An error in Script Logic

Question

Hi Experts,
I have a problem with one of the FXTranslation logicu2019s in one of my report can u please help me on that.
The logic works fine for 2 reports out of 3, for the 3rd report I donu2019t know why itu2019s not doing the translation to USD. As far as the design of the report goes the 2 reports for which translation works fine comprises of 2 logics one for percentage allocation and other for translation from LC to USD, whereas the 3rd report needs only translation but doesnu2019t need the allocation logic to be run.
The conversion for the 3rd report happens if I comment out the allocation logic. Both these logics are mapped to Default.LGF file. I am unable to figure out what could be the error.
Below is the Script Logic for Aloocation and Translation:
//Budget Allocation
*SELECT(%CURR%,"[ID]","RPTCURRENCY","[CURRENCY_TYPE]='L' OR [CURRENCY_TYPE]='R'")
*XDIM_MEMBERSET RPTCURRENCY=%CURR%
*RUNALLOCATION
*FACTOR=USING/1
*DIM ACCOUNTB WHAT=[IS_ALLOC]='Y'; WHERE=<<<; USING=ALLOCPER
*DIM PRODUCTM WHAT=NOPRODUCT; WHERE<>NOPRODUCT; USING=<<<
*ENDALLOCATION
*COMMIT
// Currency Translation
*SELECT(%REPORTING_CURRENCIES%, "[ID]", "RPTCURRENCY", "[REPORTING] = 'Y'")
*SELECT(%FX_RATES%, "[ID]", "RATE", "[GROUP] = 'FX RATE'")
// Load the rates from the RATE cube
*LOOKUP RATE
            *DIM CATEGORY="BUDGET"
     *DIM RATEENTITY="GLOBAL"
     *DIM RATE=ACCOUNTB.RATETYPE
     *DIM SOURCECURR:INPUTCURRENCY=LEGALENTITY.CURRENCY
     *FOR %CURR%=%REPORTING_CURRENCIES%
          *DIM %CURR%:INPUTCURRENCY="%CURR%"
     *NEXT
*ENDLOOKUP
//  define the translation rule
*WHEN ACCOUNTB.RATETYPE
*IS "NOTRANS"
     // skip
*IS %FX_RATES%
           // translate
     *FOR %CURR%=%REPORTING_CURRENCIES%
          *REC(FACTOR=LOOKUP(%CURR%)/LOOKUP(SOURCECURR),RPTCURRENCY="%CURR%")
     *NEXT
*IS "COPYLC"
     // take as is
     *FOR %CURR%=%REPORTING_CURRENCIES%
          *REC(RPTCURRENCY="%CURR%")
     *NEXT
*ENDWHEN
*COMMIT
// Default
// FX Translation
*include FXTranslation.lgf
// Budget Allocation
*include BudgetAllocation.lgf

Hi Naresh,
One thing that helped me solve the problem was I needed to use different set of Dimension members/property in the Logic i.e What, Where and Using to trigger off the Curency Translation.
But please make sure that you use try to understand a unique dimension (member/property) used and use that to trigger off the translation or anything for that matter. My other two translations were working fine as the parameters i used were unique for them whereas the remaining one needed alteration in the logic only in the parameters used in What, Where and Using, so had to add one more set of Translation Logic for this exclusively.
Another point you need to check in your Rate Application is whether you have your Reporting Currency as value 1, say for eg USD is your reporting currency then the value in Rate Application for USD must be 1, if u by mistake cleared of this value when using the Clear Data Manager Package so the multiplication with 0 results in no conversion.
These were the two points that helped me solve my issue. I hope it helps.
Rgds,
Rizwan
