Copying of the currency translation methods

Hello All,
is there a way to copy the currency translation methods inclusive all steps in the workbench?
The problem is that we want to use the same currency translation methods for the currency simulation as for the normal currency translation. The only difference should be the determination of the exchange rate ("Exchange rate type" for the currency simulation vs. "Exchange rate indicator" for the normal currency translation). We have over 40 method steps in each CT method and creating of the new CT methods with the same structure as in existing CT methods would be a pretty extensive job ;(
Could you suggest a way we can solve this problem? (referencing of the existing CT methods with the substitution of the determination of the exchange rate would be an ideal solution, but i am afraid it is not possible ...).
Many thanks in advance,
Kirill

Hello Mani,
i would create the new CT task for the currency simulation and define the copied CT methods in it's definition. Therefore i will have 2 different CT tasks , one for the currency translation, the another for the currency simulation.
I would willingly avoid copying of the CT methods, by reason that i have to change both in the future in order to have the same functionality for the currency translation and currency simulation, but i feel it is not possible to avoid this
Thank you,
Kirill

Add new characteristic in the currency translation method

Hi All,
I would like to know if it's possible to add a characteristic in the currency translation method in order to use it in the exchange rate determination.
Currently the available characteristic are: Country, Segment, Cons. Group, Profit Center, Company, Trading Partner, Investees, Document Type, Posting Level, Translation Indicator and Local Currency.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards
João Anastácio

One way to accomplish this is to change the method layout to explicitly include the desired characteristic. Another is to make the characteristic in the breakdown category for the items where it is to be included.

Can I run the currency translation for multiple years at the same time?

Dear Friends,
I set up currency translation on our BPC NW 7.0 system and it is working fine ONLY if I run it for any one year at a time. But if I select multiple years in the data package (FX Restatment) selection it only calculates for the first year in that selection.
say if I run the data package for years: 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, it only performs currency translation for the year 2009.
Can I run the currency translation for multiple years at the same time ?
Note: The year is determined from the YEAR property of the "Time" dimension
appreciate any inputs,
thanks

You can run currency translation for multiple years.
I think the problem it is actually related to how you are sending the parameter to currency translation script.
Just review the script logic log and you will see with what parameters was called currency translation FXTrans.
My expectation is that actually the script is called just with first year and that's the problem.
Log of script logic you can find it into:
C:\BPC|DATA\Webfolder\YourAppset\YourApplication\Private Publications\Users used to run logic\Temp

While executing certain queries for CRM Sales I am getting this error "The currency translation type 0MEANDAILY is not available in the system" I have looked and haven't found this info object in the Business content.
Any help?
Thanks
Arunava

Dinesh,
If I do a transfer Global setting from RSA1 on my CRM system there are four to choose from
1> Currency
2> unit of measurement
3> Fiscal year variant
4> Factory calander
Which should be chosen..?? for the 0MEANDAILY . From Anurag's post it's evident that this is a part of the BC and being an info object it's not populated by transferring Global data. Please explain
Anurag,
Can you please be a little more specific .. I am in the rsa1--> bc Then what.. How do I search? I searched against the infoobjects and this is not available

Can any tell me how to do the currency translation 0LOC_CURRCY to 0Order_cu

Hi All,
Currently the keyfigures are displayed in the local currency in the report level. But in the report the business people also like to see these keyfigures in the Order currency currency EG 0INVCD_AMNT is having currency 0LOC_CURRCY but in the queries should also be displayed in 0Order_curr.
Probably conversion can be done on base of * znetprice_CC/0netprice.
Can any tell me how to do the currency translation 0LOC_CURRCY to 0Order_curr.
Thanks & Regards,
Venkat

BPC NW10.0 Execute the currency translation in DEFAULT.LGF

Hello,
I would like to execute the task currency translation in DEFAULT.LGF
Nb : we used the DEFAULT.LGF when we import the actual and budget data with Excel file (.csv)
I created the DEFAULT.LGF and inserted the following rows:
*XDIM_MEMBERSET CATEGORY=%CATEGORY_SET%
*XDIM_MEMBERSET RPTCURRENCY=LC
*XDIM_MEMBERSET TIME=%TIME_SET%
*XDIM_MEMBERSET DATASRC=INPUT
* INCLUDE FXTRANS.LGF
But, not currency translation when we import the actual and budget data
Nb : When I execute FXTRANS.LGF (FX_STATEMENT), it's OK , the system created the new records for translation currency
Best regards

Error on the currency translation

Hi experts,
I get the next error on the execution of the FX Restament package:
RUN CURRENCY CONVERSION
3 SUBMITTED, 0 SUCCESS, 3 FAIL.
MESSAGE FROM DOING CURRENCY_CONVERSION
Member () of dimension (ENTITY) is not a valid member
Member () of dimension (ENTITY) is not a valid member
Member () of dimension (ENTITY) is not a valid member
Why the script return a error when i am entering a valid member entity on the variable of the package?
What are the values that the FX Restatement package needs on these varialbles?
ENTITY: I enter a valid member of entity dimension
CATEGORY: i enter actual
GROUPS: i enter a valid member of the dimension. the group contain the entity i have enter on the first variable
TIME: valid member of time dimension
Thank you in advance.
Regards.

Problem solved,
We have changed the parameter name GROUPS for the parameter CURRENCY on the script logic for the C/T.

SEM-BCS Duplicate posting of currency translations

Dear BCS Gurus:
During the Testing Run of the Total Records, the following error is noticed:
The system automatically posts the currency differences to the clearing accounts defined under Items> Selected Items> Clearing B/S and I/S accounts.
The posting also occurs in the currency transalation account specified in the translation difference tab in the currency translation --> Method. It is, thus, posted twice. The client does not want the clearing posting which is created by the system. Is there a way to solve this problem? If so, let me know.
I appreciate your time.
Thanks.

Currency Translation at the Web Template level (standard functionality)

Hi Experts ,
We are currently working in BI 7.0 env. with source system ECC 5.0.
We are working for a task where we need to make the BEx queries enabled for currency translation .
The requirement is :-
The user should be enable to give/opt/choose for the follwoing options:-
Currency type (target currency in which the translation is aimed)
Exchange Rate ( Standard(M) or other(P) or something else) and
Key date: The translation will be performed taking the exchange rate on that particular date.
We do have 2 option to perform the task...
1:- Either we do it thru currency translation type definition(RSCUR) and then attaching this currency translation for every amount key figure values at each query level. OR
2:- If we can go and find something at the Web Template level and add/modify the template in such a way so that it gives us the functionality to translate a source currency into a desired one with desired exchange rate type (currently either M or P) and for a specific date.
At this point of time when we do have numerous sub-areas holding hundreds of queries, we want something which should be available as the modification/addition to standard functionality at the web template level and not at the query level as changing each and every one of them and testing would be a cumbersome process and would be costly and risky at the same time. So we are just wondering if we can find something with option no. 2 and add/modify something in the standard functionality.
Please ask for any more information required.
Thanks very much.
regds.

Hi Amit,
You would still need to define the Currency Translation using RSCUR where you would specify
-the exchange rate type (either fixed or variable)
-the target currency (either fixed or variable)
-the reference date
You don't need to modify any of your queries. You can instead use 'Translate Currency'/[SET_CURRENCY_TRANSLATION] command in WAD & specify the Currency Translation as defined in RSCUR. If you want the target currency & exchange rate type to be driven by user input, you can define these as variables in RSCUR & invoke the variable screen using 'OPEN_VARIABLE_DIALOG' in WAD for user input just before calling 'SET_CURRENCY_TRANSLATION' command.

Currency Translation based on Last Day of the Acquistion month

Dear all,
Request to help me in understanding how we can calculate the currency translation rate as per the last day if the acquistion month..
For Example if the Acquistion date : 01/01/2008 (mm/dd/yyyy) the currency translation should happend based on the rate maintained as on 31/01/2008.
Thanks
Pavan Kumar Prakhya

First, you will need to convert the actual acquisition date to the end date of the Fiscal Period. This can be done by using two separate Function Modules. First, get the actual Fiscal Period by entering the date and Fiscal Year Variant into the DATE_TO_PERIOD_CONVERT Function Module. Use the Fiscal Year and Fiscal Period from this and determine the end date of the Fiscal Period by using Function Module LAST_DAY_IN_PERIOD_GET with Fiscal Year, Fiscal Period and Fiscal Year Variant as your inputs.
For the conversion, use the Function Module CONVERT_TO_LOCAL_CURRENCY. The inputs for this would be the last date of the Fiscal Period, the amount to be converted, the from currency code, the to currency code, blank in rate, AS01 in type of rate and X in read TCURR. This assumes, however, that month-end rates (rate type = AS01) have been loaded into your source system and these rates have been transferred to your BW environment.

Currency translation taking more time at first time in the report

Hi All,
Here is an issue regarding the currency translation in the report. when we click on the currency translation from the contaxt menu on the report, its taking more time for the first time to get the selection options. But it is fast from the second time onwards. It will be not user friendly if its takes more time for the first time. Is there any way to fast up the processing time for the first time when i go for the "currency translation" option at report level for the first time.
let me know why it takes more time for the first time when we go for this option at report level.
Thanks,
Jack

Once again from the top.
This is undoubtedly not a database issue.
I doubt you can fix it in the database.
You can, however, spend a lot of hours asking questions and poking around if you are a consultant paid by the hour.
But as long as you are looking for something to do here are some that won't fix the problem but may be worth a few minutes of your time.
WHERE 1 = 1Are you kidding? Drop this nonsense. The Oracle optimizer is not brain dead. If it were my database I would also drop the parallel hint like a bad habit.
/*+ parallel(rp1, 8) */Again the Oracle optimizer is not brain dead. Ask for parallel threads that don't exist and the database will just queue your SQL and let it sit there until sufficient resources become available.

Currency translation type 0CMCALDAY is not available in the system

Use of BAdi UC_CTR_XRPROC in Currency Translation

Hi All,
Has anyone experience of the BAdi for determining Exchange Rate in BCS?
In BCS you have the option of customising the Procedure for Exchange Rate Determination by using a Badi, my current client has configured a custom one but I can't view the configuration (due to authorisation frustrations), so I can see that something has been selected but can't see what it is.
Selected Info from SAP BCS help:
You can create additional procedures for exchange rate determination in the customer namespace. The custom procedures, along with the standard procedures, are offered for selection in Customizing of currency translation methods.
If you specify a parameter when creating a procedure for exchange rate determination, this parameter is also offered for selection when the procedure is listed.
At the time of execution, whenever a custom procedure for exchange rate determination is encountered, the system calls the Business Add-In for exchange rate determination ( UC_CTR_XRPROC). There you can freely determine the exchange rate for each data record being translated.
Also:
The E/R determination procedure is the second-last step for determining the value in target currency. (The last step is the currency translation procedure, for which there is also another Business Add-In, UC_CTR_CTPROC.) At this point, the data records to be translated are accessible, and the date of exchange rate determination is known.
All help will be much appreciated

Thanks Eugene,
it appears to have been implemented at one of my current clients but I can't work out what it's doing.
An old, incomplete configuration document indicates that they were trying to stop the GC figure being updated unless Currency Translation Indicator <> 0 (ie RFD record is not updated by Currency Translation task, GC values are only posted to new records with CT Indicator >0)

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.
