HI,
I know you already cleared that you done all configuration part but for more detail go through below document. Might be you missed something. Confirm that you had maintained all properties. Please share your script and D.M log also. Please confirm that you had also maintained rates in the rate model for particular period.

Consolidation Monitor- Translate Currency

Hi
Would like to know which one is controlling the Translate pop up screen in Consolidation Monitor:
When I am trying to execute Translate I get the following Dimensions:
Category:
Time:
Entity:
Reporting Currency:
Rate Entity:
Where as it should be :
Category:
Time:
Scope:
Rate Entity:
I do not understand why I am getting Reporting Currency and Entity while Scope is missing.
Appreciate any inputs on this.
Regards
SAP BOSS

Reporting Currency: If you selected a base entity, this dimension is displayed, enabling you to select the currency in which you want to run the translation.
Rate EntityIf you selected a base entity, this dimension is displayed, enabling you to select the Rate Entity in which the exchange rates to be used are stored.
This is due to the above factor. Would like to know where exactly base entity is getting selected.

Currency Translation

Hi,
We have different needs for the currency translation depending on the financial statement items an movement type.
So, we have defined 2 methods (and 2 tasks) all different.
They are different also in the exchange rate type for the reference translation.
That is, for example:
First method (task):
Exchange rate type for the reference translation (1003 - Historical exchange rate)
Step:
   Investment items
    and type of movement (100 u2013 beginning balance)
Specific translation:
u2022     Currency translation key: periodic
u2022     Exchange rate type: EURX (EMU regulation, variable exchange rates)
Item (Translation Difference):
Item (58200)
    Subitem (58201)
Second method (task)
Exchange rate type for the reference translation (1002 - Average exchange rate)
Step:
    Income statement items
Specific translation:
u2022     Currency translation key: periodic
u2022     Exchange rate type: EURX (EMU regulation, variable exchange rates)
Item (Translation Difference):
    Item (58200)
    Subitem (58202)
PROBLEM:
When we run the methods at consolidation monitor, the second task affects the result of the first task.
The result from the first task is correct.
When we run the second task, which is for income statement items (not this as the first one u2013 investments), System is creating a new step (a cumulative one), which is changing the Exchange rate type for the reference translation of this item; meaning is changing the previous correct values.
Why is this happening?

Thanks for your answer.
So, what you're saying is that I cannot have several Exchange rate type for the reference translation according to financial statement items/movement types?
I always have to have the same Exchange rate type for the reference translation for all the items/movement types?
Thanks for your help.
Best regards.

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...

Error while running FX restatement process for currency translation

Hi Experts,
I am facing errors while trying to run FX_Restatement process to do currency translation.
I am having the error: RUN_LOGIC:Member u201CXXXu201D not exist => where XXX is any currency I am trying to convert.
Below is the script logic (FXTRANS.LGF)used.
*RUN_PROGRAM CURR_CONVERSION
      CATEGORY     = %FX_CATEGORY_SET%
      CURRENCY     = %FX_INPCURRENCY_SET%
      TID_RA = %FX_TIME_SET%
      OTHER = [ENTITY=%FX_ENTITY_SET%]
      RATEENTITY = GLOBAL
      //For More than one other scope parameters: OTHER = [ENTITY=%FX_ENTITY_SET%;INTCO=%INTCO_SET%...]
*ENDRUN_PROGRAM
I am working on BPC 7.5 NW version.
Can you help us with this?

For the currency you are converting to: XXX
INPUTCURRENCY dimension must have XXX as a member with "REPORTING" property set to "Y"
and
RPTCURRENCY dimension must have XXX as a member with "REPORTING" property set to "Y" and "CURRENCY_TYPE" property set to "R"
It needs to be in both dimensions with the right properties. INPUTCURRENCY is the currency dimension in the RATE cube, RPTCURRENCY is the currency dimension in the financial or consolidations cube.

Change of Standard Currency Translation Logic

Hello everybody,
I need to achieve special goal to for a user request:
In a BPC planning application using version 5 MS I would like to import data from another data source and perform a currency translation from LC to RC. The application is NOT set-up as a YTD application, as the planners should be able to input data on a periodic basis (i.e. month). So the default currency tranlation would take the LC amount from one month and multiply it with the rate for this month giving the amount in RC.
I need to change the FX trans logic in a way that the LC amounts are summed up first and then the multiplication with the last FX rate is taken, i.e. similar to a YTD consolidation application. I do not want to change the existing appl into a YTD-appl as monthly input is needed.
Therefore I need to change the standard FX trans logic from, let's say, "multiply each monthLC value by FX rate and then build the YTD value" into "sum-up each month LC value giving YTD LC value and then multiply by FX rate of the last month".
Can I achieve that by tweaking the standard FX logic or do I need to set-up a certain FX Business Rule? Do I need a new measure ? How would the coding look like ?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
Wolfgang

Does nobody have an idea how to attack such a challenge ?

EC-CS-currency translation key 5 - Translation of each period at applicable

Hi,
When using translation key 5 (Translation of each period at applicable rate for the period) in our methods, for this to translate local currencies per period, do we have to run our currency translation methods EVERY period, or can we run it just once, say at year-end, and it will re-compute the group currency values for each period using applicable exchange rate for those periods?
For instance,
period 1: LC value = 100,
GC value = 150
period 3: LC value = 200
GC value = 300
No currency translation method is run at this point, the GC values are just given values.
If we decide to change the exchange rate for period 1 to 1LC = 2LC, and we run currency translation at year-end using translation key 5, will the system recompute the GC value in period 1 from 150 to 200?
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Peter

Hi Sudhir,
From the accounting point of view, the purpose of currency translation is basically to adjust the local currency into the group currency. I can say that, it's actually a "simplified" version of on-line paralel currenty as we have in on-line SAP R/3.
In your case, you said that there is no "off line companies" in the group. I assume that R/3 will be the 100 percent source of your consolidation system.
If your feeder system (FI, and probably CO), has been equiped with the paralel currency, then there's no need for you to activate the currency translation since the translated amount is there already in the paralel currency.
Hope can clarify.
regards,

Business rule ..currency translation..

In the currency translation business rule formula..what is AS-IS-1 refers to.
I understand AS-IS means historical rate.., but what is AS-IS -1 ?
What is the meaning of formula like...END u2013 AVG in business rule? Where it is used?
I have enough documents, links..appreciate your replies...

Hi Manilyer,
I dont know about AS-IS-1???but when it comes to END-AVG...there will some accounts in any consolidation like RESERVES,SHARECAPITAL which will be calculated at END and AVG rate means....
Lets take..Company "A" bought a 70% share in the Company "B" at a ratei.e AVG rate but when we are doing consolidation of accounts at Year end i.e "END" rate..then there will be diffrence in their consolidation..this called "FCTR" calculation...this is what END-AVG..and it will happen only few account's..
Hope you got my information...

Cons Units with diff LC and GC & Currency Translation.

Hello,
My question is regarding Currency Tanslation;
We have some cons units which has different LC and GC (Ex: EUR and USD). These cons units does not require currency translation in BCS as the group currency value coming from R/3 is already translated. If I do not include these cons units in the task the system is throwing an error in the monitor saying "Currency Trans Task cannnot be executed".
Is there a way I can configure in the method or task to ignore some cons units from Currency translation even though the local currency is different from group currency.
Thanks

Hi Anoop
Currency translation occur on LC. Check in the Cons unit master data regarding local currency and check in reported data which values are getting either LC or GC (Ex: EUR and USD)

Error in EC-CS - Currency Translation is Irrelevant

Has anyone seen this message? I have checked and as far as I can see, currency is set correctly. Please advise....
Task CrcyTrans is irrelevant or is being copied
Message no. G0256
Diagnosis
Task CrcyTrans is either irrelevant or is being copied from another version for the current org unit. Therefore, the task cannot be executed in the present version.
There is only one exception for source tasks with the type "Data Collection" which bear the task status "Being copied" (in the target version):
If the local currency of the respective consolidation unit differs from the ledger currency, the system permits supplementary changes to the additional financial data in the target version. In this case, you can also start the source task with the type "Data Collection" in update mode for the respective consolidation unit in the target version. Then the system permits subsequent entry of additional financial data.
Keep in mind that the status is not updated.

Hello -
The consolidation ledger currency (group currency, I assume) is USD. The Consol Unit in question is EUR.
I checked the currency translation settings in the consol unit. There are four other units in the group, all with various currencies, which are working fine. We have another unit in another group that is EUR and it is working fine. We just added this one. I have compared it to the unit in EUR that works but can't find any differences.

HTG on currency translation

Hi All,
Has anyone run across the HTG on "How to run Currency translation for Consolidatiion Application in BPC NW"? I see a couple of references to it in other HTGs, but I can't seem to find it on SDN or on the EPM How To Guides site.
Thanks,
Pam

Hi,
I was going to post a similar post and decided it would be more appropriate to add to this one.
I am sorry to be posting questions instead of providing a response to that which has already been asked!
Obviously there are 2 different HTGs based on the following...
In the guide How to do Currency Translation for Financial Application using SAP BusinessObjects Planning and Consolidation 7.0 for the SAP NetWeaver Platform.pdf
...it says...
Currency translation can basically run in two modes:
1. Reporting currency mode: where it converts transaction data recorded in local currency to
specified reporting currency
2. Group mode: where it converts subsidiariesu2019 data to Groupu2019s currency.
There are mandatory conditions listed below under the dimension properties session that should be
satisfied for the currency translation to run for any type of applications in reporting currency mode.
If you want to run currency translation in group mode, there are some extra conditions that are
needed. However this HTG will cover only the type of applications in reporting currency mode. Please
refer to the HTG on u201CHow To run Currency translation for Consolidation Application in BPC NWu201D to see
how to run in group mode.
Even though no one has responded yet as to where the HTG on u201CHow To run Currency translation for Consolidation Application in BPC NWu201D is at, I would like to ask anyone who may be able to help whether the "group mode" option is either optional or mandatory to implement legal consolidations in BPC? If it is required can anyone explain the difference between "reporting currency mode" vs. "group mode"? If it is optional why would one go with one option vs. the other?
Thanks in advance for any response

CTR (currency translation reserve) account calculating

Hello, colleagues!
We have met another issue:
When RU's currency not the same as reporting currency, equity historical change should be shown on account CTR (currency translation reserve) separately (according to IAS 27). We implemented rule, which perform it, but this rule should be applyed only for RU, which currency not the same as consolidation currency. How rule can distinquesh it? In other words, how FC can understand for what RUs CTR should be calculated through the proccess of consolidation, and who which RUs not?
Thanks!

First of all you have to forget the V# in your expressions on the context you are working. This is managed by the if statement. Second, what you do here means that you are done with translation and now you are in calculation at the <Parent Currency> level. So, you also forget Sub Translate, this will never work. A third problem I can see is that you should specify base members for C3 and C4 in the left side of your HS.Exp expression (it is not necessary to do the same in HS.Clear though).
Finally I have some doubts on the way you are trying to do this. You have two parent accounts A#BS400000 and A#BS899999, and you try to assign their difference in a descendant account. I'm not sure how this cyclic reference would work. However, it could work if BS500600 was not in any of the hierarchies of the above parents. Then the piece of code below could work.
If HS.Value.IsTransCur() Then
HS.Clear "A#BS500600.C1#[None].C2#C200185.I#[ICP None]"
HS.Exp "A#BS500600.C1#[None].C2#C200185.I#[ICP None].C3#[None].C4#[None] = A#BS400000.C1#AllCustom1.C2#AllCustom2.I#[ICP Top] " & _
" - A#BS899999.C1#AllCustom1.C2#AllCustom2.I#[ICP Top]"
End If
