Q: changing Global Currency 1 in OBIA 11.1.1.7.1

We started configuring BI Apps 11.1.1.7.1 and are not able to change the Global Currency 1 (and 2-5) from USD to EUR (or anything else). Same applies for Global Currency Exchange Rate Type 1-n.
In the Edit Parameter Value dialog, no values are displayed, and no edit is possible, although the icon does not indicate that this is a read-only parameter.
Any idea's what we are missing.
Thanks,
Luc

We finally got this to work, by adding an Externally Conformed Domains:
In the Functional Setup Data Configuration and Load Plan Administration
select Manage Externally Conformed Domains
Configure Domain for E-Business Suite:
    Currency
    Conformed Currency Rate Type
After this we could select EUR as global currency 1.
There may be other possibilities, let me know if you managed to use alternative solutions.
Best regards,
Luc

  • OBIA - Global Currency Code

    I have a question regarding the following parameters for OBIA:
    $$GLOBAL1_CURR_CODE
    $$GLOBAL2_CURR_CODE
    $$GLOBAL3_CURR_CODE
    In the Configuration guide, it specifically states the following:
    $$GLOBAL1_CURR_CODE is for Document Currency
    $$GLOBAL2_CURR_CODE is for Local Currency
    $$GLOBAL3_CURR_CODE is for Global Currency
    Question:
    1. My initial understanding was that the 3 parameters are just 3 options of defaulting the global currency on the report. So am I correct? Or each Global Curr Code parameter has a different purpose? And it is so, what is the purpose?
    2. With the prior paramters in mind, is each Global Exchange Rate Type parameter for each Global Current Code? i.e. $$GLOBAL1_CURR_CODE is for $$GLOBAL1_RATE_TYPE
    3. Could user create their own custom Global Exchange Rate Type? i.e. I see Corporate, User, EMU, and 2 custom types --> 1. Average 2. Monthly
    4. In the Oracle Analytics Warehouse, how are all this being reflected? I noticed that the fact tables store all three exchange rates. How will these exchange rate be reflected on the report? Or it is meant for custom reports and custom conversion between those three exchange rates?
    Thanks in advance,
    Alvin

    Bump. Any insight would be help. Thank you in advance!

  • How to change default currency in BI Apps

    We need to run siebel sales & marketing analytics . Now we have two questions.
    1. I can't find default currency parameter in DAC's Source System Parameters. How could we change the default currency from USD to CNY.
    2. We can run all jobs successfully, but most of area in BI Dashboard id displaied 'No resault' ... even if we use the copy of product data.

    Hi,
    In DAC>Source System Parameters > $$GLOBAL1_CURR_CODE parameter, here you need to change from USD to CNY. Refer OBIA document for these currency codes. Genereally $$GLOBAL1_CURR_CODE refers to Document currency, $$GLOBAL2_CURR_CODE refers to Local currency and $$GLOBAL3_CURR_CODE refers to Global currency.
    You need to change this code based on your requirement.
    Anyone correct me if am wrong....Hope this helps you.........

  • Use of global currencies in configuration

    Our site would only like to see their information in the local currency. We have no need for multiple global currencies. We configured the ETL with nulls in the three global currency fields, but notice that all the out of the box dashboards are going against the balance_global1_amt field. Is it standard to have the base currency also defined as the first global currency or is there a parameter that controls which field is choosen (local, global 1-3)?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Lyla

    Yes, the default is GLOBAL1..you set this up in the DAC as needed and this is what is used by default in the OOTB RPD. So if you need your Local only..you can set GLOBAL to be the same as local. OOTB you cannot dynamically change the currencies (at least as of the current 7.9.6.x version)..you would need to customize the RPD to get this functionality. Hope that helps.

  • Currency conversion error by changing the currency

    Hi all,
    i am facing a problem by refreshing the query with  another currency. f.e. i am calling the report in Euro and then i say refresh variables and change the currency in USD. So i get the same values and the currency conversion dont work.
    I get the following alert message after i change the currency and run the report.
    Diagnosis
    You attempted to convert a currency. The system cannot find a valid currency into which to convert the value.
    System Response
    The OLAP processor cannot convert the currency. The drilldown is not changed.
    Procedure
    Specify a valid target currency.
    Procedure for System Administration
    This message can only appear for Web templates in which currency conversion is set manually (using the SAP BW URL). If this message appears following a currency conversion dialog box, an SAP error has occurred; report this error using OSS.
    Can someone help me before i open a OSS error. Thanks.

    Hi,
    did you check the setting  in BI for source system ?
    Else just try it
    RSA1 - goto source system
    Expand SAP
    Context Menu of Source System
    There are
    Global Settings
    Transfer Exchange Rate
    Hope it will help you ...

  • Configuring Global Currencies in BI Apps 7.9.6 for EBS 11.5.10 Source

    Hi All,
    After reviewing the Configuring Common Areas and Dimensions section of the Oracle BI Applications document [Oracle Business Intelligence Applications Configuration Guide for Informatica PowerCenter Users Version 7.9.6 E14216-01|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14223_01/bia.796/e14216.pdf] I have a question regarding section +3.1.2 How to Configure Global Currencies+.
    Background
    OLTP Source: Oracle E-Business Suite 11.5.10
    OBI Apps: Financial Analytics 7.9.6
    We have 49 enabled Currencies and multiple Sets of Books (SOBs) each with a different Functional Currency and I am concerned with the limitations of the Global Currencies configuration within OBI Apps. From the documentation it states that:
       Global currencies. Oracle BI Applications provides three global currencies, which are the common currencies used by the Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse. I'm keen to know if the 3 standard Global Currencies can be extended by adding further custom parameters in the Source System Parameters e.g. $$GLOBAL4_CURR_CODE, $$GLOBAL5_CURR_CODE, etc. and corresponding Exchange Rate parameters $$GLOBAL4_RATE_TYPE, etc.
    From the documentation definition of Document, Local and Global currencies, the following configuration for the Global currencies does not make much sense:
    $$GLOBAL1_CURR_CODE (for the document currency).
    $$GLOBAL2_CURR_CODE (for the local currency).
    $$GLOBAL3_CURR_CODE (for the global currency).Presumably these should be the 3 standard Global Currency definitions. If so, I want to confirm that the Document and Local currencies get picked up automatically depending on your EBS configuration?
    Thanks for your time, all input greatly appreciated... and points duly awarded :-)
    Have a great day.
    Kind Regards,
    Gary.

    Hi,
    The 3 Global currency codes are different from functional , local currency.
    All the transactions are brought into the warehouse and there is no limitation to the number of currencies that can be brought in but for reporting purpose you want to convert all these transactions in multiple currencies to a single currency ...lets say US$ and at a monthly rate or GBP at a spot rate etc..
    So in a nutshell the document and local currenclies do come in and there is no configuration needed but translation to a global reporting currency and the rates at which its converted is determined by what you provide in DAC.. the conversion is done by mplt_currency_conversion which is present in each and every fact mapping.

  • How to change the currency of the order  while creating the sales order??

    Hi all,

    Hi
    Goto VA01 and try to create the order with reference to the Old order
    and after that order details are copied to the New order then, change the Sold to party and the currency in the Sales order Header and see? whether it allows you to change it or gives some error? then based on that you have to check and do further processing.
    Try and see
    If it won't allows you to change
    then create a New SO with the new sold to and currency and just take the old orders data from VBAK and VBAP tables and enter into the new order fields and save it will be created.

  • Change the currency of Operating Concern COPA

    Hi,
    In my SAP environment there are 4 controlling areas. Only one of them is assigned to Operating concern. The remaining 3 have COPA inactive.
    I would like to extend the existing operating concern to remaining 3 controlling areas, but before I do that I need to change the Operating concern currency as the one currently set is only relevant for only one controlling area and company code which is GBP. I need to change it to group currency - USD.
    When I use F1 help on currency field in Operating Concern settings in configuration, I get information that 'once data has been posted, however, a change in the operating concern currency would cause the existing data to be interpreted as if it were posted in the new currency (for example: USD 1000.00 in old currency -> DEM 1000.00 in new currency).'
    Even though we have transactional data posted in that operating concern , it is not being used by any department and we are quite happy to have existing data interpreted in USD instead of GBP. No reports are being generated in COPA currently so it will not be an issue for us. We want new data to be proper and constistent.
    When I try to change the currency in operating concern config, the field is greyed out. I believe there is  more complex workaround for that, but the only note I found on this is  651142 which says that SAP provides different tools to reorganize operating concern. But no further details are included.
    If anybody managed to change operating concern currency, please help me with that.
    Regards,
    Karol

    Hi Karol
    I read the note given by you.. It asks you to contact the SAP for SLO Service (System Landscape Optimization )
    This is a chargeable service by SAP... In case you decide to go ahead with this, do share your experience with us
    Create an OSS msg and give ref of this note... I would suggest to go with SAP service and not with any one else's experiences... The tools that SAP is talking about are available only with SAP..
    You may try to archive the existing data from COPA tables and then see if the currency field opens up for editing.. Am not sure about it..

  • How to report with local and global currency in Deliveries?

    Dear all,
    i am working on a delivery scenario where i have in the datasource NETWR(Net value
    ), WAERK (Document currency).
    I would like to be able to report with local currency and global currency.
    Could you please help by explaining how to proceed?
    Thank you.
    Cheers

    Hi Gilo,
    You have to check with the business on the following.
    1) What would be the key date of currency conversion? Is this any document date from the transaction ( Delivery Date ) or report execution date?
    2) What would be the target currency ? ( for local and Global currency ). Whether this can be determined at the time of loading or should it be based on user selection criteria?
    3) What is the exchange rate type that has to be used? ( for example 'M' ).
    Once you have the answers to these questions, you can decide whether to do the currency conversion in the backend or front end in the report during runtime.
    For example, if the user wants to input the target currency on selection variable and wants to use the exchage rate as of the report execution date, then this currency onversion has to be done at runtime.
    For more details,Please check help.sap.com or SDN

  • Need to have ability to change payment currency in invoice form...

    Hi All,
    I need to have the ability to change payment currency in invoice form.
    For example my invoice currency is USD then I need to select HKD in payment currency option. But right now there is only USD available in payment currency.
    Also I need to know how and from where the type, invoice and payment currency details are automatically fetched when opening the invoice form.
    Thanks,
    R. Bala

    Bala,
    From the User Manual:
    Invoice Currency. The supplier invoice currency is used as a default for new supplier sites you enter. The supplier site invoice currency is used as a default for the Purchasing documents and Payables transactions you enter for a supplier.
    Payment Currency. The default for Payment Currency in the Suppliers window is the value you enter for supplier Invoice Currency. You can change the Payment Currency value only if the Invoice Currency has associated fixed-rate currencies (for example, euro). If the Invoice Currency is a fixed-rate currency, you can change the Payment Currency value to an associated fixed-rate currency. The supplier Payment Currency is used as a default for all new supplier sites you enter.
    The supplier site Payment Currency is the default for the Payment Currency field in the Invoices window. It is also the default currency for invoices you create for this supplier site by using Payment on Receipt, Open Interface Import, and Recurring Invoices.
    Hope this helps.

  • Change of Currency

    Hi everyone,
    I want to know how to change the type of currency in a report.
    They ask me to change the currency from DOP to USD in the report (transaction ME49).
    It has been a hassle to me because first of all I'm new in ABAP.
    can someone help me?
    Thanks in advanced,
    Fidel.
    Message was edited by: Fidel Peralta

    Hi Fidel,
    If you have to perform a currency conversion in your ABAP,
    you can use these Fucntion Module ( SE37 ):
    CONVERT_TO_FOREIGN_CURRENCY
    CONVERT_TO_LOCAL_CURRENCY
    It's the best way to do that.
