Automated Exchange Rate Loading in BPC NW

Question

Hello Everyone,
Is anyone doing an automated load of exchange rates from BW to BPC?
If we plan to load transactional data from SAP R/3 via BW to BPC, we would like to do the same for the exchange rates...
I know we can load automatically from an infocube to BPC but how about the TCURR table?
Are you uploading TCURR into an infocube first and then loading or do you have bright alternatives? I would be interested to know.
best regards,
Luis

Hi All
I hope this will help you to pull Exchange rate data from ECC Table : TCURR  to SAP BI System.
ECC Steps : Creation of generic datasource
1) Create generic Transaction Data source Using TCode : RSO2 with name ZTCURR and then press create Button.
2) Input Applic. Component:  FI-GL and give description.
3) Input View/Table: TCURR and Press save Button.
4) This will take you to extract structure of data source ZTCURR. In this structure select respective field from the selection field option (In future we will use it in BI info package) and then press save button.
5) Use Tcode:  RSA3 to check the data by giving custom data source ZTCURR name.
Note:In this case we are extracting full data from TCURR table. If your project demands you can use delta specific field.
SAP BI 7 Steps
1) Go to BI system, TCode: RSA1--> Source System-> Replicate metadata, then you can see generic data source "ZTCURR" in your BI data source tree.
2) Maintain Info cube Structure same like table : TCURR, 
ECC Field       ECC DATA TYPE                          BI Field          BI Data Type                    
KURST      CHAR                             ZKURST          CHAR (Length 4)
FCURR      CUKY                      ZFCURR          CHAR (Length 5)
TCURR      CUKY                      ZTCURR          CHAR (Length 5)
GDATU      CHAR                      ZGDAT            CHAR (Length 8)
UKURS      DEC                            ZUKURS                          NUMBER ( Key Figure )
FFACT      DEC                            ZFFACT          NUMBER ( Key Figure )
TFACT      DEC                          ZTFACT          NUMBER ( Key Figure )
3) Conversion of default format "YYYY/MM/DD" to "YYYYMMDD".
In Transformation: "GDATU" is number format, not date format, so we need to write start routine in transformation.
With the Help of below code you can convert default format
"YYYY/MM/DD" to "YYYYMMDD".
DATA: DATE      TYPE CHAR10,
          L_INDEX   TYPE SY-INDEX.
  LOOP AT SOURCE_PACKAGE ASSIGNING <SOURCE_FIELDS>.
    L_INDEX = SY-TABIX.
    CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_INVDT_OUTPUT'
      EXPORTING
        INPUT  = <SOURCE_FIELDS>-GDATU
      IMPORTING
        OUTPUT = DATE.
    CONCATENATE DATE+6(4)
                DATE+3(2)
                DATE+0(2)
    INTO <SOURCE_FIELDS>-GDATU.
    MODIFY SOURCE_PACKAGE FROM <SOURCE_FIELDS> INDEX L_INDEX TRANSPORTING GDATU.
ENDLOOP.                    
Note : Customize above ABAP code according to your client requirement.
4) Calculation of Month End Rate----> Means last working day of month
Go to BI transformation and write formula in ZGDAT field. In this case add GDATU as source field of rule and write below formula.
*Last working day of month Formula *    :             LAST_WORKINGDAY_MONTH( GDATU, '' )
Last working day is calculated  based on the data maintained in the ECC TCODE : SCAL ( SAP Calendar )
5)  CALMONTH calculation:  conversion of YYYYDDMM format   to YYYYMM format.
This below given ABAP code helps you to convert GADTU: YYYYDDMM format   to CALMONTH : YYYYMM format.
In BI transformation write field routine in CALMONTH field  to display  date in this YYYYMM format.
DATA : L_GDATU TYPE tys_SC_1-GDATU.
CLEAR L_GDATU.
CONCATENATE SOURCE_FIELDS-GDATU0(4) SOURCE_FIELDS-GDATU4(2)
            INTO L_GDATU.
RESULT = L_GDATU.
