BEX - Using Currency Conversion

Hi All,
I have a report requirement to convert a Key Figure Amount from currency EURO into USD.
E.g Sales amount 100 is reported in euro, this needs to use a conversion rate to show it in USD instead.
I have created a DSO with the exchange rates for use with query designer.
How do I set this up in the Query Designer? Please be specific.
Thanks

1 Go to transaction RSCUR
2 Create a currency translation key, provide a technical name and description with which you can identify it
3 Under the Exchange Rate tab, provide details about the exchange rate type that you need to use. Generally companies have
   many different exchange rate types like for example, month end accounting rate, month beginning rate, budget rate, average
   rate, historical rate etc. Select the one which best suits the user requirements
4 Under the currency tab you can provide details about source and target currency. If in your case it is always going to be EURO
   to USD conversion, you can fix it or you can provide a variable which would take input from the user and accordingly convert it
5 Under time reference tab, you can provide a fixed time reference or a variable time reference using a standard infoobject
6 You can use this currency translation key in the required key figures in the report to enable currency conversion
Once this is done, you can request the design authority and BASIS team to maintain the required conversion factors between different currencies and exchnage rate types in SPRO >SAP Netweaver>Currencies
Kindly award points if you find this information to be useful
Best Regards,
Sameer

Using currency conversion and text variable at the same time

Hi all,
In a 3.5 bex query, i am applying currency conversion on a key figure with a variable of 0currency.
as i know, to be able to apply currency conversion, variable of currency should not be in Free characteristics or in Filter.
it has to be selected only on the key figure.
but now, i want to use text variable for selected currency (with type replacement path). But as i know, to be able to use text variable, variable of currency has to be
in Free characteristics or in Filter.
Can you please advise, how to both use currency conversion and text variable on currency?
Thanks in advance.
Sancho

Sancho,
I'm not 100% sure about this, but I'm thinking that if you are pulling the text variable from a selection in a structure, you should not need it in the free characteristic or filter. Try creating a structure, placing the currency in it as a selection, and creating a text variable as the title for the selection that is based on the currency. This may help.
Cheers,
Rusty

Currency Translation Type in queries using currency conversion

I have a question on the Currency Translation Type (EUR_VAR) that is used in all of the queries using currency conversion on the fly. (currency is maintained automatically nor in table.)
User wants to use 2 different exchange rates in a single query. The months in 2010 (Actuals) are to
be converted using Xchangerate-type EURO and the months in 2011 (Planned) to use Xchangerate-type USD.
But store different rates with different starting dates. This is however not possible because the Currency Translation
Type is set-up (1) to work with Query Key date - rather than a characteristic in the data and (2) apparently these
currency translation types only work with time characteristics like 0fiscyear
My idea is therefor to:
1. Create a new variable (similar to EXC_RATE) to prompt for a 2nd Exchange Rate type when query starts
2. Create a new Currency Translation Type (next to EUR_VAR), referencing the new variable or sticking to fixed Xrate type, fixed to EUR
Is this possible to create Idea (2)
Many Thanks in Advance.

The best way would be to create two curr conversion types , one converting to EUR and other to USD .Put them in properties of coressponding KFs in query.For timref in RSCUR , variable time ref can be used individually for two conv types.

Bex Query - Currency conversion type

Hello all,
we have a requirement of currency translation in our query. In rows we have key figure restricted with year and in column we have calmonth2 (range ex. Jan-Feb).Now we would like to take the last day of a month.
Example : lets say In column we have range January-February. We need to get the last day of February for the currency translation.
Can anyone suggest us how can we create currency translation type for this ? Especially how can we define the time refernce while creating translation type in rscur transaction.

Hi,
You can refer to the following SAP help link for details on how to define time reference for currency translation:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/ec/076f3b6c980c3be10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
Navigate to OLAP -> Currency Translation -> Currency Translation Type.
I suggest you define the logic on which the time reference has to be calculated. If it needs to be entered on query execution, you can use variables as time reference. If it is required as end of month for particular month value, use Fixed object as 0CALMONTH to define the same with 'End of Month' restriction. All of this can be done in RSCUR.
Hope it helps.
Thanks,
Abhishek.

How to use Currency Conversion

Regards
Bala

Hi Som.
Have you ever tried this currencyConversion service as per in the document.
I followed the same implementation to create a application service for Exchange Rate. But I could'nt able to execute the service. Do you have any sample code to use the service getExchangeRate in our code?
Thanks

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 - selection screen

Hi All,
I am using currency conversion in my report. My requirement is to accept the target currency from user. In my scenario everything is working fine but users are not getting currencies in their selection screen. But if they manually type some currencies in the selection screen he will get report in the required currency. I want to give the users that selection screen with all the currencies. I have maintained most of the currency tables. Is there any specific setting which needs to be done to solve this issue?

Create Currency Conversion on Infoset

Hi Expert,
I face the problem, when i used currency conversion on the query (that query I created on infoset).
I have already created the Currency conversion on calmonth. , but i dont know why that variable is not visible on that query when i want to select it.
Can the expert give the advise?
I will give the point if it;s helpfull.
Thanks in advance.
Siandari

Hello ,
I have a infoset on which I want to use currency conversion.Currency conversion works fine on infoset , but I can not choose time reference from variable in rscur where I create conversion type to use in infoset queries.
I want to make a currency conversion on a specific date which users enter in variable screen.
In an ODS or infocube query I can use conversion types on which I create time reference from variable .
So all currency conversions are done on a specific date.
But in infoset queries I can not make currency conversion on a variable.
Does anyone has a problem like me? What is your solution ?
Thanks all.

Currency Conversion Variable is showing the Technical name of the variable.

Hi friends,
We are using currency conversion Variable in our querie, it was showing the description of the variable until yesterday.
Somehow something has changed and suddenly its showing up the Technical Name inteasd of Description. This is happening not only to one variable but for many of them.
Can someone pls guide me how to rectify this?
Your help verymuch appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

We had the same problem. Unfortunately this setting only seems to be available for a query view. We were using web reporting anyway so we just converted the dataprovider to be a query view where this setting had been made. It's a bit ugly but it worked.

Currency Conversion Type missing in BEx

I have created a new conversion translation type M1 based on Monthly Average exchange.
RSCUR definition for this conversion on the time ref tab to be a "variable time reference"- End of Period for
Standard Info Object Fiscal Period "0FISCPER".
Is this configuration the cause for placing a limiting restriction on the visability of this selection at runtime of query.
The following currency translation types are not available at the runtime of the query.
●      Translation types for which a variable is stored (variable time reference, source currency from variable, target currency from variable, and so on).
From BEx I am unable to select Currency Conversion (Convert to Currency USD) and Use of Currency Translation M1
Thank You ...... Dan

Andrey:
Once BEx query results are displayed in M/S excel ... the user navigates (right click) to (local) query properties:
Tab >> Currency Conversion >> select Convert to Currency will open option to determine Currency (USD) and Currency Translation (via drill down).
Those Currency conversion types configured with variable time reference on InfoObject 0FISCPER cannot re-determine
target currency values. Fixed Time reference conversion types can be selected through BEx.
I found a restriction/ limitation in the following thread.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/ec/076f3b6c980c3be10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
Restrictions:
The following currency translation types are not available at the runtime of the query.
●      Inactive translation types
●      Translation types for which a variable is stored (variable time reference, source currency from variable, target currency from variable, and so on)
●      Translation types in which an InfoObject is used for determining the source currency or target currency.
Are you aware of any way around this ??
Thank you ....... Dan

Currency Conversion in BeX Query

Hello Experts
I want to have corrency convetion option in Bex Query and have few questions regardig that.
i am using key figure 0DEB_CRE_LC which has currency as 0LOC_CURRCY.
1. how do i allow user to enter currecny, using some input variable for currency char.?
2. do i need to associate some date for this conversion?
3. what exchange rate will be used?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Sudeep

Hello Sudeep,
1. how do i allow user to enter currecny, using some input variable for currency char.?
Answer: Create a variable on 0Currency and select the conversion type which you have maintained in RSCUR tcode. Make this variable as input ready. This will give the user the flexibility to enter the Currency.
2. do i need to associate some date for this conversion?
Answer: Yes you need to associate the Currency conversion type to your conversion. Same can be maintained in RSCUR tcode.
3. what exchange rate will be used?
Answer: In RSA1, goto source system tab and right click on the Source system. Select "Transfer exchange rates". This will transfer the exchange rates which are maintained in your ECC side. The exchange rates are maintained in table TCURR. you can check the table in SE16.

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.

Bex to Business Objects - Currency Conversion error in Webi

Hello,
I am attempting to transfer a Bex 7 key figure currency conversion to a Business Objects filter in a Universe for display in a Webi report. The version of Business Objects XI 3.1 SP2. The Bex Conversion Type is based off Calendar Month, and the Target Currency variable is a selection prompt. The filter is passed to the universe and prompts when the report is ran in Webi, but an error occurs if the currency is populated. For instance, if I populate the filter in Webi with 'USD', the following error occurs: The MDS query SELECT "....." failed to execute with the error Value 'USD' FOR variable "Currency" is invalid (WIS 10901).
I'm not sure if the currency conversion information is being properly transferred and translated to Business Objects. Does anyone have any insight on this issue?
Thank you,
Brock

I was able to modify the dimension for the filter to retrieve the correct object (Ex. USD), but there are multiple incorrect selections for USD and other currency types. For instance, when I type in USD i get 5 different options, and the one with the description 'American Dollar' is the correct one. Why is Webi displaying all these different options? When I display the options for currency in Bex only one 'USD' is shown in the list. Here is my filter condition for currency type in the Universe:
<OPTIONAL><FILTER KEY="[SELCUR]"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal"><CONSTANT TECH_NAME="@Prompt('Select Currency','A','Organization\Cur Key',mono,primary_key)"/></CONDITION></FILTER></OPTIONAL>
Cur Key is my customized hidden dimension
Thank you

*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
Dhana.

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.

HI,
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.
