Adventure Works - Financial Reporting - Amount - Currency Conversion

Hi all,
I was looking into currency conversion in the Adventure Works cube (SQL2008R2).
For each measure that need to be converted, a measure expression is used (e.g.: [Internet Sales Amount] / [Average Rate]), except for Amout in the measure group Financial Reporting.
When creating a pivot table with that measure and changing the destination currency, the Amount is converted to the selected currency.
How is it done ? (because there is no measure expression for that one)
(I had a look at the MDX script of that cube, but could not find anything about that)
Thanks for your answers.
Kind Regards,
Guillaume

Hi Guillaume,
According to your description, you are looking for currency conversion in the Adventure Works cube. In Analysis Services, we can use the Business Intelligence Wizard to define currency conversion functionality for a cube, or you can manually define currency
conversions using MDX scripts. For the detail information about it, please see:
Currency Conversions (Analysis Services - Multidimensional Data)

*Currency Conversion created in BW BEX query not working in BO report:*

Hi,
We have created a key figure with currency conversion and working fine in BEX when I execute that query.
But when created a BO universe and WEBI report on that query, I am getting following error.
"MDX query failed to execute with Error".
Can anyone please help.
Thanks

Hi
Thanks. But new problem.
When I pulled OCURRENCY to free area now it is working in BO also.
But now another problem is --> for Currency translation am getting prompt in BO also to select target currency. There , all values (all currency types) are not displayed , only USD is coming. WEBI report is fine for USD conversion.
But when I want to convert into AUD , its not there in LOVs .
Some time back this problem exists in Bex also, but when we changed cube level setting as below:
Infocube : display-> OCURRENCY right click and go to "provider specific properties"..and then
go to "object specific properties " and then for "Query Exec Filter Val" selected "M Values in Master data table".
Now when executing query in Bex for target currency selection values it is taking from master data and displaying all types like USD, AUD, INR ..etc. in drop down list.
Now created new BO universe and new WEBI report but only USD is coming in selection LOVs not all types.
Please help us.
Thanks
Dhana.

Currency conversion not working for foreign entity

I am having an issue with currency conversion not generating the correct values for foreign entities. For entities where the currency is USD, I am able to see the LC amount being written to USD. However, for entites that have currencies other than USD, I just see zeros. I have double-checked to make sure that rates exist for the given currencies. Below is the logic script I am using which is a modificatio nof the multicurrency.lgl. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
// filter the appropriate currencies and rates
*SELECT(%REPORTING_CURRENCIES%, "[ID]", "RptCurrency", "[REPORTING] = 'Y'")
*SELECT(%FX_RATES%,"[ID]","RATE","[GROUP]='FX RATE'")
// set the appropriate region to clear
//(all reporting currencies)
*CLEAR_DESTINATION
*DESTINATION RPTCURRENCY=%REPORTING_CURRENCIES%
// load the rates from the RATE cube
*LOOKUP RATE
*DIM RATESRC="RATECALC"
*DIM Rate=ARFIELD.RATETYPE
*DIM SOURCECURR: INPUTCURRENCY=LOC_MILLOTH.CURRENCY
*FOR %CURR%=%REPORTING_CURRENCIES%
*DIM %CURR%:INPUTCURRENCY="%CURR%"
*NEXT
*ENDLOOKUP
// define the translation rule
*WHEN ARFIELD.RATETYPE
*IS "NOTRANS"
// translate
*IS %FX_RATES%
       *FOR %CURR%=%REPORTING_CURRENCIES%
           *REC(FACTOR=LOOKUP(SOURCECURR)/LOOKUP(%CURR%),RptCurrency="%CURR%")
       *NEXT
*ELSE
       *FOR %CURR%=%REPORTING_CURRENCIES%
           *REC(RptCurrency="%CURR%")
       *NEXT
*ENDWHEN
*FOR %CURR%=%REPORTING_CURRENCIES%
         [RptCurrency].[#%CURR%]=null
*NEXT
*COMMIT

Hi Karen,
I'm no script logic expert so I won't comment on your code. If it's working for USD then the code is probably fine.
There are a few other things you could check (these are based on investigation using the standard multicurrency script). They should line up with the standard Finance application from AppSet
In the InputCurrency dimension for the currencies you want to convert into :
   Check property Reporting is equal to "Y"
   Check property Group is set to "Report"
   Check propoerty MD has a value of "M" or "D"
In the RptCurrency dimension you need to have entries for the the currencies you want to convert into (AppSet only has USD and EUR to start). Also for each of the currencies :
   Check property Reporting is equal to "Y"
   Check property Group is equal to "Report"
   Check property Transfer is equal to "Y"
I'm not convinced that the Transfer value is required but from my testing if you get the above set up and use the standard multicurrency script it will work.
The testing I did was translating into USD, EUR, GBP, CHF, AUD etc
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
Bradley Newcombe.

Currency conversion display in the report

Hi,
I've a report which displays Vendor Name, sold to party, Sold-To-Party No, Bstnk, Buyer No,Distribution Channel, Division, LI/PO Number, Sales Order,Order Description,audat,vdatu,vbeln,aemenge,aewavwr, kwert, aenetwr, stwae, etc fields in output for a given range of dates. mostly these fields r taken frm S902 n VBAK.
At the bottom of this report i need to keep a currency conversion display as for sy-datum.
Ex: FROM --> TO     EXCHANGE RATE/CONVERSION FACTOR        DATE
      CAD --> USD      0.95776                     1:1                                 20.02.2009
      EUR --> USD      1.44484                     1:1                                 20.02.2009
      JPY --> USD      95.88647                10,000:1                            20.02.2009.
for this purpose earlier they used function-pool RSAQEXCE in other program.
i exactly dont know wther this one is std program r query. in this they used func mod "convert_to_local_currency" also.
please let me know how sh i pass my output internal table to get desired output like this.
Please respond qk.

Hi Raja,
Please note reply from Hari.
Note: Most of the currency conversion FMS won't work if u try to run in SE37
But the same FMs works when u execute from program. Please try to use these FMs for conversion.
U just have to pass source amount, source and target currencies and date.
Thanks,
Vinod.

Currency conversion type by customer exit variable doesn't work

Hi all.
In my query I need amounts by quarter, applying quarters last date rates as currency conversion.
Query has Year parameter. Based on this parameter, by customer exits I calculate every quarters last date and use them as currency conversion types.
The problem is that query DOESN'T APPLY currency conversions!
I checked TCURR table - currency conversions do exist for applied days
I checked my customer exits - the date calculation works fine
I suppose where is something wrong in query processes (customer exits/currency conversions) sequence before running it.
Someone knows anything 'bout that?

Check these docs.. and check again.

Currency Conversion issue in BW reporting

Hello Experts - I have a Revenue KF in COPA cube. For one specific record the currency type is TWD. When I run the report using the Key Figure (along with other Chars), the value is multiplied by 100. I do not have any scaling factor set at the report level or currency conversion set for the Key Figures. It works fine for other records with other currency types. Does it has any thing to do with the TCURF / TCURV tables? Appreciate your help.
Rgds,
Venu.

Hi Venu,
For different currency types there are scaling factors set by default. When you will run the report, the displayed result is calculated with the scaling factor.

Currency Conversion in WebI Report

Hi All:
Need your help in currency conversions using WebI Report.
Current Scenario:
    Currency conversions are currently achieved at BEx Query Designer level where target currency is determined through a Selection Variable.
Proposed Solution:
   As per the Business proposal, BW will be publishing the data to Terradata; a universe will be built on Terradata and a WebI report will be based on this universe.
Question:
   How can this type of currency translation be achieved in WebI Based Report?

Currency Conversion for historical Amount

Hello Experts,
Can some one help me to find a solution for my reporting requirement.
As part of GL reporting, I have a report which shows accumulated balance for given fiscal year/period. If the currency is in USD,I have no issues. When the currency is in non USD(Ex: EUR) I need to convert it into USD at BW side.
Here is the example:
User Enters: Fiscal Year/Period : 2007003
Accumulated Balance for particular GL account might be 300 EUR.
But actual posting might be happened in 2006012.
While converting it to USD it should take the 2006012 exchage rate from TCURR and convert it.
I have created a RRC1 object and used it in Query but it is using 2007003 exchange rate.
Please help me to solve this problem.
Thanks,
Bobby

Hi,
make your currency conversion type time dependent that is the the exchange rates should be picked based on the date when the G/L account was posted.
Go to transaction RRC1 chose your exchange rate type and in the time ref. tab give key date as the posting date it will pick the exchange rate as the date when the doc was posted.
Hope it clears
Thanks

PDF preview in workspace not working for Financial Reporting

I have an issue in workspace with doinga PDF preview on a Financial Reporting report. PDF preview works fine via workspace but only FR has the problem, here is the error that is displayed. I am running FR server on AIX and the print servers are on windows platform. We have two installations pointing to same windows box for print server. The 1st if FR for HFM running all on windows, the 2nd is FR on AIX for an Essbase installation. The HFM FR install works great via workspace but the the 2nd produces the following error:
Error 500--Internal Server Error
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.5.1 500 Internal Server Error
The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request.
We made the port for the print server static(it is normally dynamic) so we could open the firewall port to the print server and have verifed it is open.
Does anyone have a suggestion of what could be producing the Internal Server Error. I should mention that we use Weblogic for the web deployment of workspace if that should have any bearing on the issue.

Firewall issues were preventing this problem.

Currency Conversion not working

Hi All,
Currency conversion is failing with error message as below.
SAP DBTech JDBC: [2048]: column store error: search table error: [2620] executor: plan operation failed;currency/unit conversion error,Conversion( "AMOUNT" ), row 0: could not determine valid conversion rate for value(s) 3750 from unit 'USD' to unit 'INR' on date 2013-11-15 00:00:00.0000000
For currency conversion, I've done
Assign Client for currency conversion.
Assign Schema which holds all TCUR* tables and set the same as default schema for the model in Semantics section.
In TCURR table, I've below set of records for USD to INR conversion, exchange type used in Currency Conversion is 'M'.
I tried different exchange rates and converting to different currencies. Target currency is fed by Input Parameter which is defined of Semantic Type - Currency.
Even conversion fails for fixed target currency.
Am I missing something? Please provide your inputs.
Regards,
Chandra.

Hi Chandra,
Can you share the screen of your calculated measure showing the currency conversion.
Can you check with date 30.11.2011 and see if the conversion is taking place? Assuming that client and schema details are fine.

Krishna Tangudu

Financial Reporting Studio work space.

I am currently developing a financial report that will have 26 grids on it, but there is only one page size in the Work Area. Can some one let me know how to make it two pages/increase it?
Thanks for the help.

Alexander,
Thanks for your answer.
I have already rebooted the entire server and even re-installed the FR Studio without any success, so there should be another problem.
Any other suggestions?

Currency Conversion types not visible for KF in BEx report

Hi Gurus,
I'm facing a strange issue with the curr conversion types.
I had created a KF with 0currency for my requirement. when i'm trying to create a report on the top of the MP i'm facing this issue.
When i right click on the KF --> selected "properties" at the bottom - we have "curr conversion types" -- here i can't see all the curr conversion types for my KF.
Where as i checked for other KF i can see the missing currency conversion types.
Did any one faced such issue...? please throw some light on this issue.

Goto RSA1 ,
double click on you KF info Object ,
there you can see the unit 0currency is been selected , Only those key figure which has been assigned 0currency can only be converted in Bex query.

The currency conversion is showing correct in TCURR table but in the query it is populating wrong.
Can any one advise if I need to do any report relevant changes to make it properly visible in the report.
Thanks,

Can you elaborate on this? If you can copy and paste the snapshot of what you are getting in the report, that will help us to understand what you are trying to say.

Financial reports in 4th currency

Hi,
I understand that SAP can support generation of reports in 3 currencies (those maintained in Tcode OB22). Our client uses 4 currencies, for instance CAD, USA, USD, MXN, and would like to generate financial reports in all these 4 currencies. Is this possible? If so what configuration needs to be done.
I appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Ram

We have solved this by using Spl GL.
