Problems
- In multi-currency enterprises, users must manually update exchange rates daily. This task becomes increasingly time-consuming and prone to errors when the business deals with multiple foreign currencies and uses services from various banks.

It automatically updates the exchange rates periodically every hour, including Buy/Sell/Transfer rates, with the last update timestamp recorded.
