Ability to perform Fx Translation During Consolidation for multiple group currencies

Hi Experts,
We have a BPC 7.5 MS system with 4 group currencies USD EUR etc. We would like to have a currency translation to all of them as a result of consolidation, at the base group level (G_NONE).
Is this functionality possible?
Has anyone been able to do so?
Currently, we can run FX restatement, which performs the translation to the 4 reporting currencies, but when we run consolidation all results but the final top node reporting currency is deleted.
We noted the multiple currencies in the group dimension (Consoscope) G_NONE and corporate consoscopes but it did not work. The 4 currencies are noted as "R" reporting currencies CURRENCY_TYPE
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Eyal,
Can you be more specific? Do you mean all the result is deleted? Can you provide some screenshots to explain what the symptom is and what the result you are expecting.
Best regards,
Charlie

Consolidation in Multiple Group Currencies - Copy

Hi,
does one of you have any experience in copying all data from one version, say USD, to another one, say EUR. We intend to achieve that via copy tasks through the monitor, obviously we need three of them (level 00, level 10 and others). We do not intend to post in the second currency. So in order to keep the monitor as simple as possible we intend to create another version for the second currency which will only have the absolute minumum of tasks, so BCF, 3 copy tasks and maybe a validation.
Have not tested yet, but would be keen to get some feedback from you guys.
thanks, Clemens

Hi,
our experiences are somewhat similar - they are very good.
So far we have not encountered any problem, expect that we are waiting for SAP to solve an issue (we could not customize PCC at all, so we could not test copying of 02/12/22/30). Have to say that we have not finished testing yet.
We will most likeley load&copy using the cumulative option, however, we are a bit flexible and will have another look at that setting upon finishing testing.

Multiple group currency consolidation

if the consolidation is required to be done globally in USD and regional consolidation in different currencies...It is mandatory to create seperate consolidation area if the group currency differs...
or can I handle by different versions...
Please share your experience ... which one is ideal...

Hi,
Agreed that it is not necessary to have a seperate version for multiple Grp Currencies...It might be relevant for you to consider creating a version however...if it can simplify your process. I do not believe it is possible to copy data between 'group currencies'...meaning that if you consolidate in multiple group currencies, then you need to load your data numerous times (data collection).
We had complex data collection and many validations. They also posted local currency journal entries. In this scenario, the country performed a local consolidation (in the local group currency) first...and thereafter head office would need to consolidate.
Rather than reload the data and have to 'repost' all manual document types, it was easier to copy the data that had already been loaded, validated and consolidated.
To do this, I created a "Currency Version" (e.g. USD) and was then able to copy the data out of the local currency version (e.g. AUD) into the group currency version (USD). The value for the Currency version should always equal the actual group currency selected (either create a validation to achieve this OR populate it automatically in the background).
I would be interested to hear of other thoughts / ideas.

10g: unable to set default dashpoard (portalpath) for multiple groups

Hi All,
I am facing a problem while setting portal path for multiple groups.
I have two RPD groups and each group need to have it's own default dashboard as a lending page.
We are using RPD authentication and can't use database table to save portalpath for each user or group.
What have I tried so far is as follows:
We have two groups Group1 and Group2 which need to have default dashboard as *\shared\_portal\dashboard1* and *\shared\_portal\dashboard2* respectively.
Approach 1: Create a Session INIT block with the following query:
select case when 'Group1' = ':GROUP' then '\shared\_portal\dashboard1' else '\shared\_portal\dashboard2' end from dual
Result: Failed - As all the users are directed to '\shared\_portal\dashboard2'. Somehow *':Group'* isn't getting the GROUP assigned.
Even tried replacing ':GROUP' with 'VALUEOF(GROUP)' in SQL query, however it didn't help.
Any help with achieving the same functionality will be appreciated.
Regards,
Kansal

Kansal,
Here you go...make use of below example and change as per you need.
Create a SESSION - INIT BLOCK with this in query...Say PPIB
SELECT CASE WHEN 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.GROUP)' = 'DASH_usr' THEN '/shared/test' WHEN 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.GROUP)' = 'DASH_ctr' THEN '/shared/test1' END FROM DUAL
Assign a variable to it with name PORTALPATH and default to anything say '/abc/'
This will work for sure...You can test this in RPD as well.
Hope this helps

EC CS Consolidation - How can i set up Consolidation for Corporate Group

I have a task to set up consolidation for a Corporate group that has only the corporate office running on SAP and the other 18 subsidiaries are on other systems . Within the 18 subsidiaries there are 2 companies that are assoicates.The corporate group also does limited accounting transactions approx 4 invoices per month for 3 discontinued companies but not yet divested.
The 18 subsidiaries are also broken down into sub groups by type of operations e.g. Retail, Financial services, Investments, Property etc and these also groups need to be reported in a separate report over and above the Main Group Financial reports and the report must show each group (segment) on its own. -- Is there a Standard report that helps me achieve this kind of reportring
The 2 companies that are assoicates should they be created as a group if they are to be reported as a separate subgroup.
Should i create the 3 discontinued companies as company codes or business area .
If i am to create them as company codes what are the advantages and disadvantages.
If i am to create them as Business Areas how will i incorporate them into Consolidation if I am to use Company Conslidation dimension .
How best can i set up my consolidation structures ..
Please advise

Dear Stanley,
please create two different dimensions:
one for company consolidation with cons units = company codes
one for business area consolidation with cons units = business areas
Do not forget to mark the parent cons unit and create a top cons group.
Cheers,
David

How To Restrict Number Of Rows For Multiple Group In Report Output

Hi ,
I have a requirement to restrict number of rows in report output.I have three different group , if i use same no of rows to restrict then output is as expected but if i want Deduction group should have 7 rows , earning should have 5 rows and Tax group have 3 rows in report output then XML tag is not working.
Below is the XML tag i am using -
First i have declare the variable to restrict the rows -
<xsl:variable name="lpp" select="number(7)"/>
<xsl:variable name="lpp1" select="number(5)"/>
<xsl:variable name="lpp2" select="number(3)"/>
For Each -
<?for-each:PAYSLIP?>
<xsl:variable xdofo:ctx="incontext" name="DedLines" select=".//AC_DEDUCTIONS"/>
<xsl:variable xdofo:ctx="incontext" name="EarLines" select=".//AC_EARNINGS[ELEMENT_CLASSIFICATION!='Taxable Benefits']"/>
<xsl:variable xdofo:ctx="incontext" name="EarTaxLines" select=".//AC_EARNINGS[ELEMENT_CLASSIFICATION='Taxable Benefits']>
<?for-each:$DedLines?><?if:(position()-1) mod $lpp=0?> <xsl:variable name="start" xdofo:ctx="incontext" select="position()"/>
<?if:(position()-1) mod $lpp1=0?><xsl:variable name="start1" xdofo:ctx="incontext" select="position()"/
<?if:(position()-1) mod $lpp2=0?><xsl:variable name="start2" xdofo:ctx="incontext" select="position()"/>
Report output is tabular form (one page has two column - Earning and Deduction ) . Tax group comes below earning group.
Deduction Group -
<?for-each-group:$DedLines;./REPORTING_NAME?><?if:position()>=$start and position()<$start+$lpp?>
<?REPORTING_NAME?>
<?end if?><?end for-each-group?>
Earning Group -
<?for-each-group:$EarLines;./REPORTING_NAME?><?if:position()>=$start1 and position()<$start1+$lpp1?>
<?REPORTING_NAME?>
<?end if?><?end for-each-group?>
Tax Group -
<?for-each-group:$EarTaxLines;./REPORTING_NAME?><?if:position()>=$start2 and position()<$start2+$lpp2?>
<?REPORTING_NAME?>
<?end if?><?end for-each-group?>
Please let me know in case additional detail is require.
Thanks in Advance.
Thanks,
Harsh

variable lpp2 is declare to restrict EarTaxLines -
<xsl:variable name="lpp2" select="number(2)"/>
This will help to restrict the no of rows on one page , if we have more then two tax benefits line then layout will roll over to continuation page.
As part of report output my expectation is if i restrict Earning , Deduction and Tax benefits to same no of line for example - variable lpp ,lpp1 and lpp2 have same value "number(2)" , we can see the layout is continue on next page (restrict every group can have max two lines) .This is the reason we have 4 header grid , deduction and Tax Benefit lines are rolled over to continuation page .But if we restrict different value for each variable then continuation page layout is missing .
When we tried for <xsl:variable name="lpp2" select="number(3)"/> value continuation page layout is not getting generate for both employee number .

GRIR Maintenence and Clearing for non group currency PO

Hi Experts
I have an issue where I have a PO in say USD where group currency for company is Aus Dollar (AUD)
At Month end, for whatever reason there is a GR/IR balance and we maintain it with MR11 but MR11 balances the difference in group currency (AUD) where all other postings for the PO are in USD.
When we run F.13 or F13E the account never clears as it only clears transactions of same currency. We seem to never be able to clear these (without introducing a large tolerance in F.13 perhaps?)
Any ideas on a way forward?
thanks
AC

Try the finance forum ?
I'd expect all currency amounts to get converted to company currency and I've never known MR11 not to clear balances. Wild guess: have you got required exchange rates in place ?

How to get historical currency rate for second group currency transactions in Fixed Assets

Hello,
My client had MXN (Mexico Currency) as a legal currency and when the company code was implemented (went live) group currency was not implemented. After 3 years this company code implemented second local currency as USD and is now a USD functional Company. When Fixed assets movements such as depreciation, retirement etc are posted; the postings in local currency is fine but postings in group currency is not fine the reason is the exchange rate for group currency must be 'historical rate" but instead of that the entries are being posted in "current rate". To rectify this issue we need to set the exchange rate as the historical rate. Now my question is where/how can I get the historical rate (rate when asset was acquired/purchased). When the assets were acquired the amount was in MXN and there was no maintenance of USD exchange rate as there was no second local currency so then how can I get the historical exchange rate for USD. Most of the assets were acquired/purchased before 5-10 years then how can I find the USD exchange rate for those periods.
Thanks,
Rinki

It is necessary yo have a different rate type for average. The month-end rate type cannot be used.
The M-rate type is typically the month-end rate.

Portal Activity Reports for multiple groups

Hi,
Can the report display the count of users belonging to multiple groups or would it have to be created seperately for each group. I have tried to use wild cards and commas and nothing worked, the field does not accept more than one valid group name to be entered. Any ideas how to work around this without having to create a different report for different groups?
Thanks

Hi EAmin,
You can only show information about users who belong to a specific group and not multiple groups. But if you want to show users in multiple groups, you can create a new group (say temp) and add the other groups to temp. Now, configure the report to display users in group temp.

Group number for multiple groups

I have a report that has two groups. I would like to get the total number of groups in Group 2 under each group of Group 1. I know there is a Group Number field in the special fields but that will only give me the group number of Group 2 for the whole report. To clarify assuming Group 1=A and Group 2=B:
A-1
     B-1
     B-2
     B-3
A-2
     B-1
     B-2

HI,
If i understood exactly, You want to display Number of B groups in group A's Footer. Like
A-1
B-1
B-2
B-3
Total No Of B:3
A-2
B-1
B-2
Total No Of B:2
Right?!!
For this You need to write 3 formulas,
1, First Formula,
Shared numberVar Num:=0;
Drag and drop this formula field into GroupA header. And Suppress it
2,Second formula,
Shared numberVar Num:=Num+1;
Num
Drag and drop this formula field into GroupB header. And Suppress it
3,Third one,
shared numberVar Num;
Num;
Drag and drop this formula field into GroupA Footer With Appropriate Label(Like "Total No Of B:"). This will give you the count of B's in GroupA footer.
Regards,
Salah.

Single Transfer Order for Multiple Handling Units

I have been researchig the ability to create a single transfer order for multiple handling units. My assumptions are if it can be done that:
1) A transfer order can have a single source, so if the source document for the handling unit (delivery) is different, that means different transfer order
2) A TO can have multiple materials (line items) with different destination bins and quantities per bin
I looked at the configuration for TO Split, but it's not clear that this will handle my requirement.
I also saw this http://aq33.com/material-management/Articles-005798.html and it also says that my requirement can't be meant. I'm just checking before I tell my customer this cannot be done.

Yes you are right, if Source document is different, you need to go with different TO.
But you can choose the Handling unit split, while creating a TO itself. i.e., You can quantify the goods for each handling unit.

Consolidation of multiple trees not working when scheduled thru taskflow

Hi ,
We are having a problem when we schedule consolidations for multiple entities using taskflow. Task audit is showing the successful completion of all the entities but when we open up a dataform it is showing ok only for the last entity in the list and CN for the rest of the entities. I don't know whether I am missing something in the taskflow or dataform setup or if it is a known bug. We are on 9.3.1 HFM version. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Santosh

Which consolidation option are you using? You should use "Consolidate" only in all cases, so you only do an incremental consolidation. If instead you use "consolidate all with data" on each hierarchy, you would impact the other hierarchies and be in a circular reference of sorts since "consolidate all with data" forces the parents to become changed. Of course avoid using "consolidate all".

During consolidation cpu goes 100%

Hi,
During consolidation CPU is going 100%.
can you suggest me some performance tuning tips to improve the performance.
HFM 9.3.1.2 Build.

If you are concerned about the processor utilization AND you cannot simply upgrade your hardware AND consolidation time is not an issue for you, then the following registry changes may be for you :
Key Tree,     Key Name,     Key Type,     Min Value,     Max Value,     Default Value,     Unit of Measure,     Description
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Hyperion Solutions\Hyperion Financial Management\Server\Running Tasks,     MaxNumConcurrentConsolidations,     REG_SZ,     1,     8,          Consolidations,     Controls the nubmer of concurrent consolidations allowed per application server. Any consolidations executed above the value are queued as Scheduled Consolidations.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Hyperion Solutions\Hyperion Financial Management\Server\Running Tasks,     NumConsolidationThreads,     REG_SZ,     1,     8,          Threads,     Controsl the multi-threading of consolidatiosn per application server. Lowering the value limits the system's utilization of system resources, resulting in slower consolidation performance.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Hyperion Solutions\Hyperion Financial Management\Server\Running Tasks,     NumConsolidationsAllowed,     REG_SZ,     1,     20,     8,     Consolidations,     Controls the number of conslidations allower per application across all the application servers.

Can I run the currency translation for multiple years at the same time?

Dear Friends,
I set up currency translation on our BPC NW 7.0 system and it is working fine ONLY if I run it for any one year at a time. But if I select multiple years in the data package (FX Restatment) selection it only calculates for the first year in that selection.
say if I run the data package for years: 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, it only performs currency translation for the year 2009.
Can I run the currency translation for multiple years at the same time ?
Note: The year is determined from the YEAR property of the "Time" dimension
appreciate any inputs,
thanks

You can run currency translation for multiple years.
I think the problem it is actually related to how you are sending the parameter to currency translation script.
Just review the script logic log and you will see with what parameters was called currency translation FXTrans.
My expectation is that actually the script is called just with first year and that's the problem.
Log of script logic you can find it into:
C:\BPC|DATA\Webfolder\YourAppset\YourApplication\Private Publications\Users used to run logic\Temp

Rules File Not Running in EPMA During Consolidation

Greetings -
I am doing a migration from 11.1.1.2 to our Production environment in 11.1.1.3. We are using EPMA, though I wrote and maintain the rules files in the old editor and import them to the calc manager. I have exported and imported the metadata, recreated the applications, imported the rules file, and recreated security. Everything between the two systems seem to match. The rules file imported without issue and can be extracted from the application, I know it is deploying. When I run a consolidation, the rules file seems to be getting skipped somehow. System translation and consolidation (no special rules for those) run fine, but the consolidation immediately starts at 40% and none of my dynamic or calculated accounts are ever populated. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sarah

In Calc Manager, check in the menu bar, look for Deployment View.
Make sure the Sub Calculate is checked and then re-deploy.
