Forward contracts could be used to cover the future anticipated cash flows. These give you certainty of exchange rate, allowing you to meet budget targets. Timing uncertainties could be managed in a variety of ways, from entering into an "option dated" forward or changing the ultimate value date of the transaction with the use of the FX swaps.
An alternative however, would be for you to purchase an option that gives you protection at your budget rate, but with no obligation to enter into the actual exchange at that level. This strategy would give you additional opportunity to benefit from a future improvement in the exchange rate whilst ensuring at worst, your budget rate will be met.
