Currency Keys

Hi,
I want to know the exact difference between 0LOC_CURRCY (Local Currency) and 0CURRENCY (Currency Key). Can I use 0LOC_CURRCY in plcae of 0CURRENCY? If not please let me know in detail. When I searched for 0LOC_CURRCY in BW i was not able to find it but still I can map it to the field WAERS in the transfer rules. I am not sure whay I am not able to find this unit field when I can see 0CURRENCY.
Please let me know your suggestions..
Thanks.

Hi,
0currency is the base currency(Reference unit) key of 0LOC_CURRCY and 0DOC_CURRCY. You can map with 0LOC_CURRCY and 0DOC_CURRCY.Using 0currency as a reference unit you can make different custom currencies infoobjects like 0LOC_CURRCY and 0DOC_CURRCY.
If you check the Extraction structure in R/3 some fields make reference to WAERS and some others to HWAERS. That's why you have both.
The same in BW, some of your Key Figures, in their definition, will be based on 0CURRENCY, some others in 0LOC_CURRCY and so on...
It all depends on the data type and reference of the fields you're extracting from R/3 and the Infoobjects mapped in BW.
Document Currency
Financial Accounting (FI)

Sales and Distribution (SD)
A currency in which the total values in a sales and distribution document are calculated.

Currency Key Reference field in WebDynpro Table Column

Hi Experts,
I am using a WebDynpro table (not ALV) showing multiple currency fields in a single row - each one potentially referencing a different currency key e.g. Japanese Yen and USD in a single row.
My currency context attributes are already defined as currency types, but how can I assign different currency key references to each of my currency context attributes? Or is this somehow done as a property of the table column UI element?
Thanks for your help,
Peter

Hi Kris,
You answer is very helpful, but I do have a question about going the DDIC route. So you are saying that if I take a DDIC structure into my context with multiple currency keys as reference fields for multiple currency fields, then my WebDynpro context will know exactly which currency key is the reference for which currency field without having do do this programatically as you described? If that's true, can I bring a whole DDIC structure over to the context and then delete the 'Dictionary Structure' refrence from my context node, so that I can add my own additional fields to the context node? E.g. in the case of DDIC structure VBAP can I get all my currency fields and their reference fields from the DDIC from VBAP and then delete 'VBAP' as a 'Dictionary Structure' from my context node and add my own custom fields. The fields I would have brought in from VBAP still retain their type and everything after the deletion of 'VBAP' as a 'Dictionary Structure', so my question is will it also retain the node_info of what currency key goes with what field?
Please let me know if you happend to have done this before.
Thanks,
Peter

Currency key for amount of zero

I load an ODS and have an amount assoociated to 0currency. When the amount is zero, the currency key is not loaded into ods even though there is a key in source?

Check the update rules for the object as well as the start routine for any restriction on Zero amount.
Hope this helps.

Currency key in COPA document

Hi,
Do you know how the currency key entered in COPA document is found ?
The currency key should be equal to document currency.
For the operating concern view of the COPA document, my currency type is not equal to document currency but to company currency.
Thank you for help !

I might have misunderstood your question. In the summarization tables that are normally used for BW extraction there is no transaction currency available. You can have transaction currency only at line item level.

Currency key for Conversions using NODIM

Hello Experts,
I have question related to Currency key.
I have below mentioned scenario -
My Report output looks something like this
Doc No|Doc Value| 500 |USD |
so KF value and currency key(USD) are in seperate fields(column in Bex Report)
I seperated them by doing NODIM on KF and including the Currency key in Report.
The problem arise when I do currency conversion.
So on the initial Selection screen I gave user an option to run by different currency, so when he select lets say CAD.
The KF does get converted from USD to CAD but my currency key still remains a USD, whereas I would like to show that one based on what user entered on initial Selection screen(which would be CAD in this case).
I have searched forum for this but couldn't find proper solution.
Any guidance is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

DNP

Hi friend
If you are working on UAE, the country grouping have to use is 99.
Check with your FI guy that he had assigned the currency AED to your company code. You can view this in table V_T001.
When you define the personel area, do give country as AE in table T500P
You can default your currency as per pays Scale type and Pay scale area in table V_T510F_B selecting country grouping 99.
I hope this will resolve your problem.

Message no. M8584 ''Enter a currency key'' in MIRO

Hi Gurus,
Infact I am facing a warning message while doing MIRO. Just after inputing MIRO header like Doc date, Posting date, Reference and lastly amount field when I press the enter, I get the above cited warning error. Can you please tell me how to remove this warning error message.
Thanks
BABA

HI,
It sounds like your system is operating according to design. System behaviour changed with note 982645.
The message always comes if you enter header data into miro BEFORE entering PO number and hitting ENTER. It comes even then if you enter header data and PO but press ENTER only afterwards! This is because the check of existence of currency key in the coding happens before the determination of the currency key from the PO. At the time the data are not determined from the PO, the system cannot know whether there will be a PO entry as in MIRO you can post also without a PO reference.
To eliminate the message is to enter the PO first then all other relevant data.
To get rid of this behaviour please implement SAP Note 1001420. This note just deletes new coding.
Please assign points if it useful.

Problem With Currency key

I have created a ZTABLE- having amount field and currency/qunatity field as WAERS and tcurc as reference table.
Created a structure where i created zwaers as field and currency and quantity fields as ZWAERS and my structure name as reference table--it worked
Now the problem is
When I loading into DSO- I have mapped amount to 0amount and Zwaers to 0currency- i also had the transforations for DSO and CUbe
When I tirgger DTP, I am unable to load the data
When I checked in the error stact " keyfigure <> 0 not allowd for unit" and my currency field is blank in the Cube.
I also tried in making the currency key as constant USD which didnt worked
Please help me out with this

hi,
Check the unit associated with the amount field, either it is bringing incorrect value or no value. If amount field is filled and no unit value is coming in the unit field it would give an error like yours. Assign constant to the unit field and then load.

Amount formatting based on Currency Key

Hi,
I want to format the amount field on the basis of the currency key.
for eg.
Chile has the no of decimal places set as 0
so for Chile, the amount 800.00 should display as 800
Similarly for Mexico, the no of decimal places is set as 2.
so for Mexico, the amount 800.00 should display as 800.00.
I am using the follwoing statement
WRITE im_amount TO v_amount
                    CURRENCY im_waers
                    DECIMALS v_dec_places.
where v_amount is type char20 and im_amount is type netwr.
This is working correctly for Mexico but fails for Chile.
Please share your comments on this.
Thanks in Advance,
Binu

The following write statement gives the perfect result.
WRITE v_amount TO v_fmt_amt
                 decimals v_dec_places
                 no-grouping
                 left-justified.
I was not getting the result on using both the currency as well as Decimals addition. The desired result is obtained on only using the Decimals addition.
And I used the FM, 'G_DECIMAL_PLACES_GET' to get the decimals for the respective currency key.
Thanks a lot for your response.

MIRO: enter currency key

Hello all,
I have got a question regarding transaction MIRO. When I enter info like posting date, amount in the header I get an an informational message "enter a currency key"
It's not a hard error so I can enter through the message but I wonder how I can get rid of that message. I understand the system aks me to enter a currency but I don't want to enter the currency manually as the currency automatically defaults from the purchase order when I enter the purchase order nr in MIRO.
My question to you is how do I get rid of the informational message that asks me to enter a currency key. I know that this should be possible as I get this message only since we implemented support pack 53.
We are on SAP 4.6 c
thanks for your help,
Latifa

Hi Lafia,
I would recommend to use transaction OBA5 to modify the message control. Enter the message application area there and then enter the last 3 digits of the information message. Then you should be able to set '-' (message completey switched off) for your information message.
Best regards,
Andreas

BCS Currency Key

Hello,
we are using a BPS and a BCS(6.0) system. In our BPS we have to determine the Currency Key depending on the selected Company. The currency key should be read from the BCS Data model. Does someone have an example coding, which methods from which classes have to be called whitin a BPS function module to find the appropriate Currency Key.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Krish and welcome to SDN!
Very much may depend on the structure of your report and the key figure chosen.
Which key figures have you placed into the query?
Looks like it's not a Group currency. Transaction currency? If you make I/U eliminations in transaction currency and restrict the query by a particular unit, I guess the B/S might be broken.
DO you have any restrictions in the query, such as restriction in the document types, or items, or posting level, or MoveType, or ConsUnits, etc?
How do you apply the hierarchy of ConsUnits to the appropriate infoobject in the query?
Bear in mind that for B/S particular units after I/C eliminatiions most likely will be broken. Only balances by the groups stay balanced.

Currency key missing and consequences in Generic extraction!

Hi,
I am creating datasource using view .
there are some fields in the view which were referenced to some other fields of same table!
that some fields are nothing but the currency fields and are refered to currency key fields.
But currency key was not included in the list of requirements for the view and if u do not include this currency key in the definition it will not allow you to activate the view!
what should i do now?
Raj

HI,
Even though it is not there in your requriement you must have to add currency / unit reference field in the view for keyfigures. Beacuse for each and every keyfigure will follow currency / unit value. Add Ref currency / unit field then activate.

You can get the currency key from the table T001 (t001-waers)...The company code can be get from the table T001K..(T001K-BUKRS)..The valuation area Needed for the T001K is available in MBEW.
Check this code..
* Get the valuation area
SELECT SINGLE * FROM MBEW WHERE MATNR = 'TEST'.
* get the company code
SELECT SINGLE * FROM T001K WHERE BWKEY = MBEW-BWKEY.
* get the currency.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM T001 WHERE BUKRS = T001K-BWKEY.
* Currency
