BEX Currency conversion created by the business

Hello,
I need to convert from USD to other currencies defined by the users in R/3. So the business figures the exchange rate in R/3 and I need to take that value and use it for converting the date in BEx. Any help? This is a very urgent requirement so anything would be great.

Hi,
You can set up currency converison in the bex query by right clicking the KF and choosing the currency conversion type and a fixed currency to convert to, or providing a variable where users can decide the currency they want.
To get the rates into BW you can schedule a job (RSIMPCURR) with daily frequency.

Check which data records have been updated or created by the business rule.

Dear all,
   Is there any way to check which data records have been updated or created by the business rule?
   For ex:
   When I run a data package which execute some standard store procedure and the log shows :
Executing SPRUNCONVERSION 'LEGALAPP', [ACTUAL], [GGGG],'GLOBAL','SPSCOPE_42412','SPLOG_125272'
SPRunConversion Version 2.06
20071200 - 210 Rows Calulated
20071200 - 84 Rows Updated
Anyway to see the data content of "84 Rows Updated "?
Best Regards,
Jeff

Yes each aplication has 3 fact tables:
FACTWB:Real time storage, when you send data it is stored here and this is linked to the FACTWB partition in OLAP which is a ROLAP partition to enable real time updates of the data.
FAC2: Short term storage. If too many records are in the FACTWB the aplication becomes slow because these records need to be queried by the OLAP engine everytime new records are send to the database. To clean up te real time storage you can do a lite optimize, which will move the FACTWB records to the FAC2 partition. this lite optimize can be done even when users are in the system.
FACT: this is the long term storage. When your reporting is finished you can run a full optimize to clean up both FACTWB and FAC2 tables and store it in the FACT table. This contains all your historical records.
Evertime you run a reort, SAP BPC is looking at all 3 partitions and combines the data of the 3 partitions to present the correct value in your report. Remember that BPC is posting differences in the WB and not the final values. So if you have for example a record with 10 in the FAC2 partition and you send 12 to the database for that intersection, BPC will post only 2. When running a report it combines the 10 and the 2 which makes 12.
Hope this makes it more clear.

*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
Dhana

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

Fetch dollar to euro currency conversion rate from the interwebs ...

Hey guys,
this might sound like a dumb question to you, but is there a way
to fetch the dollar to euro currency conversion rate from let's say
yahoo finance into a single cell inside numbers 09?
Basically what want is, just a plain output in a number like:
0,7421 so that I can use it to convert various values.
I'm just sick of going to the website every day and copy paste the
value into my numbers file.
I'd really really appreciate it, if someone could help me.
I don't know anything about apple scripting, but I think this might
be the way to go?
Best, JK

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

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,

NO Links or Associations created with the "Business Components From Tables"

Hello,
I have a strange problem. I'm working on a Fusion Web Applicaiton. In the Model project, I try to create some Business Components from Tables with the help of the provided wizard.
I select one of my IDE Connections, and I choose two of my tables as Entity Objects (*PATIENTS* and COUNTRIES - more details about them bellow), and also as Updatable View Objects. For Read-Only View Objects I select some other tables, afterwards I choose to create a default Application Module, and I press Finish without creating a Business Diagram. Everything works perfectly except of the fact that the wizzard has created everything but the Links and the Associations between my tables.
To be more precise, COUNTRIES is a simple table, only two columns - ID and NAME, and PATIENTS has some columns like ID, NAME, ADDRESS, DATE_OF_ADMISSION, COUNTRY_ID, where COUNTRY_ID is a foreign key to the COUNTRIES table. Both columns, PATIENTS.COUNTRY_ID and COUNTRIES.ID are NUMBERs. I was expectig the wizard to create a Link and a Association for this foreign key constraint I have between this two tables.
On the other hand, following one of the tutorials I've found, *"Developing RIA Web Applications with Oracle ADF"*, I've noticed that when I was creating Business Components from Tables based on the HR schema, all the Links and Associations were created as they were expected. I've also tried to create the same Business Components from Tables in my own project, and all the Links and Associations were in place. Somehow, it's not working for my particular schema (the one that contains PATIENTS and COUNTRIES).
Is there something I do wrong? I've made sure that all the FK constraints are enabled, alive and kicking. From my point of view, the tables are working and behavig as they should, but I can't understand why that feature of automatically creating the Links and Associations works on the HR schema but not on mine.
Please help!
Bogdan.
PS: I am using Oracle JDeveloper Studio Edition Version 11.1.1.1.0, Oracle SQL Developer Version 1.5.5, and Oracle 10g Express Edition installed on localhost.

Hello John,
Of course I can post the scripts.
The schema name is "TEST". But you should know that there are some extra columns in the PATIENTS table, I've not mentioned before. As you can tell from the scripts bellow, the PATIENTS table has the following columns: ID (number), NAME (varchar2), COUNTRY (number), GENDER (number), ADMISSIONDATE (date), DIAGNOSTIC (number), FIRSTNAME (varchar2), SALARY (number). There are actually 3 FK constraints, I've only mentioned one for the simplifying the example. The first FK constraint is towards COUNTRIES, the second one is towards GENDERS, and the final one is towards DIAGNOSTICS. All this 3 tables have only two columns (ID as number, and GENDER as varchar2). I will post the scripts for all.
Here is the output of the Export DDL to Clipboard from SQL Developer for the COUNTRIES table:

Business Rule Currency Conversion and Carry Forward

Hello Guys,
I have a question related to the Business Rules Currency Conversion and Carry Forward
I configured the business rule "Currency Conversion" and I selected "Apply to Periodic". What this rules does with the flag selected is to get the value of the previous month converted and add the factor (Local Currency previos month - Local Currency Actual month) * Exchange Rate of Current Month
For Example: USD previos month +
This rule applies perfectly from FEB to DEC but if I run it for January, it does not consider the value of USD previos month and LC previous month for calculations so the result I get is:
(and of course it´s because it only applies to periodic)
I need to include into my results this amounts and factor so the question is: Is not a flag I can activate to force the system to act as it does for FEB to DEC periodic ??
I also set up the Business Rule "Carry Forward" so with this rule Im able to bring values converted in USD from DEC to JAN for example from a Data Source Input, but the problem is that it erase any other value I have in other Data Source members and I need to keep that info.
Hope you can come with a suggestion.
Im working with SAP BPC NW 7.5 SP08

Hello guys,
Yes, my fiscal year is from JAN to DEC and Im using a YTD app,
As you mentioned for P&L accounts the rule works fine; but we want to carry forward LEQ accounts. Is there a way to use or configure the currency conversion rule with the flag "Apply to Periodic" to carry forward LEQ accounts for the next following year?
Here is how we configured our Carry Forward Business Rule
Source and Destionation account = 4111
Source and destionation Flow= FCLO
Reverse Sign= False
Data Source Type= ALL
Same Period= False
Apply to Periodic=False
Opening Data Source=DatosBase
Source Data Source = AJ_AC

Hi Sankar,
you could easily setup a variable for the actual currency and the actual currency conversion routine in the BI query and the BusinessObjects tools would then leverage the BI variables

Currency Conversion using third party tool

Hi,
I am trying to access BW from a third party tool and so far been quite successfull accessing BW Infocubes and Bex Queries by using OLAP BAPIs. However my customer wants to use currency conversion as it is available in BEX in the third party tool as well. I need some thoughts in this direction from experts who have worked on Business Objects and BW integration.
I believe Business Objects has a similar interface with BW using OLAP BAPIs. Is there a currency conversion functionality available in Business Objects for BW? Would really appreciate if somebody, who has tried out this feature, can share some of his/her experience.
Thanks,
Anurag.

Jean,
We use Maestro for all our scheduling scripts. To start\stop the
environment and start\stop applications. We create a shell script that uses
escript to start/stop applications. Maestro just calls the shell scripts
and monitor it for completion. I think you have to write the shell script
in a standard way to return an error if it does not finish properly. Here
is an example:
#!/bin/csh
source /appls/forte/fortedef.csh
$FORTE_ROOT/install/bin/start_nodemgr -fm "(x:300000)" -e TR2ProdEnv
ps -fu forte | grep -v grep|grep nodemgr>/appls/forte/production/scripts/KBB
set KBB=/appls/forte/production/scripts/KBB
if (-z $KBB) then
exit 1
else
exit 0
endif
Hope this helps.

Currency Conversion using RRC1-Urgent!!

I have a requirement where I need to create a new currency conversion type. The query displays invoices posted in a particular period and their value in USD. The conversion rate gets posted somewhere in the middle of the period.The conversion happens such that the invoices posted before the date on which the rate was posted pick the previous period's rate, which those posted after that date use the new rate.
Business requires all invoices falling in a period to use the rate posted in that period and to use the previous month's rate only when the new rate is not available. Can someone let me know what variable time ref. I am supposed to use to acheive this.Any kind of response will be greatly appreciated as this is pretty urgent.
Thanks
Akhila.

Hi Akhila,
I did not want to say, that the currency rates have to be maintained at a certain date. What I wanted to know is, if the <b>validity date</b> could be influenced as this would be the simpliest solution.
Nevertheless, what you need is a currency conversion type, that has a variable time reference and is based on 0CALDAY (or another appropriate time InfoObject). Check the period definiton for the time reference. Maybe, "End Month" (respectively "End of Period", ...) could solve the problem. As you probably know, all this has to be done in transaction RRC2.
If this does not help, it could be useful to describe the currency conversion type's definition as well as a description what validity date is stored in table TCURR.
Kind regards,
Stefan

BEx Currency Translation for planned Currency rate

Dear Experts,
The requirement of my query is to convert the key figures to Group Currency (EUR) at a fixed exchange rate defined by the user in the beginning of a planning cycle.
In the IMG I have created an Exchange Rate type for manual input and defined the exchange rate for a fix date for the currencies I want to convert.
When creating Currency conversion type (tcode RSCUR) in the tab Exchange Rate Ive chosen my Exchange Rate type and the option Dynamic Exchange Rate Determination. In the Currency tab Ive chosen a variable of manual input for the currency and the option Target Currency Selection with translation. In the Time Ref. I opted for a fixed time reference.
On the query definition I choose Currency conversion type and the variable I created for it.
Can anyone tell me how can we allow the user to commute between the two currencies in the query for the same translation?
Another question/problem is that we are using the table TCURR for keeping the exchange rates for the planning process. Does anyone has a different solution to keep this currency rates?
Many Thanks and Best Regards,

Hi
So these planning functions work in the same way as the BEx Currency translation? it makes the currency conversion to present the data in the new currency. If I save the data I will keep the data in the new currency, am I right?
**Yes.**
If I am using the same Key figure for source and target key figure can I still use the standard IP function?
**Yes.**
And if I wanted to convert back to the original currency I had to create a new planning function and a new currency translation type to do the opposite?
**You can try Repost Function.**

The requirement is to get the current price in EURO from the price list instead of currency conversion to EUR.The current price has to be extracted from new pricelist.
Your inputs in this regard is highly appreciated.

HI
    Am not on SAP system now, so will try to give you
info with what i can recollect.
   You can use FM: SD_SALESDOCUMENT_CREATE for creating
Credit Memo Request. Note that reference document and
reference type should be passed for identifying the
reference document as invoice. Please consider these as
initial inputs to explore on the same. Regarding the
pricing, it can be configured either at order type or
copy control to carry out new pricing so it can take
directly from condition records.
    Hope the above info can help you in exploring on the same.
Kind Regards
Eswar

Currency conversion variable

I have a question regarding currency conversion variable.
We have USD and CAD currencies in BW. I created a currency conversion variable in the properties of a key figure using average rate for current date (0MEANTODAY) and that variable was working fine for a long time. Now I noticed that variable got corrupted in BWD but still works in BWQ and BWP systems. I can see in BWD that variable has nothing in a Variable Represent box and Ready for Input checkbox is not checked. It doesnt let me to fix or repair this variable. I cannot run any existing queries in BWD that use this variable. The error message is Variable 0MEANTODAY is not permitted for the target currency
I created another currency conversion variable that works in BWD. I know it is ok to have multiple variables for a dimension, lets say Cal Year/Month has a number of variables. I am not sure whether it is allowed to have multiple currency conversion variables and use different currency conversion variables in different queries. We have about 40 queries that use old currency conversion variable in BWP. If Ill move new query with a new currency conversion variable to BWP, will it cause any problems for the existing reports that use an old variable? I want to know whether it will present a problem running 40 reports that are already in prod besides the fact it will be inconsistent for a while until Ill switch all reports to use a new variable.
I dont know why that variable got corrupted. A few weeks ago basis applied some patches in BWP and copied it to BWQ and BWD systems but I am not sure that caused a problem.
I am relatively new to BW and will very much appreciate any help. I havent done transport to production for more that a week and cannot wait any more.
Thanks,

I was dealing with this problem for more than a week. Finally I got help from SAP today. As it was explained to me, we were using very old version of BW front end (part of SAP GUI) which became incompatible with the new patches we applied in BWP and copied to BWQ and BWD. Basically, I was told to upgrade BW front end that caused problems especially in the Variable Wizard area.
I repaired the currency conversion variable and move it to production. So far all reports run ok in production.
If anybody will have problems with currency conversion variables, please check your front end version.
Thanks.
