Dutch term or phrase: Dat zit niet in de koes.

After a statement that turnover is based on dollars and costs are based on euros, there are the statements:
Een tijd geleden kon je voor een euro nog 1,50 dollar krijgen, nu nog 1,20 dollar. Dat zit niet in de koes.
It's not a matter of the exchange rate (although it would appear to be a matter of the exchange rate)?
I think that another possible translation of this expression could be 'That's not on track', but that does not seem to fit here.
