Exchange Rate options for SaaS metrics

There are 3 different options for what date to consider for the exchange rate used in SaaS metrics

  1. Booking Date. The date that the deal was sold
  2. Particular date. A calendar date that you choose and it doesn’t move (one fixed exchange rate applied to every single transaction)
  3. Revenue Spread Date. The date of the SaaS revenue spread (the exchange rate used in this case is the first of the month).
    1. This option makes the MRR of a flat contract vary from month to month as the exchange rate fluctuates
