, so billing and valuation stay accurate.

Why exchange rates matter in export billing

Quick answer

Exchange rates matter because exporters bill in foreign currency but declare value and report in INR. An outdated rate distorts the export value declaration, the invoice and the margin. ExportCRM uses official DGFT exchange rates, refreshed every six hours, to keep these consistent.

Customs valuation in India references DGFT-notified exchange rates. If your invoice uses one rate and your declaration another, the mismatch creates reconciliation headaches and potential compliance questions.

Automating the rate removes that risk — the same official rate flows into invoicing and valuation.

How ExportCRM handles multi-currency

Quick answer

ExportCRM auto-scrapes and caches DGFT exchange rates across 22 currencies, refreshed every six hours, and applies them to per-order invoicing that supports multiple payments. Government receivables and expected vs received dates sit alongside on the same order.

Keeping billing and claims in sync

Quick answer

Because ExportCRM keeps invoicing, multi-currency rates and government receivables on the same order, foreign-currency billing and claim tracking stay reconciled. Expected vs received dates make outstanding foreign payments and pending claims visible together.

When billing and claims live on the same order record, you see the full financial picture of a shipment in one place — what the buyer owes, in which currency, and what the government still owes you.

That shared context is what makes month-end reconciliation fast instead of a cross-spreadsheet hunt.
