About currency translation

Hello Gurus,
when source key figure currency is fixed, and target key figure currency is variable, there is no currency translation in the transformation rule. so how can I do currency translation?
when source key figure currency is variable, and target key figure currency is variable, approach for currency translation is CT or  assignment possible . what does  "assignment possible" mean?
Many thanks,
Frank

In both the cases you can do currency translation at reporting level...
Use the transaction RSCUR to create a currency translation type which can be used at reporting level..
In the transaction RSCUR you can mention if your target currency is fixed or variable

    Hi,
    the following link from help will explain all about currency translation:

    Usually are saying that currency translation is done in BEx and update rules. But there is also a possibility to do it in TRs:

  • Currency translation differences with an effect on earnings

    Product Version: SAP R/3 46.C
    Componente: EC-CS-CSF-E Currency Translation
    In currency translation program of ECCS (tx CX40) the prior year portion of translation differences that affects earnings is posted in current period in the earnings retain item (ER) which according to SAP documentation "Currency translation differences with subsequent consolidations" is correct, however when we run the currency translation on subsequents periods this amount is posted again generating a multiplying of differences on each period.
    In accordance with section u201CBu201D of SAP note 553586, the carryforward item (retain earnings) was assigned to translation key 5, to avoid multiplications of this difference in every execution of currency translation for current period. This correction was applied successfully, however the problem is now generated when we run the currency translation in every subsequent period.
    SAP notes 582815 and 553586 was applied succesfully.
    We also verified SAP note 1045402 changing the translation key 5 to 1, for balance carryforward item (retained earnings) this avoids the difference effect on subsequents periods, but  generates a translation differential effect undesired on this item, since this is a historical item that not must be altered by currency translation.
    Additionally we read SAP note 509509 and we think that this issue corresponds whit symptom 2 of that note.
    Step by Step:
    Transaction: CX40
    Setting of Translation SET in translation method:
    1.- MARS-GAP-Monetary:
    1.1.- Items of balance sheet
    1.2.- Translation Key 1

    5.2.- Translation Key 6
    5.3.-  Item for differences: Balance sheet item without an effect on earnings
    6.- ANI-BS-FX
    6.1.- Items of differences SET MARS-HIST and Carryforward Item for special items in transaction CXD3, the same item for the balance carryforward (retained earnings)
    6.2.- Translation Key 5
    6.3.-  Item for differences: Balance sheet item without an effect on earnings (the same item for the SET MARS-HIST)
    7.- ANI-BS
    7.1.- The special balance sheet item in Transaction CXD3
    7.2.- Translation Key 5
    7.3.-  Item for differences, the same item
    8.- ANI-IS
    8.1.- The special income statement item in Transaction CXD3
    8.2.- Translation Key 5
    8.3.-  Item for differences, The same item
    Note:
    1 .- According to the point A of the note  553586 was included the FS Item 484051011(difference item for SET MARS-HIST)  in the conversion SET ANI-BS-FX
    2 .- According to Section B of the note 553586 was included the account for carried forward  481000001 the special accounts set up in the transaction CXD3 in the conversion SET ANI-BS-FX
    3 .- According to Section C of  note 553586 are included special accounts set up in the transaction CXD3 390000 and 251200, in the conversion SET ANI-IS and ANI-BS respectively.
    When run the currency translation in the new year 1-2011, the prior year portion of translation differences that affects earnings is posted in current period a credit to earnings retain and debit to account difference in SET for this account. This amount is same on special balance sheet item 251200, in tx CXD3, also found on the statistical FS item.
    Then in subsequent periods, 2 - 2011 it posting another credit to earnings retain and debit to account difference in SET for this account, generating a multiplying of differences on each period, even though the difference for this account (ER) in the log of the translation currency is equal to the difference posted to the previous period, show this in transaction CX34 for items of translation (1) for this account until 1-2011.

    Hi,
    just a information how I did a workaround about this:
    The opening (movement type 100) of the balance sheet item "differences of currency translation" is customized with "don't change...".
    Every increase  to "differences  of currency translation" works with e.g. movement type 120 and will be carried forward to 100.
    Maybe this is a scenario you can use...

    3) Run Carry forward to 2011.DEC with LC and USD
    4) Loaded LC YTD Trial Balance for 2011.NOV
    5) Run Validation report with local currency (my balance sheet looks good for openingbalance, current period activities and closing balance)
    6) Run Validation report in USD for Opening balance, Still it balances for opening balance as its carry forwarded from previous period.
    7) Run Fx translation package for DEC.2011
    8) after FX translation my balance sheet is out of balance.
    Error:
    My Balancesheet is out of balance after running Currency translations when we have opening balances. it is out of balance with the amount for the same for the opening balance. I mean before running currency translation for opening balance total for balancesheet items is zero but after running currency translations the opening balance is out of balance and CLosing balance sheet is also out with same dollar number.
    I am assuming the force close option is not working correctly. When we are on SP05 I remember it was working without any issue.
    I appreciate if any comments on this issue.
    Thanks,
    Sri

    Hi. On #1, try force translating these entities on their own. If that works, then I would call support about the all entities process not working. On #2, most people don't bother clearing the data after translating - just update it as needed. If you really want to clear it, you'll need an if/then in your calculate subroutine that runs the clear when at the reporting currency.

  • Foreign Currency Translation at Year End - How SAP Works for P&L items?

    Hi All,
    I wanted to know "How SAP works on Foreign Currency Translation at year end" from Local Currency to Group Currency for P&L Items.
    I know how SAP works for Balance sheet items but am really confused with when the translation was done for P&L Items.
    Configuration:
    We are on ECC 6.0 . Local Currency is CAD and we have 2nd Local Currency as "USD - Group Curr".
    We have set up Valuation Method - 4
    We have set up Valuation Area - 40
    For Account Determination for Currency Translation, GL accounts (Loss, Gain and B/S Adj)  were setup for the combination of Chart of Accounts, Val Area and Fin Stmt Ver.
    Sales Account Balance
    CAD (LC)        USD (2nd LC)       
    1000                   920                        
    Using tcode "FAGL_FC_TRANS", we translated our P&L items.
    Local Currency is CAD and Group Currency is USD.
    CAD 1000 and USD 920 are cumulative balances over a period of time.
    Since at the end of year CAD became stronger, exchange rate is 1.11 as an example
    Sales Account Balance
    CAD (LC)        USD (2nd LC)        Translated Value in USD
    1000                   920                        900
    System passed the following entry in USD:
    Debit Balance Sheet Adj A/c 20
    Credit Translation Gain / Loss A/c 20
    Here are the questions:
    1. How does over all translation work? - Should we get any Gain / Loss and have an effect on P&L when all accounts (P&L, B/S) are translated?
    2. How can there be a gain entry when USD value has really fallen from 920 to 900 in the current case.
    Thanks for your time.
    Vijay

    Hi,
    I had this issue too.  The entry was just opposite to what it should be.  I just flipped the accounts in table FAGL_T030TR.
    Example: 410000 is sales account which normally should have a credit balance.  Here are some entries that were posted to sales in 03/2009 and I am running FAGL_FC_TRANS at the end of the month.
    March 1, 2009 Cr. Sales CAD 1000- USD 900-
    March 2, 2009 Cr. Sales CAD  500- USD 480-
    During FC translation transaction, system takes the balance in the account for the period (if you execute it with 'Val. period balance only' checkbox checked) and not the cumulative balance.  SAP recommends translating period balance only (and not cumulative balance) for P&L accounts.  It sees a balance in LC (this again depends on the config. you have in OB22 - whether the indicator is 1 (TC as source currency) or 2 (LC as source currency for translation)) which is 1500, converts that at month end rate.  After conversion, lets say the balance is 1400-.
    In this case, we expect a credit entry on sales account
    March 31, 2009 Cr. Sales CAD 0  USD 20-
    But system was just posting the opposite.  I then flipped the accounts in FC translation configuration.  I know it is misleading.  In that configuration, system says balance sheet adjustment account, but what you should actually give there is your gain/loss account.  Our gain/loss a/c. falls in the same GL account range as the main account.  For example, for 410000, it is 410999 and for 510000, it is 510999.  We report accounts 410000 to 410999 in the same node in the FSV.
    Pl. feel free to ask further questions about this.  Pl. test in your system and correct me if my above reply is wrong.
    Cheers!

  • BPS Currency Translation with rate from previous year

    Dear All,
    I am trying to use the BPS currency translation function. However, I would like to use an exchange rate from the previous fiscal year, in order to reveal currency effects.
    I would appreciate any help, hopefully regarding ways to mend the standard function. I am afraid a workaround with the FM CONVERT_TO_LOCAL_CURRENCY would end up in a giant crutch.
    Thank you in advance,
    Lars Biederstedt

    Thank you for your answer, Marc.
    I would definitely like to know more about option 1.
    Option 2, a fixed data, would not work, because data had to be translated monthly, with the exchange rate from exactly one year ago. I was really surprised, that you could not enter a variable as a time reference and use offsets, like you can in queries.
    I ended up using an Exit-Function with the function module convert_to_foreign_currency. Unfortunately you cannot change characteristic values with Exit-Function, so I have to repost after every currency translation.
    Anyway, it works.
    Best regards,

  • Currency Translation question

    When the currency translation is executed..it overwrite the reporting currency by new amount.
    Q1>>How to find out additive impact by each each account for currency translation changes.?
    For example I have 1000 accounts, which for which currency translation is executed. Can I know the currency translation changes per each account seperately for reporting purpose?
    Client wants to do the complete audit trail of amount posted by currency translation. is it possible..
    How it is possible. Is it possible thru movement type to track the currency translation by each account?
    Q2>>DATASRC dimension has a property IS_CONSOLIDATED? has some one used it before? What it is used for?
    Please explain a bit..because the documentation from SAP is very brief..
    Apprecaite inputs...

    Hi Doodwala,
    I'm not sure I'm following your question 1. Do you mean that you want to track the difference between the new and old reporting currency amount when the LC amount changes? Or do you want to track the change in the translated amount if the rate changes (or more likely using a different rate)?
    If your audit requirement is to track every record change then it is going to be very arduous to do this in a custom way. I'd recommend looking into the delivered audit trail functionality to see if that meets your requriements. There is a bit of information about this functionality here: [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bpc70sp02/helpdata/en/e1/8999faf82c4a61acd65683a8cedafe/frameset.htm]

  • Currency Translation in InfoCube

    Hello,
    I have my Master Data InfoObject which contains the currency (USD, EUR, INR) and the currency values are stored in a DSO. The InfoObject as well as the DSO have a field (CARR_ID) which is common to both.
    I wish to unite the Master Data InfoObject as well as the DSO in an InfoCube and perform Curency Translations so that I see the source currencies as well as a fixed target currency and their respective values in the BeX Report. This I wish to implement with ABAP code in the Transformation Routine.
    Do I need to use an InfoSource or is there any other method to do this.
    Please advise. POINTS WILL DULY BE AWARDED!!!

    Trnsactions for Doing Currency conversion
    If you are using SAP Netweaver 2004s and BI 7.0, use Tcode RSCUR
    RRC1 Create Currency Conversion Type
    RRC2 Edit Currency Conversion Type
    RRC3 Display Currency Translation Type
    Transaction for maintaining currency translation is OBBS and for exchange rates OB08
    Step by step procedure (sample with example)
    1. try to go to RSCUR:
    2. create or modify your currency translation type
    3. exchange rate type could be "M" (standard) and choose dynamic exchange rate determination
    4. in Currency Tab set: source currency from record, target is USD
    5. and now TIME Tab: use Variable Time reference: "END of MONTH" with standard InfoObject "0CALMONTH" or "END of PERIOD" with Standard InfoObject "0FISCPER"
    Attention: the InfoObject 0CALMONTH or 0FISCPER has to be in your Cube. Otherwise choose special InfoObject "ZYOUROBJECT" which has the date (like 20.03.2008)
    its better to choose "Beginning of Period", because your table in OB08 has to be filled with values starting 01.MM.YYYY
    (like 01.03.2008) is exchange rate = 28
    01.04.2008 is exchange rate = 29 etc. not to think about how many days are in Februar, March, April etc.

    What is the meaning of formula like...END u2013 AVG in business rule? Where it is used?
    I have enough documents, links..appreciate your replies...

    Hi Manilyer,
                        I dont know about AS-IS-1???but when it comes to END-AVG...there will some accounts in any consolidation like RESERVES,SHARECAPITAL which will be calculated at END and AVG rate means....
    Lets take..Company "A" bought a 70% share in the Company "B" at a ratei.e AVG rate but when we are doing consolidation of accounts at Year end i.e "END" rate..then there will be diffrence in their consolidation..this called "FCTR" calculation...this is what END-AVG..and it will happen only few account's..

  • Currency Translation from local to group currency in AP /AR

    Hi Gurus,
             I have reporting requiremtents where in i need to show KF;s in local and group currency. I am using standard extractor AP_4 and AR_4. These extractors does not bring KF's in Group currency but only in local and document currency.
    Can anyone tell me what is the best way to go about carrying out the currency translation from local to glocal currency for AP and AR.
    Thanks in advance and yeah points guranteed for helpful answers...
    Cheers..

    I take it you mean the extra currency in the company code config (ie group reporting)
    Just unhide the fields DMBE2 and HWAE2 from the extract structure and allocate a new infoobject to them - then add to eith your transformation or transfer rules/update rules and add to the cube

  • Currency Translation and Account Transformation Business Rules Together?

    Hi I am fresh out of college and working on a BPC project. I have this working but fear down the road problems.
    We are using currency translation and struggling with getting our NetIncome to write the correct value to the Current Year Retained Earnings when it converts from LC to USD; USD value did not match Net Income in P&L.
    Initially, we did the Account Transformation first in our default logic only on LC, then FX runs and creates the corresponding USD value which does not match the Net Income.
    It looks like the logic is correctly summing the YTD value but it converts using the AVG rate for the period (as opposed to multiplying each month by that monthu2019s average rate) creating a variance.
    Weu2019ve moved the account transformation to run after FX and have it also running on USD. This currently works but seems like a workaround, and as we configure the remaining CTA rules will we run into problems?
    Have any experts run into this issue before and what should I do?
    Edited by: MichaelUCF2010 on Oct 12, 2010 10:18 PM

    Hi, perhaps this is my lack of accounting knowledge rearing itself.
    RE = BS = End (if you take into account translation adjustment for Net Income and Additions/Substractions & OB)
    However If you are talking about the RE Reserve (and computing that correctly)
    RE Reserve
    OB - Opening
    Inc - Avg
    Sub - Avg
    NI - Avg [I assume it is this line you are talking about - please try the apply periodic option for avg]
    CTA - calculated
    CB - End

  • Currency translation, valuation  and coversion

    Hi Experts,
    Please let me know what is the diffrence between valuation, translation and conversion of currencies and how can it be done?
    regards
    kumar

    Dear Kumar,
    In IMG under
    SAP Netweaver -> General Settings -> Currencies
    -> Check Exchange Rate Types
    Exchange rates for different purposes for the same date are defined in the system as exchange rate types.
    If you need to carry out currency translations between a number of different currencies, you can simplify exchange rate maintenance by entering a base currency for the exchange rate type. Instead of entering translation rates between every single currency, you then only need specify the translation rate between each currency and the base currency. All currency translations then take place in two steps - into the base currency and from the base currency into the target currency.
    The base currency is DEM. You want to translate FRF to CHF. To do this, the following entries must be made in the table for maintaining currency translation rates:
    o Ratio for FRF -> DEM
    o Ratio for CHF -> DEM
    Translation from FRF to CHF is then carried out automatically. The translation is done as though this exchange rate (FRF -> CHF) was actually entered in the conversion table.
    In this example, the base currency (DEM) is the To-currency and FRF or CHF the From-currency.
    For exchange rate relations within the EU, it is a legal requirement that the base currency (EUR) is the From-currency. You set the indicator for this in the BCurr=from field.
    SAP Netweaver -> General Settings -> Currencies
    -> Enter Exchange RatesExchange rates are required to:
    Translate foreign currency amounts when posting or clearing or to check an exchange rate entered manually
    Determine the gain and loss from exchange rate differences
    Evaluate open items in foreign currency and the foreign currency balance sheet accounts
    The exchange rates are defined by period ("valid from").
    The  function has been improved. Choose the activity Define Exchange Rate Input Worklist or Assign Exchange Rate to Worklist.
    The system uses the type M exchange rates for foreign currency translation when posting and clearing documents in the activity Enter Exchange Rate. An entry must exist in the system for this exchange rate type. The exchange rates apply to all company codes.
    The exchange rate relations for currency conversion are only displayed here. Read the chapter Define Translation Ratios for information about exchange rate relations maintenance.
    You define:
    the rate types under which you want to store your exchange rates in the step
    "Check Exchange Rate Type"
    the required currency keys in the step "Check Currency Codes"
    the conversion factors for
    -   the currency pair
    -   the exchange rate type
    -   the date
    in the step "Define the Conversion Factors for Currency Conversion"
    Currency Valuation: - To create your financial statements, you have to perform a foreign currency valuation. This valuation covers the following accounts and items:
    ·        Foreign currency balance sheet accounts, that is, the G/L accounts that you run in foreign currency.
    The balances of the G/L accounts that are not managed on an open item basis are valuated in foreign currency.
    ·        Open items that were posted in foreign currency.
    Open items that are open on the key date are valuated in foreign currency.
    You have the following options for the foreign currency valuation:
    ·        You can perform the valuation in local currency, (company code currency), or a parallel currency (for example, group currency).
    ·        You can also use different valuation methods (for example, lowest value principle).
    ·        If you want to translate additional currencies from the local currency, foreign currency valuation automatically performs a currency translation.

  • Currency Translation on Key Date for AR Aging

    Need your valuable advice!
    I have created an AR Aging query including both Open and Cleared Items based on 0FIAR_C03_Q0005 standard query. However the requirement is to do currency translation to Group Currency (USD) on Key Date. This Key date is defaulted to today but the user can change this to go back in time and pull all the ARs as of that back dated key date.
    I was planning to create a currency translation type on M rate based on the Key Date Variable in RSCUR. However I am confused on which variable to base this currency translation. I have several key date variables in my query such as 0P_KEYD2 (based on Posting Date), 0P_KEYDT (based on Net Due Date) and 0P_KEYD3 (based on Clearing Date).
    Which Key Date Variable should I use in 'Time Reference from Variable' field in RSCUR? Would it be one of the 3 mentioned above or something else and why?
    Appreciate your valuable advice.
    Thanks,
    Al

    Hi,
    Yes I do want to use the Key date from the variable screen and I am using the standard 0FIAR_C03_Q005 with slight modification including currency translation.
    As I mentioned in my original post I have several key date variables in this query such as 0P_KEYD2 (based on Posting Date), 0P_KEYDT (based on Net Due Date) and 0P_KEYD3 (based on Clearing Date). My question is which one should I use if I want to base it on the specific key date variable from the variable screen? I need the specific Key Date variable technical name.
    Thanks,

  • Use of BAdi UC_CTR_XRPROC in Currency Translation

    Hi All,
    Has anyone experience of the BAdi for determining Exchange Rate in BCS?
    In BCS you have the option of customising the Procedure for Exchange Rate Determination by using a Badi, my current client has configured a custom one but I can't view the configuration (due to authorisation frustrations), so I can see that something has been selected but can't see what it is.
    Selected Info from SAP BCS help:
    You can create additional procedures for exchange rate determination in the customer namespace. The custom procedures, along with the standard procedures, are offered for selection in Customizing of currency translation methods.
    If you specify a parameter when creating a procedure for exchange rate determination, this parameter is also offered for selection when the procedure is listed.
    At the time of execution, whenever a custom procedure for exchange rate determination is encountered, the system calls the Business Add-In for exchange rate determination ( UC_CTR_XRPROC). There you can freely determine the exchange rate for each data record being translated.
    Also:
    The E/R determination procedure is the second-last step for determining the value in target currency. (The last step is the currency translation procedure, for which there is also another Business Add-In, UC_CTR_CTPROC.) At this point, the data records to be translated are accessible, and the date of exchange rate determination is known.
    All help will be much appreciated

    Thanks Eugene,
    it appears to have been implemented at one of my current clients but I can't work out what it's doing.
    An old, incomplete configuration document indicates that they were trying to stop the GC figure being updated unless Currency Translation Indicator <> 0 (ie RFD record is not updated by Currency Translation task, GC values are only posted to new records with CT Indicator >0)

  • Currency Translation

    Hi,
    We have different needs for the currency translation depending on the financial statement items an movement type.
    So, we have defined 2 methods (and 2 tasks) all different.
    They are different also in the exchange rate type for the reference translation.
    That is, for example:
    First method (task):
    Exchange rate type for the reference translation (1003 - Historical exchange rate)
    Step:
       Investment items
        and type of movement (100 u2013 beginning balance)
    Specific translation:
    u2022     Currency translation key: periodic
    u2022     Exchange rate type: EURX (EMU regulation, variable exchange rates)
    Item (Translation Difference):
    Item (58200)
        Subitem (58201)
    Second method (task)
    Exchange rate type for the reference translation (1002 - Average exchange rate)
    Step:
        Income statement items
    Specific translation:
    u2022     Currency translation key: periodic
    u2022     Exchange rate type: EURX (EMU regulation, variable exchange rates)
    Item (Translation Difference):
        Item (58200)
        Subitem (58202)
    PROBLEM:
    When we run the methods at consolidation monitor, the second task affects the result of the first task.
    The result from the first task is correct.
    When we run the second task, which is for income statement items (not this as the first one u2013 investments), System is creating a new step (a cumulative one), which is changing the Exchange rate type for the reference translation of this item; meaning is changing the previous correct values.
    Why is this happening?

    Thanks for your answer.
    So, what you're saying is that I cannot have several Exchange rate type for the reference translation according to financial statement items/movement types?
    I always have to have the same Exchange rate type for the reference translation for all the items/movement types?
    Thanks for your help.
    Best regards.
