Business Rule Currency Conversion and Carry Forward

Hello Guys,
I have a question related to the Business Rules Currency Conversion and Carry Forward
I configured the business rule "Currency Conversion" and I selected "Apply to Periodic". What this rules does with the flag selected is to get the value of the previous month converted and add the factor (Local Currency previos month - Local Currency Actual month) * Exchange Rate of Current Month
For Example: USD previos month +
This rule applies perfectly from FEB to DEC but if I run it for January, it does not consider the value of USD previos month and LC previous month for calculations so the result I get is:
(and of course it´s because it only applies to periodic)
I need to include into my results this amounts and factor so the question is: Is not a flag I can activate to force the system to act as it does for FEB to DEC periodic ??
I also set up the Business Rule "Carry Forward" so with this rule Im able to bring values converted in USD from DEC to JAN for example from a Data Source Input, but the problem is that it erase any other value I have in other Data Source members and I need to keep that info.
Hope you can come with a suggestion.
Im working with SAP BPC NW 7.5 SP08

Hello guys,
Yes, my fiscal year is from JAN to DEC and Im using a YTD app,
As you mentioned for P&L accounts the rule works fine; but we want to carry forward LEQ accounts. Is there a way to use or configure the currency conversion rule with the flag "Apply to Periodic" to carry forward LEQ accounts for the next following year?
Here is how we configured our Carry Forward Business Rule
Source and Destionation account = 4111
Source and destionation Flow= FCLO
Reverse Sign= False
Data Source Type= ALL
Same Period= False
Apply to Periodic=False
Opening Data Source=DatosBase
Source Data Source = AJ_AC

Using currency conversion and text variable at the same time

Hi all,
In a 3.5 bex query, i am applying currency conversion on a key figure with a variable of 0currency.
as i know, to be able to apply currency conversion, variable of currency should not be in Free characteristics or in Filter.
it has to be selected only on the key figure.
but now, i want to use text variable for selected currency (with type replacement path). But as i know, to be able to use text variable, variable of currency has to be
in Free characteristics or in Filter.
Can you please advise, how to both use currency conversion and text variable on currency?
Thanks in advance.
Sancho

Sancho,
I'm not 100% sure about this, but I'm thinking that if you are pulling the text variable from a selection in a structure, you should not need it in the free characteristic or filter. Try creating a structure, placing the currency in it as a selection, and creating a text variable as the title for the selection that is based on the currency. This may help.
Cheers,
Rusty

Rate application and business rule Currency Converison

Hi experts,
Could anyone help me about the following confusion? thanks.
Typically if talking about currency translation, we have to find a way to find out source currency, target currency and rate to calculate.
According to BPC logic(If i was right)
1) source currency is determined from property of dimension Entity.
2) Rate type is decided by Account dimension .
My questions are:
1) where could I define the target currency I convert to ? I have to point out when running DM package? I read from document - we can specify G or R type currency in currency dimension, does that mean the conversion will run on each of them in default way?
2) what will happen if currency defined in Entity dimension's property is NOT identical with currency of transaction data stored in Legal Application?
Our task is to convert data stored in Legal App, isn't it?
3) If you check Rate application, there is only one field to input currency. Why not two currencies are ready to input? Field currency A and currency B, then rate of conversion?
Your help is much appropriated.
Thanks.

When the data is loaded in transaction currency , then make sure you dont run Currency Translation program for that data region . If currency translation ran for that data region , program offsets all amounts that are loaded in transaction currency . Check 4 th page of this very good [blog|http://www.sapdiary.com/index.php?view=article&catid=76%3Asap-business-objects-overview&id=2522%3Asap-network-blog-bpc-for-net-weaver&format=pdf&option=com_content&Itemid=76] on Currency Translation by Richard Jabbour.
The standard behavior of currency conversion expects LC to be entered. If one does nothing
but installs the program call in FXTRANS and Default logic, an entry in NON LC currency
members will result in an immediate offsetting negative amount negating the entry.
Hope this helps.

Bex to Business Objects - Currency Conversion error in Webi

Hello,
I am attempting to transfer a Bex 7 key figure currency conversion to a Business Objects filter in a Universe for display in a Webi report. The version of Business Objects XI 3.1 SP2. The Bex Conversion Type is based off Calendar Month, and the Target Currency variable is a selection prompt. The filter is passed to the universe and prompts when the report is ran in Webi, but an error occurs if the currency is populated. For instance, if I populate the filter in Webi with 'USD', the following error occurs: The MDS query SELECT "....." failed to execute with the error Value 'USD' FOR variable "Currency" is invalid (WIS 10901).
I'm not sure if the currency conversion information is being properly transferred and translated to Business Objects. Does anyone have any insight on this issue?
Thank you,
Brock

I was able to modify the dimension for the filter to retrieve the correct object (Ex. USD), but there are multiple incorrect selections for USD and other currency types. For instance, when I type in USD i get 5 different options, and the one with the description 'American Dollar' is the correct one. Why is Webi displaying all these different options? When I display the options for currency in Bex only one 'USD' is shown in the list. Here is my filter condition for currency type in the Universe:
<OPTIONAL><FILTER KEY="[SELCUR]"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal"><CONSTANT TECH_NAME="@Prompt('Select Currency','A','Organization\Cur Key',mono,primary_key)"/></CONDITION></FILTER></OPTIONAL>
Cur Key is my customized hidden dimension
Thank you

Error in Currency Conversion and calculated conversion rate is too big

When I am trying to execute the Query,I can see the result but I received below Warning messages.
Also I am not authorized to check the conversion rate using TCURR.
1) Calculated conversion rate 301.149,42529 is too big.
The exchange rate 301.149,42529 was calculated via the base currency USD.This produced a rate which exceeds the maximum allowed value of 9999.99999.
System response : The Processing can not be continued because the calculated rate cannot be used.
2) Error occurred during currency conversion.
You attempted to Convert the currency.The system cannot find the valid currency into which to convert the value.
The OLAP Processor cannot convert the currency.The drilldown is not changed.
3) No Exchange rate from TRY to EUR and date 13.11.2009 is found.
Please reply.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks fr the info. that u all hv given ..... I ran one program frm our side which will be updating the transfer exchange rates as u all have mentioned. But then , i am receiving the warnings.
Also,when i have checked the conversion rates,they r fine.
Please find the Below diagnosis ,which they hv given.
Diagnosis:
The exchange rate 301.149,42529- was calculated via the base currency USD. This produced a rate which exceeds the maximum allowed value of 9999.99999.
System Response:
The processing can not be continued because the calculated rate can not be used.
Procedure:
Check the conversion rate to the base currency USD and the exchange rate type E. If the rates are correct, you must agree different conversion factors for the currencies in question (e.g. 100:1 instead of 1:1), so that the resulting conversion rate does not exceed the value 9999.99999.

Please solve this issue.Thanks in advance!

Business Rules: Account transformation and the source YEAR / PERIOD

Ladies and gents,
lets assume you have an amount of 100 on account A everymonth for 2 years.
in my business rules, account transforamtion, i put those sales to be transfer to an account B.
When i put DEC in period and -1 in year, then it will post the previous year cumulated amount of A to B. So be will have 1200
Now, lets assume I put 9 in period and -1 in year then it will bring me the total of previous year October if i am in january Y1, or previous year November if i am in february... But then in march, april, ... until the end of the year it will bring previous year December.
Now, when i put -3 in period and no change in year, for january, it brings january, for february it brings february, for march it brings march... But on April it brings january as expect...
I want it to come with 0 for the first 3 month... and only start in april!! Why does it do that considering that it for the previous example +3 after march always brings december... why then -3 in january doesnt bring nothin!!
Nic

Custom exceptions and carrying forward stack trace

Hi, I have a question on exception handling.
I have written an application which has several custom exceptions. When an exception occurs, sometimes I throw it and then when its caught, wrapping it in another exception like so:
} catch (Exception e){
throw new CollectionFailedException(this.getName() + " could not get collection", e);
This works fine, but when I output the stacktrace, it only goes as far as the new exception, making things more difficult to debug. Is there any way of incrementing the stack trace using the first exception?
Many thanks for any help offered!
Marc

Marc, this is expected behaviour. When you throw a new exception, the stacktrace starts off at the new one. A really nice explanation and sample code for creating new Exceptions and extending the Exception class is located at:
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-09-2001/jw-0914-exceptions.html
Good luck, fstream

Best Practice for carrying forward monthly forecast data??

Dear all:
I am in the process of building demo for monthly forecast. I have 12 forecast categories for each period of the fiscal year. However, I am wondering whether there is a best practice to carry forward data in current forecast (month) category into the next forecast (month) category, besides running a standard copy at every month end.
For instance, let's say I am in June, and I would forecast in a category named "JunFcst" for the period 2010.06, 2010.07, 2010.08... 2010.12. For the example purpose let's say I enter a value of 100 for each time period.
When next month comes, I would select "JulFcst", which is supposed to initially carry the numbers I have entered in JunFcst. In other words, 2010.07 ~ 2010.12 in JulFcst should show a value of 100. There is no need to carry forward data prior 2010.07 because these months have the actual already.
I know I can easily carry forward data in JunFcst to JulFcst category by running a standard copy data package, or perhaps use some allocation logic. But if I choose this approach, I will run the copy or allocation package at month end manually every month, or create/schedule a 12 unique copy data packages for each month respectively. Another approach is to use default logic to copy the data on the fly from JunFcst to JulFcst. I am less inclined to this because of the performance impact.
Is there anyway to create just one script logic that is intelligent enough to copy from one forecast category to another based on the current month? Is there a system function that can grab the current month info within the script logic?
Thanks a bunch!
Brian

Which business rule (i.e. transformation, carry-forward) do you suggest? I looked into carry-forward but didn't think it will work due to the fact that it carries forward within the same category. Also, because we currently do not use carry-forward, we do not have a sub-dimension created...
Thank you!

Currency Converion and Business Rule questions

Hi all,
I am new to BPC and would appreciate if you can help me answer few of my questions. I was going through how to documents on currency conversion and Business Rules.
1. The Flow in Currency Conversion and Business Rules different?
2. Can Currency conversion be done without defining the Currency Rules?
3. In Business Rules Detail there is a cloumn for Sign. How should one determine what sign should go for a given account?
Thanks,
Diksha.

Venkatesh,
It seems like you are using Company as your Entity type dimension.
Try to change your code to look like this
*RUN_PROGRAM CURR_CONVERSION
     CATEGORY = %CATEGORY_SET%
     SELECT(%CURRENCY_SET_ID%,"[ID]",CURRENCY,"CURRENCY_TYPE='R'")
     TID_RA = %TIME_SET%
     RATEENTITY = GLOBAL
    OTHER = [COMPANY=%COMPANY_SET%]
*ENDRUN_PROGRAM

Currency conversion rule not executing for manual journal entries.

Hi,
We have currency conversion business rule set in our project. THis business rule is not converting LC to other currencies for manual journal posting entries. i.e, it is audit id with DATASRC_TYPE="M".
Can any one let me know if any specific settings are to be done for this to work?
Regards,
Swetha

Hi,
Is the currency conversion working on the other datasources?
If yes, then try to post some record through input schedule in the M datasource, run the currency conversion, and see if the currency conversion is working fine or not.

Business rules to implement - BEST way - triggers and mutating table

I have the following table where it has Foreign Key defined on itself(self reference for parent_id column which can be null or valid site_id)
create table test_virtual_site
site_id number CONSTRAINT site_id_pk primary key,
parent_id number CONSTRAINT parent_site_id_unq UNIQUE ,
closed_date date default NULL ,
CONSTRAINT check_self_ref CHECK(parent_site_id <> site_id), --avoid self refernce
CONSTRAINT check_valid_site foreign key(parent_site_id) references test_virtual_site(site_id)
I have the following business rules to implement and my problem is related to their implementation
1)     A check should be made that Site_id specified as parent_id should not be a child of any other store (parent should have its parent_id column as NULL)
Site_id Parent_id
1
2 1
3 2 =>NOT VALID 2 is a child of another store
2)     Parent is not closed
Site_id Parent_id Closed_date
1 10-May-2005
3     1 =>NOT VALID 1 is a closed
3)
when parent store is closed - updated so at closed_date is not null
Want to set the parent_id as NULL for the child store.
OR
SET the closed_date for child store too same as the parent_store.
Example
Site_id Parent_id Closed_date
1
1 2
Update test_virtual_site
SET closed_date = sysdate
Where site_id = 1 ;

When I am trying to do the above mentioned through constraints I am running into mutating trigger problem. Can you please guide me what is the best way to handle the above-mentioned scenarios.
I am aware that I can avoid the 3rd problem using the following
-- - Initialize an array in the before statement trigger.
-- - Add the processed rowid to the array in the after row
-- trigger.
-- - In the after statement trigger: get each rowid from the
-- array and process it. When all rowids are processed, clear
-- the array.
BUT for 1 and 2 I need to look at the parent specified , the parent exists in the same table BUT I can not perform the lookup from the BEFORE INSERT ROW LEVEL trigger but I want to ensure at the row level , so if the parent store is closed or parent specifed itself is a child(not permissible) I want to rollback the insert RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR.

Business rules and active databses

All,
Are there any good links where I can read about the limitations of active database features (such as constraints and triggers) and other options and alternatives to implementing business rules?
Regards

BPM and a rules engine are different. Both are important, but they have different uses.
Oracle BPM Studio is used by Business Analysts and Developers to model processes, integrate underlying components (including business rules) and develop user interfaces.
There's an Engine that executes the processes that have been modeled. It sends the work item instances to the right person or persons with the right data when the work item reaches an interactive activity in the process. Similarly the Engine has invokes the underlying components specified in the process when the work item instance reaches an automatic activity.
There's an out of the box Workspace runtime that lets end users manage and run their work item instances as they flow throughout the processes.
We can business rules inside the processes, but one does not replace the other.

Currency Conversion is not happenig in webform

Hi,
I have created three more members in period dimension along with BegBalance and YearTotal.
My period hierarchy looks like this.
Period
BegBalance
YearTotal
Q1
Q2
Q3
Q4
2008 Actual thru Sept (Formula: = Actual->Q1 + Actual->Q2 + Actual->Q3;)
Estimated Oct-Dec 2008 (Formula: = Budget->Q4;)
Estimated Total Cost 2008 (Formula: = "2008 Actual thru Sept" + "Estimated Oct-Dec 2008 ";)
First tell me can we craete more mebers like this in Perion dimension?
I have created the above members and tagged a formula to it as shown in braces.
Now my problem is data is coming for local currency only. When i change my currency, YearTotal members are converting but these newly added members are not converting and showing blank fileds.
My doubt is can we add extra members like above in period dimension?
Whether currency conversion happens to formula tagged members also?
If yes, what could be the problem in my scenario?
Thanks,
Naveen

Naveen,
I suspect that your currency conversion business rule is excluding these new members. It was probably created before the new members were added. (I don't have a standard FX conversion rule in front of me, but I think it fixes on specific time periods - I could be wrong. ) You can either:
1) Make sure your new Period members are in fact included in the currency conversion business rule and re-run that script.
2) Make your new time period members dynamic. (and not have to worry about currency conversion and what calc's first (your new members vs. the FX conversion))
I would try #2 first, as it's a quick fix. Just switch the data storage, refresh the cube, and re-test.
I assume you have Period and Accounts as Dense, with the remainder of your dimensions Sparse. Is this correct?
Let me know how it goes.
Hope this helps,
- Jake
