  Adjust Nominals: If the total of the hedged items exceeds the exposure, you may need to adjust the nominal values of either the hedged items or the exposure to ensure they are aligned.
  Reassess Hedging Strategy: Evaluate your hedging strategy to ensure it is appropriate for the underlying exposure. If necessary, modify the hedging instruments or the exposure itself.
  Data Validation: Validate the data entered for both the exposure and the hedged items to ensure accuracy. Look for any typographical errors or incorrect entries.
