Local, Document and Third Currency Driven Amount?

Question

Guys, in the presentation and RPD layer, i see local, document amounts for just about every Fin Analytics subject area.
What if the we want to have a "reporting" currency in EURO (example only). How do we expose that column into presentation layer?
I see no "Global" column in the RPD except the following:
Global Currency Code --> Currency Attributes
Balance Global1 Amount --> Facts - GL Balance
What about something like "Global Amount" which show data in EURO.
Thanks for any pointers.

Answer 1

HI,
The currency codes for the GLOBAL currencies are set in DAC configuration. See section "3.1.2 How to OCnfigure Global Currencies" in the "Oracle® Business Intelligence Applications Configuration Guide for Informatica PowerCenter Users Version 7.9.6.1 " manual if you are on 7.9.6.1 or 2 or the same section in the 7.9.6.3 version of the manual if that is appropriate.
This goes through how to set your Global Currencies so they are populated correctly in the datawarehouse.
For example if you set Global1 to be EUR then your Balance Global1 Amount --> Facts - GL Balance presentation column will be in EUR.
Alos in ither financial SA's the GLOBAL1 amount is used as the amount e.g. AP Amount -> Facts AP Transactions. If you look at the Logical source for this it's computed from the GLOBAL1 columns.
Hope this helps.
