Asset adjustment bcoz of currency conversion differences

Hi Good morning,
Have situation in Asset management, while we purchasing assets on month end and some other time, small amounts (3$, or 5$) are capitalizing to the assets account becoz of currency conversions differences rather than gain or loss currency differences account, coming soon we have to avoid this with config changes.
I'm wondering how to reverse or deduct those small amounts from assets to gain or loss exchange account and what configuration has to be carried to avoid permanent.
Could any body help on this to over come..
Thanks in advance and points are available.

Currency Conversion - difference in behaviour of NW compared to Microsoft

Hi Everyone,
When migrating from BPC Microsoft 7.0 to Netweaver 7.5NW SP01 we setup the same reporting currency conversion as we had before. A simple conversion of reporting currency from LC into EUR and USD.
We noticed:
- the currency conversion of accounts that had no RATETYPE used to convert at a factor of 1. In NW the system ignores these accounts and does not convert them...USD and EUR are blank
SAP help states this should be possible...
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bpc75_nw/helpdata/en/7b/4479fd9b394314a257d92d9be6a71f/content.htm]
- EUR and USD in Microsoft version are considered calculated members and do not allow direct entry into them in the input schedules (the CALC property is Y). In NW version, we can enter directly numbers in these reporting currencies, which makes it confusing for users and may lead to errors
Did anyone experience any of these behaviours?
thanks for sharing,
best regards,
Luis

Hi Luis,
This is off the top of my head, but my experience matches yours. I think you will have to add a new rate type to all your accounts that you want to convert with the multiplier of 1, and set up a business rule with
[COPYLC]
in the formula. Maybe I'm missing something, but it looks to me like the documentation is simply incorrect on this point in the Netweaver version.
As far as EUR and USD, are you using the STORED_CALC property in your MS system? In my brief tests of this functionality I've never been able to get this property to have the desired effect (setting CALC=Y for a base member) in the NW version. You may want to open a message for the issue if this is what you were using on the MS side and it's not working for you. It would be nice to have it working.

Currency conversion - CO differences

Hi Guys,
We are doing technical currency conversion at data base tableu2019s level from SGD to USD for our company code (EURO solution). During this conversion, FI reconciliation is able to achieve. On the other hand where CO data also changed balances form SGD to USD on fixed rate (exchange rate) conversion base, it will lead some small rounding differences either +/-. Is there any way to adjust these small differences in CO module alone with out impacting to other modules (Running EURO CO reconciliation programs i have idea apart from this any solution Plz)!
Thanks for your valuable inputs.

Thanks Guys.
We decided to use conversion cost center and element or internal order to write off the differences during currency conversion occured. Once go-live went will block for postings and for reporting management need to omit this.
Thanks...Vyas

(Strange) Currency Conversion on YTD Application

Hi experts
I found a wrong currency conversion on YTD Application and my customer also has the same problem.
Here is the example:
Rate Application
2008.JAN 1 EUR = 1.2 USD
2008.FEB 1 EUR = 1.2 USD
2008.MAR 1 EUR = 1.4 USD
Finance Application (a YTD application)
CV Time: YTD
2008.JAN 10 EUR
2008.FEB 20 EUR
2008.MAR 30 EUR
CV Time: Periodic
2008.JAN 10 EUR
2008.FEB 10 EUR
2008.MAR 10 EUR
For the correct currency conversion (to USD), I should get
2008.JAN 12 USD (10x1.2)
2008.FEB 12 USD (10x1.2)
2008.MAR 14 USD (10x1.4)
2008.Q1 38 USD
But the result is
2008.JAN 12 USD (10x1.2)
2008.FEB 12 USD (10x1.2)
2008.MAR <wrong> USD (10x???)
Is it a bug or my wrong configuration ?
ps. you can try it
Regards,
Halomoan
Edited by: Halomoan Zhou on Jun 20, 2008 8:54 AM

What you see is normal behaviour:
when you do a ytd currency conversion, the YTD LC amount will be translated against the entered rates.
If you then look to periodic data, the ytd previous period amount will be deducted from the ytd current perid amount by OLAP.
This then means that you cannot calculate the periodic LC amounts against the entered rates.
If this wasn't the case, the calculation below will not work on converted numbers:
YTD februari + periodic march = YTD march
I think that the calculation above must always work. BUT I know of one customer that didn't wanted this behaviour, they wanted that the periodic values AND the ytd values calculated against the same entered rate. There are several ways to achieve this; we added a member in the subtables dimensions to store the difference and then adjusted the measures calculation so that this difference was picked up by OLAP when selecting the periodic measure.
AGAIN: I didn't like this because the calculation of "YTD februari + periodic march = YTD march" is in my opinion a holy one.... But the customer is always right
Hope this helps,
Alwin

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
1.3.- Item for differences: income statement item with an effect on earnings
2.- MARS-GAP-NonMonetary
2.1.- Items of balance sheet
2.2.- Translation Key 6
2.3.- Item for differences: income statement item with an effect on earnings
3.-MARS-MOR-Monetary
3.1.- Items of P&L
3.2.- Translation Key 5
3.3.- Item for differences: income statement item without an effect on earnings
4.-MARS-MOR-NonMonetary
4.1.- Items of P&L
4.2.- Translation Key 6
4.3.- Item for differences: income statement item without an effect on earnings
5.- MARS-HIST
5.1.- Items of balance sheet
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...

Local Currency conversion in PO

Hi
Iam facing problem in wrong Local currency conversion while doing GR reversal for foriegn currency Subcontract PO.
Local Currency : EUR
PO Currency : HUF
User has entered wrong Exchange rate in OB08. (Indirect Quotation : HUF -> EUR) & did Goods Receipt with reference to PO. After that Exchange
rate has been corrected immediately, but some GR documents posted with wrong exchange rate.
To correct the wrong entries, Again Wrong exchange rate has been updated in OB08 & reversed those material document in MBST. But the strange issue is system calculating different local currency for those reversed documents. The Local currency Amount of Goods receipt document & reversed document local currency amount is not matching,Ideally both should match.
Following observations on this,
1. Exchange rate are same in both doucments. I have checked in document Header.
2. GR Qty & Reversed Qty are same.
3. PO currency (HUF) amount are same in both doucments.
4. Finished Material & Raw material are managed in standard Price.
5. Document date & Posting date are same in both doucments.
Anybody can explain why the system updates wrong local currency ?
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
RRS

I do not remember the Tcode, however it is under SPRO>>General setitings>> currency .. guess it is OB90
And if the difference is large. check the following:
Check the exchange rate type you use, next go to OB08 and see if the inverse translation is maintained for your currencies EUR- HUF and HUF- EUR
and then check OB07 and see what settings you have for the ex. rate type you have i.e Inv, fixed ...
You might hit upon something here

Sorting Currency conversion Variables in Query Selection screen

Hi Experts,
I have an issue in sorting variables.
A Currency translation is used here which has two selection options here, one for "Currency" and one for "Currency conversion date". They just pop in somewhere in the selection screen with out order. I want to put them together either in the middle or at the bottom.
They are not visible in the Variable sequence tab of query properties.
I changed the text for each of them (Ex. "XCurrency"), so that it sorts alphabetically, but no difference.
Had anybody come accross this issue before.
regards
G Rai

Hi,
This seems strange that the variable does not show in the query properties. One thing I can suggest it to try changing the technical name/desciption of the variable if that changes the order.
Please update back the thread if that helps.

Currency Conversion issue for YTD model

Hello,
Currently our Client is using YTD (year to date) model to maintain data into BPC 7.5NW, and planning to use BPC for currency conversion from LC to USD. They are not converting the values in Transactional system. When performing this all Balance sheet accounts will be using YTD model for conversion, but income statement accounts should be using Periodic values for conversion.
We have two different Entity FX types: one is USDFNC - USD functional and NUSDFNC - Non USD functional. One of the differences between these two FX types is CTA account, USDFNC is using expense Account to Book CTA and NUSDFNC is using Equity Account to book CTA.
To achieve the above mentioned requirement, I did configure BPC as follows:
1) Use RATE type AVG (average for Income statement accounts)
2) Use RATE type END (spot rate for Balance sheet Accounts)
3) In business rules for Account rate type AVG- formula would be [AVG], apply to periodic flag will be checked.
5) in business rules for Account Rate Type END - Formula would be [END], apply to periodic flag will be blank.
6) To calculate CTA for ENTITY FX type- NUSDFNC, I configured the following in Account Rate type AVG - destination account is equity account, Formula is [END]-[AVG], apply to periodic flag will be blank and Entity FX type is NUSDFNC.
7) To calculate CTA for ENTITY FX type- USDFNC, I configured the following in Account Rate type AVG - destination account is expense account, Formula is [END]-[AVG], apply to periodic flag will be blank and Entity FX type is USDFNC.
Above configuration is giving me correct converted result for all Balance sheet accounts and income statement accounts are showing the correct values when I use the formula (current period LC amount-previous period LC amount)*(current period AVG rate). But I saw difference in Balance sheet, so further analyzed CTA (currency Translation Accounts) and found that the difference is because of CTA amount only. Similar CTA differences exist for both USDFNC entities and NUSDFNC entities. So, I think my logic to calculate CTA is not working.
I am using the standard script logic to run Currency Conversion:
*RUN_PROGRAM CURR_CONVERSION
     CATEGORY = %CATEGORY_SET%
     TID_RA = %TIME_SET%
     CURRENCY = %RPTCURRENCY_SET%
     RATEENTITY = GLOBAL
*ENDRUN_PROGRAM
*COMMIT
Can any one help me to understand whether this configuration is correct? I feel that I may need to change the logic for calculating CTA. But not sure about what and where
Edited by: amarnathputta on Nov 24, 2011 5:36 AM

Thank you Ethan,
Let me try to explain this with few dollar amounts:
Let us consider that I have data for 1st month (Jan) of the year 2011,
Net income for Jan. 2011 in LC = 59916152.19
Net income for Jan. 2011 in USD calculated using Average rate is = $ 9,223,013.14
CTA for the same month is (net income in LC X spot rate) - net income in USD at average rate =((59916152.19)*(0.154617))-9223013.14 = 41,042.564
This value is correct.
For the month of Feb 2011:
Net income for Feb.2011in LC = 60415519.01
Net income for Feb.2011 in USD at average rate (with periodic flag on) = 9,300,112.38 ( I calculated this value manually and it is correct after conversion)
calculated CTA for the same month is (60415519.01*0.154083)-9300112.38 = 8,892.035.
But actually BPC calculated CTA is 18,547.56 (I felt that this may be because I am not using the Flag apply periodic value while calculating CTA and when I flagged that, BPC is giving me a very big difference in CTA)
My balance sheet is exactly off with the difference in CTA.
Hope this helps you to understand my problem.

Currency conversion with variable in selection mask with problems

Hi Gurus,
I want to implement a currency conversion as follows:
when the query is opened a selection screen should appear and the whole data which is with Euro currency should be possible to translate in USD, GBP, FRF (depends on which currency the user is choosing).
I did a conversion with a variable with default value USD but I am not able to insert multiple currencies like GBP and FRF as default value/ suggestion in variable.
I created a variable on 0Currency with following adjustments:
- Processing By: Manual Input/Default Value.
- Reference Characteristic (0CURRENCY) Currency.
- Variable Represents: Single Value.
- Ready for input: checked
- default value: USD.
With adjustment "variable represents" > "single value" it is not possible to insert two or three currencies as default value.
When changing "variable represents" to "multiple single values" or to "selection option" it is possible to insert two or three currencies as default value.
But when the variable is saved with "multiple single values" or "selection option" the variable doesn´t appear in currency translation type in tab currency when selecting target currency with option "target currency from variable".
Any idea why the variable doesn´t appear with adjustments with "multiple single values" or "selection option"?
Or any idea how it is possible to achieve my whished currency conversion?
Thanks in advance!

That´s correct. I want to have a list of currencies in which it would be possible to translate. That means clicking in selection mask and the list appears.
That was my first thougth ... removing the default value. I removed the default value but only Euro (EUR) appeared in that list for selecting. I thought this has maybe something to do with the data which is available in the cube and that is only in EUR.
I will check the RSCURR and what kind of currencies are available.

Currency conversion with query selection mask and InfoObject 0Curtype

Hi,
question to following scenario:
in the data source is an column with the currency type. This currency type column contains values like
10 = company code currency
20 = account area currency
So for each data set in the table is an assignment of currency types.
In the cube is an InfoObject called 0Curtype (for currency types 10,20,30 ...).
In the BEx Query should a filter or selection be possible before the whole data is displayed.
The user can select in which currency he wants to display the data. When he selects the 10 the whole data is displayed in different currencies which are available because its local currency (Euro, Dollar etc.). By selecting 20 the whole data is displayed in Euro.
Does anybody knows how to achieve that? Is there any function module availabe which is provided by SAP and it is available for use?
Thank you in advance!!!

Hi There:
You have two options available.
One you can define currency conversion variable in transaction RSCUR. Then use this currency conversion variable at query run time using a formula Key figure and go to Conversions tab and select this variable. Then at query run time the query will convert your key figure from source currency type to target currency type. But this can significantly impact your query run time because the query will calculate this at query run time.
The second option is to use a standard SAP function module CONVERT_TO_LOCAL_CURR in the back end and store this key figure in the back end during data load. This way the query will run faster for you. The difference is significant in my case.
Good luck.
Let me know if you need more information.

Inputs on Currency Conversion

Hi Experts,
I need some help in the Currency conversion variable that I am using in my report.
I have few caluculated key figures that are caluculated on the basis of difference between current date and the Net Due date. Currency conversion is used in these variables.
I also have few Restricted keyfigures that are restricted on the Fiscal Period. Same currency conversion variables are used in these key figures also. The currency conversion variable is at a Fiscal period level.
However, the currency conversion is not happening on the Caluculated keyfigures but it works for Restricted keyfigures.
Please provide your valuable inputs.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Please give us some more information on the calculated key figure. How is it defined? I assume the calculations is based on amounts and not on dates as you've written?
Best regards,

Hi,
My problem here is that the values for JAN and FEB are correct with their decimal values but only for March it is 2 decimals higher.
Hence the TCURX table wonu2019t come into picture, since if TCURX entry was incorrect then it should show wrong values for JAN and FEB also.
When I checked the data in cubes for BW Test and Production the values for March are same still in the report I am getting the difference.
Report Output:-
March2011:-
BW Test                    12,056,385

Currency Conversion problem in query designer

Hi,
A requirement has come that infoobject which contain multiple currency type, need to convert into a single currency type in Bex reporting as user want to see only one currency value in report.
There are three keyfigures refering different calenders for conversion. For examle . GR amount is based on GR date, IR amount is based on IR date and PO amount is based on Doc date. Query is build based on a infoset.
I am doing following steps to achieve the task::
1. In TCODE - RSCUR, created three Currency Conversion Type each for GR, IR and PO and each one refering different 0calday calender
2. Defined exchange Rate Type as "M"
3. Currency Tab -> Source Currency = "Source Currency from data Record"
    Target Currency -> Fixed Target Currency = "USD"
4. Time Ref. Tab -> Fixed Time ref. = "Current Date"
    Variable time reference = "To the exact day"
    Special InfoObject = <InfoObject name>
5. In query designer, Key figure property for GR amount -> Conversion -> Conversion type = <Name of Currency Conversion Type which defined in RSCUR>
6. Repeated the same for IR Amount and PO Amount key figure
While saving, getting following error::
*Cannot apply Currency translation type <Currency type name> in Infocube <Infoset name>. *
Diagnosis
You tried to translate a query element with the currency translation type <Currency type name>. The translation type <Currency type name>, however, has variable time reference or variable target currency relevant to characteristic Document Date. Characteristic Document Date is also not available in InfoProvider <Infoset name> and it references either none or more than one characteristic () of the InfoProvider for Document Date, or Document Date is not a base characteristic.
System Response
Procedure
Adjust the query definition or create a special currency translation type for one of the characteristics .
Please help!
Please note that there are three key figures which need conversion using different calenders.
Sanjiv

Hello,
I have done the same what you said, but same error still showing....
I also tried to change from "Special InfoObject" to Infoset level and it works with one KF. Since all three KF are under one Infoset and there is limitation that if Currency Conversion Type is defined on Infoset level then only one KF will be assigned for a Infoset where as I am using three KFs with three relevant time characteristic.
Any suggesion from others?

Currency translation differences

Dear SDNers,
I have an issue concerning the currency translation differences.
In a step, I have, in the "Specific Translation" Tab selected the following characteristics :
1) 2 Items : A (BDC 1) and B (BDC 2)
2) MT cat : M1 and M2, because A and B have different BDC (BDC 1 allows M1 and BDC 2 allows M2)
3) Movement type : 141 (belongs to M1 and M2)
The Currency translation Diff has to be stored in the Movement type 142. My problem is that I should theorically put in the "Differences tab" :
MT cat : M1 and M2
Movement type : 142
BUT : I can only put one single MT Cat ! No complex selection allowed...
Do you have any hint to avoid that ? Because MT cat and Mtype are compounded => If I only put M1 and 142, the system can not be able to post for the item B....
Do I have to create 2 steps?
Thanks for your help
Regards
Thibaud

Hi,
Thanks for reply,
I had time to do some tests, and I am sorry, you are wrong :
the system displays a warning and adjust automatically according to what is written in the BDC of the account.

Currency Conversion happend Record wise or on Aggregated Level

Hi ,
Suppose we've currency converison applied on 0CALMONTH.
And suppose we've 5 records for a CALMONTH december. In the Report, we do not ahve Document No as part of rows, so in that case data for a CALMONTH will be aggregated.
So, in that case, whether the Currency Conversion happens on each record and then does the aggregation OR it will first do the aggregation for teh CALMONTH and then does the CURRENCY CONVERSION ?
Thanks & regards,
Jomy

Hi,
You may try to put 0CALMONTH in rows and KFs of Amount in original currency as well as Converted amount into Columns.
First observe Total of converted amount by expanding to 0CALMONTH in rows then remove the characteristics 0CALMONTH from rows and then see Total of converted amount.
If there is no difference it means that our understanding for currency conversion is correct.
Hope that helps.
