Currency convertion in 11.1.1.1

Hi ,
We are using 11.1.1.1 planning. In our multi currency application we have entity each entity assigned to one currency. we have defined exchange rates in planning application we gave the name currency rates to the table.
we also assigned this table to scenario.
when we enter data in functional currency for perticular entity and then we saved the data in functional currency. when we changed the currency in drop down to USD and also we ran the business rule that given by the planning tool. its not converting data.
Iam just confused where i missed and what i missedto work the currency convertion as i expected.
I really appreciate your help.
Thanks,

Have you done a retrieve (using the spreadsheet add-in) from Essbase to verify that the exchange rates were pushed to the cube?
This retrieve can be a bit confusing, because Hyperion Planning actually stores these rates at upper levels in some dimensions. You'll want to retrieve on:
- Currency (the top member from the dimension)
- Version (the top member from the dimension)
- Entity (the top member from the dimension)
- Any other custom dimensions (the top member from the dimension)
- Budget (or forecast, or whatever specific scenario you're referencing)
- HSP_Rate_USD (or whatever specific currency you're reviewing)
- HSP_Ending (or whatever specific rate type you want to review)
I would recommend doing this retrieve directly against Essbase, and making sure you see some rates in the cube.
Hope this helps,
- Jake

I want to restore my home page the way it was before I downloaded Firefox 4 which destroyed my home page features (news, currency converter, horoscope, weather etc.) so I deleted Firefox 4 and re-installed Firefox 3.6.17.

The look of my home page was perfect with Firefox 3.6.17. I had a strip of whales breaching around the Google logo. Underneath I had all kinds of wonderful things (I forget what they're called) on the page which was divided into sections: weather, CNN, Reuters, currency converter, Rick Levine's daily horoscope, health tip of the day etc. I promptly removed FF4 because my home page was totally ruined and I can't figure out how to restore all these wonderful easy features. Could you kindly help me or has FF totally changed the entire home page layout and I shall never be able to restore them. I have saved a copy of my Profile on my USB stick. I have a MacBook OSX 10.5.8. Sincerely, Myrna Goldstein

I, too had my book marks disappear when I upgraded to FF 4.0
I am now back and enjoying FF 3.6.17 (my original) yet I am still
without my book marks and am floundering trying to recoup.
Any help appreciated. If unable to see my book marks in the near
future I will definitely jump ship. It's too bad that FF people have
created this problem. I am mystified and disgusted with their actions.

Only ConverterServlet.class is in the APPS directory from the currency converter sample?

I have this problem, the deploytool won't extract files to iPlanet/ias6/ias/APPS directory when I deploy my bean which I intent to use rich client to access and has no web application. Today I took someone's advice and deployed the currency converter sample and found out only the ConverterServlet.class was extracted in my APPS/j2eeguide/converter folder. It is really strange as only the web application file was extracted. I am using AIX Unix with iAS 6.0 SP1 installed. I check the ksvradmin and kregedit and all is there. Please help.

Hi, I don't know what the necessary patches are but I tried to deploy currency converter sample on my laptop which has iPlanet installed. The folders of ejb and servlet are there in the APPS. I upload the very ear file on my laptop to the AIX and then use j2eeappreg to deploy it. Guess what, no luck. Can I be sure that it is the problem of the AIX? I didn't set up the AIX enviroment so I will have to consult others if it is the AIX enviroment.

Dynamic currency converter

I am following the guide provided
HERE to build a currency converter. The static converter works very fine, but I am having issue while building dynamic version of it.
Basically, I have designed it as below:
1) Data flow task: Uses a sql query to get a distinct list of all the currencies being used in the fact table and store into a recordset object 'ObjCurrency'
2) Foreach loop container:
Iterates through all the values in 'ObjCurrency' and each value gets stored in CurrencyCode
2.1) Script task: A message box is used to show the current currency code
2.2) Web service task: As stated in the above guide, I am sending the CurrencyCode variable as a 'FromCurrency' and 'USD' is my 'ToCurrency' to get a dynamic WSDL for every CurrencyCode
2.3) XML task: Used to get 'ConversionRateResponse'
2.4) ScriptTask1: A message box is used to show the current ConversionRateResponse
I am getting an error at 2.2 and the error is:
[Web Service Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.WebServiceTask.WebserviceTaskException: Could not execute the Web method. The error is: Method 'ProxyNamespace.CurrencyConvertor.ConversionRate'
not found..
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.WebServiceTask.WebMethodInvokerProxy.InvokeMethod(DTSWebMethodInfo methodInfo, String serviceName, Object connection)
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.WebServiceTask.WebServiceTaskUtil.Invoke(DTSWebMethodInfo methodInfo, String serviceName, Object connection, VariableDispenser taskVariableDispenser)
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.WebServiceTask.WebServiceTask.executeThread()".
Can someone please help me with this?
Thank you in advance.

Hi rockstar283,
Based on my research, the issue always caused by the data type of input variable mismatch for the Web Service. For example, the input type for web service is String, the variable was of type Object. Obviously SSIS Web Service Task will not implicitly do
a .toString() call on the input variable. So the issue occurs.
To fix this issue, please change the type of the variable. For more details, please refer to the following similar thread:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/1073ad37-ed05-4ab4-85e3-689e1cd17a68/ssis-web-service-task-error-with-wcf-service

Currency Converter doesn't have all

Currency Converter widget works with Yahoo. I checked yahoo currency converter service, thay have a lot of currencies. But apple widget doesn't have.
Why, and how can I add others.

The way to do it is to go to news feed, this has your online contacts on the right hand side, when in panorama.

Building a basic Currency Converter

Hi, I am trying to build a pounds to euro, euro to pounds currency converter. The user enters the current exchange rate, what they want to convert and how much. I am trying to use a main class as a command line interface and a class to do the maths. My problem is trying to get them working together as I'm not great with classes. This is what I have so far... the problem is with the Converter converter = new Converter(); line. If I hover over the error symbol in Netbeans it says 'Cannot find symbol'.
package Assignment1;
import java.util.Scanner;
* @author Aaron
public class Interface {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
        Converter converter = new Converter();
        double exchangeRate;
        int convertOption;
        double amount = 0;
        System.out.println("Welcome to the Currency Converter!");
        System.out.println("Please enter the current exchange rate for " +
                "Pounds to Euros");
        exchangeRate = scan.nextDouble();
        System.out.println("Convert Pounds to Euros (1) or Euros to Pounds" +
                "(2)");
        convertOption = scan.nextInt();
        while (convertOption == 1 || convertOption == 2) {
            System.out.println("How much would you like to convert?");
            amount = scan.nextDouble();
        if (convertOption == 1) {
            amount = converter.poundToEuro(exchangeRate, amount);
            System.out.println("" + amount);
        if (convertOption == 2) {
            amount = converter.euroToPound(exchangeRate, amount);
            System.out.println("" + amount);
        if (convertOption != 1 || convertOption != 2) {
            System.out.println("Not a valid option. Please re-run the " +
                    "program.");
package Assignment1;
* @author Aaron
public class Converter {
    private double exchangeRate;
    private double amount;
    private double result;
    public Converter(double exchangeRate, double amount, double result) {
        this.exchangeRate = exchangeRate;
        this.amount = amount;
        this.result = result;
    public double poundToEuro(double exchangeRate, double amount) {
        result = amount * exchangeRate;
        return result;
    public double euroToPound(double exchangeRate, double amount) {
        result = amount / exchangeRate;
        return result;
}

By the way:
There's absolutely no need to do the string appending here:
            System.out.println("" + amount);Creating a field to hold values to return from methods is unnecessary and poor form; just make them local variables:
public class Converter {
    private double result;
    public double poundToEuro(double exchangeRate, double amount) {
        result = amount * exchangeRate;
        return result;
    }I second the suggestion not to name your class "Interface". It's syntactically OK (because the keyword is lower-case) but it's still confusing.

How to add currency converter icon to toolbar

Does firefox 5 have an icon for currency converter? How do I add a currency converter to a toolbar?

Hi,
You can enable currency in the reporting output using following steps:
Query properties> Display> select Display scaling factors for key figures.
but using this option currency($) will be displayed after the amount. it means key figure values will be displayed like 300$, 800$.
hope it helps..

Currency convertion from SKK to EURO

HI Friends
A country is joining the Euro area on a particular date. we wish to change the currency customizing to reflect this change. For example, Slovenkia is planning on joining the Euro area from 01.01.2009.
so we wish to change from the existing currency to Euro in the BW System .
Anybody can give some suggestions and necessery steps for that.
ANY THING AND EVERY THING WILL BE REWARDABLE
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
exchange rate here is how one currency converted to another currency at certain date, e.g 06.07.2007 1 USD = 41 INR ...
http://www.x-rates.com/d/INR/table.html
in sap system (r/3, bw, ..) it's maintained in table TCUR*, for BW normally it's transferred from r/3 via rsa1->transfer exchange rates, and the update scheduled periodically.
or you can upload the exchange rate via flat file

BT Yahoo Currency Converter problem

On my home page, the BT Yahoo Currency converter table has stopped populating the table with data. Now just shows an empty table. Used to work fine. Any explanation regarding why this has happened and how I can fix it?

Hi Frankah,
Thanks for the message and welcome to the forum. I can try and find out why this has happened. Has this change only only recently happened? Have you changed anything on your Homepage?
Cheers

Is currency convertion rules mandatory

hi friends,
am trying to acheive currnecy convertion i am using standard application set 'Appshell' i have no 'currency convertion rules' in application 'Finance'. But i have manitained the script logic under app 'Finance'. I have gone through some docu in which some says to maitain 'currency convertion rules' and others had not discussed about 'currency convertion rules' .
Please guide me whether to maitain the same or not.
My Objective is to perform the simple currency traslation.
thanks

As a designer of BPC applications, you may choose either to utilize the Business Rules or utilize the Script logic process. Either way is fine and they both work on the same basic premise, enter RATES to input currencies in the RATE app, and convert the LC values associated to each ENTITY member to the ENTITY defined property of CURRENCY, for those REPORTING currenies defined in the app, such as FINANCE. I don't think there is a right or wrong way, since each work, but may require additional settings and design for the more complex translations.
Hope this helps.

Currency Converter Help

Hey I am making a java program to convert from certian currency types to another. It reads from a file w the rates .. and all currency types are 2 words long.. such as Japanese Yen, American Dollar, and so on. Now heres the code.
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;
public class CurrencyConverter{
    public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException{
        try{
            // Importing file with rates
            Scanner console = new Scanner(new File("rates.txt"));
            String s = "y";
            while(s.equalsIgnoreCase("y") || s.equalsIgnoreCase("yes")){
                // Declaring variables
                String[] currency = new String[6];
                double[] rate = new double[6];
                int i = 0;
                // List currency types able to be converted
                System.out.println("Currency types available for conversions:");
                while(console.hasNextLine()){
                    String line = console.nextLine();
                    Scanner data = new Scanner(line);
                    currency[i] = data.next() + " " + data.next();
                    System.out.println(currency);
rate[i] = data.nextDouble();
i++;
// Input currency type we are converting from and to
System.out.println("Please enter the currency you wish to convert from:");
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
String cfrom = input.nextLine();
System.out.println("Please enter the currency you wish to convert to:");
String cto = input.nextLine();
// Input amount of currency
System.out.println("And how much of " + cfrom + "s are we converting to " + cto + "s?");
double amount = input.nextDouble();
// Calculate
int j = 0;
while(! cfrom.equalsIgnoreCase(currency[j])){
j++;
int k = 0;
while(! cto.equalsIgnoreCase(currency[k])){
k++;
double adollars = amount / rate[j];
double total = adollars * rate[k];
// format for numbers
DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("#.##");
System.out.println((df.format(amount)) + " " + cfrom + "s equal " + (df.format(total)) + " " + cto + "s.");
System.out.println();
System.out.println("Would you like to make another converstion?");
Scanner input2 = new Scanner(System.in);
s = input2.nextLine();
System.out.println();
console.close();
}catch (Exception e){
System.out.println("Invalid Entry. Please make sure you are entering the correct currency and");
System.out.println("and a numeric value for the amount.");
The program just feels really wrong to me. What I really have problems with is using the Try/Catch .. I would really like to be able to have them re enter a currency type or amount instead of it going to the catch and ending the program if one is wrong. Also I am not 100% sure about my formating to double decimals on the output.
Well thos are my 2 biggest concerns atm. Any advice even if its about something I didnt mention would be helpful. Just wanna polish this up a little and make it feel correct. Thanks.

What I really have problems with is using the Try/Catch Yep.
You "expect" that to happen.
Thus it is not exceptional.
Put the try catch around the parsing code only. On exit from there you will either have a valid value
or you ask the user to try again.
Also I am not 100% sure about my formating to double decimals on the output. Try it.
Additionally note that generally (maybe always) you would not normally use a floating point type
for money. Instead either use an integer type or the class BigDecimal.
Floating point types can lose bits which in business represents real money.

Currency convert

Hi,
i have a doubt. the value of currency(1,649.20) in excel file. how can we convert in to number(1649.20) into internal table.how can we write the code for this in abap program. pls, anybody send me the reply ASAP..
Thanks & Regards,

Hi this will work 4 u.
Currency Conversion:
Use the function module
CONVERT_TO_LOCAL_CURRENCY
Writing currency amount to string without thousands seperator
This is usefull e.g. i connection with batch input/call transaction.
GI_OUTPUT-WRBTR: Field type Currency with amount
L_AMOUNT_STRING: Field type c with amount
PERFORM AMOUNT_TO_STRING USING GI_OUTPUT-WRBTR
CHANGING L_AMOUNT_STRING.
FORM AMOUNT_TO_STRING USING P_AMOUNT
CHANGING P_AMOUNT_STRING.
DATA L_SEP(1) TYPE C.
PERFORM GET_THOUSAND_SEPERATOR USING L_SEP.
WRITE P_AMOUNT TO P_AMOUNT_STRING.
REPLACE L_SEP WITH ' ' INTO P_AMOUNT_STRING.
CONDENSE P_AMOUNT_STRING NO-GAPS.
WRITE P_AMOUNT_STRING TO P_AMOUNT_STRING RIGHT-JUSTIFIED.
ENDFORM.
FORM GET_THOUSAND_SEPERATOR USING P_SEP.
DATA: L_AMOUNT LIKE BSEG-DMBTR,
L_AMOUNT_STRING(15) TYPE C.
Find 1000 seperator. If decimal seperator = . then
1000 seperator = , else 1000 seperator = .
L_AMOUNT = '1.00'.
WRITE L_AMOUNT TO L_AMOUNT_STRING.
IF L_AMOUNT_STRING CS ','.
P_SEP = '.'.
ELSE.
P_SEP = ','.
ENDIF.
ENDFORM.
Convert amount to/from string
CALL FUNCTION 'HRCM_AMOUNT_TO_STRING_CONVERT'
EXPORTING
betrg = 3000
WAERS = 'DKK'
NEW_DECIMAL_SEPARATOR =
NEW_THOUSANDS_SEPARATOR =
IMPORTING
STRING = slam
CALL FUNCTION 'HRCM_STRING_TO_AMOUNT_CONVERT'
EXPORTING
string = slam2
DECIMAL_SEPARATOR = '.'
THOUSANDS_SEPARATOR =
WAERS = 'HUF'

BETRG = b2
EXCEPTIONS
CONVERT_ERROR = 1
OTHERS = 2
Language depending formatting
To format a currency amount with decimals according to the currency use
WRITE and the CURRENCY option.
Currency keys an d numbers of decimals are defined in table TCURX Decimal
Places in Currencies.
E.G.
Formatting an amount in Kuwatian Dinars:
Dmbtr = 123456.
Write dmbtr currency 'KUD'
123.456
Write dmbtr currency 'USD'
1234.56
Note that the formatting does not depend on the number of decimals in the
number in the program.
Dmbtr = '12.3456'.
Write dmbtr currency 'USD'
1234.56
To format the decimal and thousand sepearators according to the settings for
a specific country,
use the statement SET COUNTRY <country key>
Settings for countries are defined in table T005 Countries.
The country key used in the statement is field LAND1
E.g.
set country 'US'

Currency converting from reporting to functional

Hi,
we have loaded history data in USD. is there any way we can convert that data to functional currency associated to entity.
Please sugest me.
Thanks,
Nagendra.

Hi,
I think the input currency for the entity in question is not USD. And I also assume that USD is the reporting currency for your application.
If you make a copy of the currency conversion rule(s) created by planning and modify them as per your requirement, or if you write your own business rule, you can convert reporting currency data back to input currency data.
