Currency Conversion problem in query designer

Hi,
A requirement has come that infoobject which contain multiple currency type, need to convert into a single currency type in Bex reporting as user want to see only one currency value in report.
There are three keyfigures refering different calenders for conversion. For examle . GR amount is based on GR date, IR amount is based on IR date and PO amount is based on Doc date. Query is build based on a infoset.
I am doing following steps to achieve the task::
1. In TCODE - RSCUR, created three Currency Conversion Type each for GR, IR and PO and each one refering different 0calday calender
2. Defined exchange Rate Type as "M"
3. Currency Tab -> Source Currency = "Source Currency from data Record"
    Target Currency -> Fixed Target Currency = "USD"
4. Time Ref. Tab -> Fixed Time ref. = "Current Date"
    Variable time reference = "To the exact day"
    Special InfoObject = <InfoObject name>
5. In query designer, Key figure property for GR amount -> Conversion -> Conversion type = <Name of Currency Conversion Type which defined in RSCUR>
6. Repeated the same for IR Amount and PO Amount key figure
While saving, getting following error::
*Cannot apply Currency translation type <Currency type name> in Infocube <Infoset name>. *
Diagnosis
You tried to translate a query element with the currency translation type <Currency type name>. The translation type <Currency type name>, however, has variable time reference or variable target currency relevant to characteristic Document Date. Characteristic Document Date is also not available in InfoProvider <Infoset name> and it references either none or more than one characteristic () of the InfoProvider for Document Date, or Document Date is not a base characteristic.
System Response
Procedure
Adjust the query definition or create a special currency translation type for one of the characteristics .
Please help!
Please note that there are three key figures which need conversion using different calenders.

Hello,
I have done the same what you said, but same error still showing....
I also tried to change from "Special InfoObject" to Infoset level and it works with one KF. Since all three KF are under one Infoset and there is limitation that if Currency Conversion Type is defined on Infoset level then only one KF will be assigned for a Infoset where as I am using three KFs with three relevant time characteristic.
Any suggesion from others?

Currency conversion in the query designer level

Hi
Iam calculating the 'Financial Loss' in the Formula in the query designer.And it comes in SAR(Saudi Riyals).
But i want the 'Financial Loss' in USD in the Query Designer. Because i want the USD Financial Loss to be use in some other calculation.
Please let me know how can we do this one in the query designer. I really appreciate for it .
Regards
Kumar

Dear Ravi,
Basically there are 2 ways to do it: routine & query level.
If query level, you need to maintain it first using tcode RRC1, then you use it in your KF in your query. .
Routine level,
You can create new KF in info-provider, then in the update rules routine, you can use this function to convert the currency :
CONVERT_TO_LOCAL_CURRENCY
Hopefully it can help you a lot.

Niel
thanks for any points you choose to assign.

Hi Vishal,
1) Try to remove the addin and then add again.(Before doing this close all the excel process from the task Manager)
2) Check weather essexcln.xll and essxleqd.xla are corrupted.

Currency Conversion terminates the query execution

Hi friends,
When I execute a query it terminates due to the following error in currency conversion. "Abort System error in program CL_RSR_RRK0_CURR and form FILL_CUDIM_02-04 (see".
conversion works fine and gives correct values in target currency when the source currency is say thailand bhat, malaysian ringett, philippino peso etc.., but when i use the source currencies of zimbabwe or kenya i get this error and next the query terminates.
Can any one of you suggest me what could be the problem. How do i systemtically approach to solve this problem.
Thanks
Raj

Hi Serjio
All the currencies mentioned currencies are available in the TCURR table including the exchange rates from those currencies to USD.
Hi Sven,
I am sorry, I really didnot understand when you say "set the flag for protocol to X". You may throw more light on this. I tried debugging the program RSW_CUR_TRANSLATION_RATE_GET in the past step-by-step. This leads to lots of other programs and i was really lost in them. Pls guide me to debug it effectively.
Hi Serjio/Sven,
Further, i missed out to mention the following details in my post. We have two version of a this COPA query. One is older and the other is newer. Both were created before we upgraded from 3.1C to NW2004s.
The older version works fine. The conversion from source to target currencies is good for the african currencies also besides the asia-pacific (AP) currencies. However, the newer version throws out the error message i have mentioned in the post for african currencies but works fine for asia-pacific currencies. Even the newer version was working fine before we upgraded from 3.1C to NW2004s. Its only after the upgrade that we are encountering this problem.
In the query we are also converting the data to SGD (singapore dollar), besides USD. As i donot require this data i have hided the values in SGD. As a reason we have never maintained conversion rates/factors for converion from any of the AP or African currencies to SGD. Due to these missing rates I get an Information message to maintain the conversion rates/conversion factors for AP/African curr to SGD. This message appears along with the error message(mentioned in my post) on the same screen. This information message also appears for the older version of my query, which is currently giving correct $values. But I think we can ignore this message. Else do you think, in some way these missing rates are responsible for the trouble??.
But more surprisingly why is that the older version is not impacted by the upgrade while the newer is affected?
Pls share your views
Thanks

Sorting Currency conversion Variables in Query Selection screen

Hi Experts,
I have an issue in sorting variables.
A Currency translation is used here which has two selection options here, one for "Currency" and one for "Currency conversion date". They just pop in somewhere in the selection screen with out order. I want to put them together either in the middle or at the bottom.
They are not visible in the Variable sequence tab of query properties.
I changed the text for each of them (Ex. "XCurrency"), so that it sorts alphabetically, but no difference.
Had anybody come accross this issue before.
regards
G Rai

Hi,
This seems strange that the variable does not show in the query properties. One thing I can suggest it to try changing the technical name/desciption of the variable if that changes the order.
Please update back the thread if that helps.

Currency conversion in a query.

Hi,
I have a requirement where I need to give the facility of currency conversion of some of the key figures in a query.
There is no key date specified in the Functional specs based on which I can create the currency conversion thing.
What I want to know
1)Is there any other way we can do currency conversion if we dont have a Key date.
2)Also is it essential to restrict all the key figures which require currency conversion with the key date variables.
If we don't restrict the key figures will the currency conversion thing be still valid.
Please advise.
Kind Regards,
Kate.

Kate,

Problem in Query Designer Tool Bar

Hi
In BI 7.0, Query Designer Tool Bar unable to see Table View. Is their any patch problem ?.
Thanks in advance
Mahesh.

OSS note: 1002271.
Reason and Prerequisites
After much discussion we have decided
not to include the table mode in BI 7.0.
Solution
There is (in our opinion) a better alternative to the table view:
Create a query with only one structure and use
Report Designer to design your own table view. This allows you
to arrange the columns and many other
formatting and grouping options as you wish.

Currency Conversion Problem

Hi frndz,
I am facing a problem with the currency conversion.
In my Report i have used two keyfgures.
One is directly calculating the values from R/3 side and converting into EURO.
the other one is calculating through update rule.
These teo keyfigures should have the same value.
In this update rule i have used one function module "Convert into foreign currency".
This function module is calculating the value correct for all other currency only in Korean(KRW)currency i am getting probelm.
Like R/3 side value converting in EURO in coming as
507.35
and through function module value is coming as 50,736.00.
Please if any one having this problem or any one could suggest some solution then it would be great help.
I have also tried the solution of deleting the values from SPRO but still the problem is there.
Thanks in advance

Revab,
The admin may delete the record for KRW from TCURX table.
BUT, it may affect the other applications. It should be carefully considered.
Though, after deletion end users may check if theirs applications results with regard to KRW have been changed.
If yes, then the record in TCURX may be added again.
If not, then it might be a solution. Though, not recommended.
Best regards,
Eugene

Problem with Query designing

Hi All,
I had created a query and started designing a crystal report.
But after designing the report, i came to know that some infoobjects are missing in the query.
So i went to query designer and added the corresponding infoobjects inorder, they could reflect while designing my crystal report.
But when i have reopened the report the field explorer is not showing the infoobjects which i have added newly.
In crystal reports what is the way to obtain those objects which are newly added to the query.
Even i have refreshed the field explorer many times but still it is not showing the updated objects.
But if i go creating a new report on the same query, there it is showing the added objects as well.
Only for the new report i could able to see the newly added objects in field explorer but not for the old report.
Please let me know the solution for this problem ASAP.
Best Regards
Jiten

Jiten,
i think if you click Database--->Verify Database and also try Set datasource location -
>Update.
this should do the trick.

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.

Problem in query designer

hi all,
i am trying to execute the query in query designer it opening a portal screen and it asking for user id and password
after entering user id and password i can able to see the loading icon finally i getting the blank screen ..
instead of selection sceen can any one help on this...
Thanks
siva R

Siva,
This is your Portal issue then Contact Basis team for this or Try these:
1. IE security trusted site settings.
2. Have basis restart the server and login.
Strange things like this occur when the DB is full or DB log is full.
Check if your database is not full, that means you should check the LogArea and DataArea.
If any of them are full, then your jstart fails to start.
If LogArea full -- Set the Log Automatic Overwrite to ON
If DataArea full -- Add new disk volume.

Judging from the error message, I'd suspect that IIS is trying to use some authentication service for the user. Are you using something like a "single sign-on" (Windows NT native authentication, NDS authentication, etc.?
As a test, you could try downloading the Oracle OLEDB driver to see if that solves the problem.
Unfortunately, nothing jumps out at me here as obviously wrong or an obvious path to getting this working.

*Problem in Query Designer using Infoset

Hi,
I'm having an Infoset that I'm creating a quey against.
The query works fine with a few characteristics and keyfigures.
But sometimes i got the following error messages when adding another characteristics or keyfigure:
Operand data type varchar is invalid for sum opera tor.Operand data type varchar is invalid for sum o perator.
Notification Number RSQBW 000
Error when generating the SQL statement
Notification Number RSQBW 804
DBMAN 305
BRAIN 289
Can anyone help me, please?
Thanks,
Ingmarie Gärdströ

It sounds as if the Key Figure that you added to your query has been defined underlying RDBMS (e.g. Oracle) for your BW system as an alphanumeric (VARCHAR) and since the data isn't defined as being numeric, it can't sum the data. This might also be caused by an known problem the BW application and there may be an OSS Note, or more than one, that resolves this issue.
