For instant one off transactions it is simple. For delayed (when order is delivered) or repeated/recurring (salary, installments, ongoing fees) to cancel the currency risk you need to also have futures or options and deal with counterparty risks and have the reverse risk if the order is cancelled and you still have the matching future.

It gets really complicated quickly and for most people best just to get the one most aligned with their costs/spending and then they can enter currency speculation if they want to.
