Currency Translation at Infocube Level

Hi All,
Currency Translation is possible at Infocube Level ? I am working on BI 7.0.
I am working on Infocube 0IC_C03 where i have 2 key figures. 1) 0ISSVS_VAL 2) 0RECVS_VAL. I am getting value in USD,DKK & EUR. I have a requirement to add more 2 keyfigures 1) ZISSVS_VAL (USD) 2) ZRECVS_VAL(USD) where both my keyfigures will transfer all the values in USD.
Here i see a problem is 0ISSVS_VAL & 0RECVS_VAL is getting calculated in start routine and getting stored in 0IC_C03 info cube now i want 2 more keyfigures to be added in Infocube and should get calculated from 0ISSVS_VAL & 0RECVS_VAL. i think it may be possible by END ROUTINE ? Correct me if i am wrong. if it is correct then I haven't worked on End Routine before. if anyone can let me know the ABAP for the same, i really appreciate..

Hi Sudeep,
Thanks for your response. Can you send me some ABAP code as from where to start ?

Reporting level Currency translation and group level Currency translation

Hi All,
Could any body explain me reporting level Currency translation and group level Currency translation.Please expalin me step by step scenario.
Thanks in advance.
Setty.

Hi Jian,
In my recent implementation completed, business only had one currency to deal with i.e. USD. Data was coming from ECC and we loaded all the data in LC instead of USD using transformation *NEWCOL(LC). Next, you can maintain a rate of 1 in the rate model and run the currency conversion.
This will generate the same data values against USD. So, your statement " if we load LC and than convert it into USD, the data vulu will de double." is incorrect. In the system, you will have same set of values against LC as well as USD.
I suggest that you configure Currency Conversion for future reqmts if any.
Regarding BCF, balances from previous year (Balance Sheet Accounts) will need to be carried forward as opening balances to next year else your BS won't give true picture.

Currency Translation in InfoCube

Hello,
I have my Master Data InfoObject which contains the currency (USD, EUR, INR) and the currency values are stored in a DSO. The InfoObject as well as the DSO have a field (CARR_ID) which is common to both.
I wish to unite the Master Data InfoObject as well as the DSO in an InfoCube and perform Curency Translations so that I see the source currencies as well as a fixed target currency and their respective values in the BeX Report. This I wish to implement with ABAP code in the Transformation Routine.
Do I need to use an InfoSource or is there any other method to do this.
Please advise. POINTS WILL DULY BE AWARDED!!!
Thanks,

Dear Sebastian D'Souza ,
I think for your case there is no need for IS. Please go through these for more information
Currency translation
Currency translation allows you to translate key figures with currency field that are present in the source system with different currencies to a standard currency in the BW system,

Trnsactions for Doing Currency conversion
If you are using SAP Netweaver 2004s and BI 7.0, use Tcode RSCUR
RRC1 Create Currency Conversion Type
RRC2 Edit Currency Conversion Type
RRC3 Display Currency Translation Type
Transaction for maintaining currency translation is OBBS and for exchange rates OB08
Step by step procedure (sample with example)
1. try to go to RSCUR:
2. create or modify your currency translation type
3. exchange rate type could be "M" (standard) and choose dynamic exchange rate determination
4. in Currency Tab set: source currency from record, target is USD
5. and now TIME Tab: use Variable Time reference: "END of MONTH" with standard InfoObject "0CALMONTH" or "END of PERIOD" with Standard InfoObject "0FISCPER"
Attention: the InfoObject 0CALMONTH or 0FISCPER has to be in your Cube. Otherwise choose special InfoObject "ZYOUROBJECT" which has the date (like 20.03.2008)
its better to choose "Beginning of Period", because your table in OB08 has to be filled with values starting 01.MM.YYYY
(like 01.03.2008) is exchange rate = 28
01.04.2008 is exchange rate = 29 etc. not to think about how many days are in Februar, March, April etc.

Currency translation on Query level (YTD exchange rate)

Hi Experts,
I want to implment the currency translation logic in query as below. Please advise what I should do.
Case 1
Variable entry screen
Posting date (range): 01.09.2007 - 31.03.2008
Query result
Sales amount figures from 01.09.2007 - 31.12.2007 => use exchage rate at 31.12.2007
Sales amount figures from 01.01.2008 - 31.03.2008 => use exchage rate at 31.03.2008
Case 2
Variable entry screen
Posting date (range): 01.09.2006 - 30.06.2008
Query result
Sales amount figures from 01.01.2006 - 31.12.2006 => use exchage rate at 31.12.2006
Sales amount figures from 01.01.2007 - 31.12.2007 => use exchage rate at 31.12.2007
Sales amount figures from 01.01.2008 - 30.06.2008 => use exchage rate at 30.06.2008
In query, key figure sales amount will be shown in ONE column. Please give a hint how to implement this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Helen

Hi Helen,
I guess you are trying to user conversion based on data record. data record intunr dependent on variable entry.
So for the definition of currency translation, use time reference as end of calender year/quarter and info object as posting date.
This should work fine for the same key figure, based on posting date, as per the example provided by you.
Hope I am clear enough.

About currency translation

Hello Gurus,
when source key figure currency is fixed, and target key figure currency is variable, there is no currency translation in the transformation rule. so how can I do currency translation?
when source key figure currency is variable, and target key figure currency is variable, approach for currency translation is CT or assignment possible . what does "assignment possible" mean?
Many thanks,
Frank

In both the cases you can do currency translation at reporting level...
Use the transaction RSCUR to create a currency translation type which can be used at reporting level..
In the transaction RSCUR you can mention if your target currency is fixed or variable

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 key not appearing in dropdown for selection

Hi BI Gurus,
We are using BI 7.0 SP 08 and SAPGUI 6.40 patch level 19. Let me explain our scenario.
We are using SEM-BPS for Planning. Data is loaded to BW InfoCubes and then uploaded to summerized Infocube.
We are also loading data from flatfiles into other set of custom Infocubes similar to IM Cubes.
Planning is done in Transactional infocube and there is multiprovider on top of Transactional Cube, Summerized standard Cube and summerized custom infocube (for flatfile) for reporting.
We are pushig back the final plans to R/3 system and currency conversion is automatic. There is no problem here.
We are loading planing data and actuals from flat files to our IM custom Infocubes. The data is coming in different currencies and we are converting and updating in the cubes in fixed currency USD. Once plans are finalized,we want to give some kind of tool to the users to see their appropriation requests and the plan value in local currency. We are thinking to create some BEX queries for this purpose. Users will Select their requests and currency and the query will display their requests in local currency.
RRC1 tcode does not work in BI 7.0. There is an equivalent Tcode RSCUR to create the Currency Translation Key. I created a translation key. Now I am trying to use this key into BEX, using GUI for 3.X and BI 7.0. This key is not appearing in the dropdown for the currency translation key selection. So there is no way I can use this key.
I went through a number of postings in this forum and still looking for the right one. Is something I am missing? or Is some bug in BI 7.0.
I know it was working in BW 3.5. Can you guys share your experience? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Currency Translation Using 'Time Reference'

Hey Experts,
Quick question.
Has anybody had experience performing the planning function 'Currency Translation' <b>BUT</b> using the 'Time Reference' field.
My goal is to have it translate the currency based on Fiscal year/period, using the fiscal 'year/period END' to determine the translation date.
However in the paremeter group for currency translation, when I click on the 'Time reference' Drop-down button to select, it's blank, and give me no choices to pick anything. Have I missed something here? Are there any other prior steps I've ignored?
I already have the fiscal year/period characteristic defined on my level.. and I've defined my 'Targ.Curr' as USD.
I can't find much documantation except for the basic help button, but that doesn't really say much.
Any advice..?
Thank All.

Hi,
If I understand you correctly, am I then to assume using the Fiscal year/Period '0FISCPER' will not work. The F1 help say it should.
And are you saying if I use Fiscal year '0FISCYEAR' and/or Posting Period '0FISCPER3' instead, it should work by giving me the option of choosing the start or end of these two fields when I click on the drop-down of the Time Reference??
The way I have this defined is as follows.
At the level I have both:
Fiscal year/Period '0FISCPER' -> 001/2006 to 012/2007.
Fiscal year '0FISCYEAR' -> 2006 to 2007.
In my Paramter Group I have the following definition:
Target Key Figure: Value in Object currency
Source Key Figure: Value in CO Currency
Exch.Rate: 001P
Char.Target.Crcy: Currency
Curr,Date: Is currenctly Flagged, but will remove it once I have the Time Reference field working.
At the Planning area, I have a characteristic relationship defined as a derivation using 'Type' reference data, whereby the Fiscal year (0FISCYEAR) is referenced from the Fiscal year/Period (0FISCPER), and the Posting period (0FISCPER3) also references the Fiscal year/Period (0FISCPER) that are currently stored in my transactional cube.
Based on the above, I still don't get anything to choose from when I click on the drop-down for the 'Time Reference' field in the currency translation.
If you could perhaps do some screen dumps of the level you defined, characteristic relationship, as well as how u defined the parameter group, that may help.
You can attach email it to '[email protected]'.
Sorry for the confusion, but I think I'm missing something obvious and simple here..!!
Thanks

Currency Translation feature in BEx reports

Hi colleagues,
As you know, when creating queries, you can right click a given key figure and from Currency Translation frame you can select a customized Currency Conversion Key so OLAP engine displays the "converted" value of such Key figure. Standard TCURR table is used for the conversion.
Also, RRC1 txn. code can be used to create Currency Translation Keys to be used in query designer as described before.
I have created a "currency translation key" (let's name it ZTAXILOC) in RRC1.
I have changed my query in the query designer to use this "customized Currency Conversion Key (ZTAXILOC)". My query uses an InfoSet as "infoprovider".
However, when executing query on BEx Analyzer, I receive error message "Cannot apply currency translation type ZTAXILOC in infocube ZTXA04LA3", where ZTXA04LA3 is the name of my infoset that feeds my query.
The Diagnosis is: "You tried to translate a query element with the currency translation type ZTAXILOC. The translation type ZTAXILOC, however, has VARIABLE TIME REFERENCE, relevant to "DH Document Date" characteristic, which is not available in ZTXA04LA3 infoprovider....".
The "DH Document Date" characteristic exists in the ZTXA04LA3 infoset, but technical name changes since for Infosets, BW system dynamically assigns a technical name for each element in the join and it differs from technical in source ODS.
My question is:
Can I use custom "currency translation keys" in query designer if my query uses an infoset as infoprovider? or is custom "currency translation key" just allowed in queries that use an ODS/InfoCube as infoprovider? or should I provide RRC1 with technical name for "DH Document Date" existing on ZTXA04LA3 infoset?
Please advise.
Thank you.
Mario Vallejo.

We are running into similar currrency conversion issues on an infoset. We have an existing currency conversion key created using RRC1. The existing currency key is set up as follows:
TO_USD Convert to USD (Billing)
Exchange Rate Type = Standard translation at average rate
Dynamic Exchange Rate Determination = Yes
Inverse Exchange Rate = No
Source Currency from Data Record = Yes
InfoObject for Determining the Source Currency = No
Selection of Target Currency with Translation = No
Fixed Target Currency = Yes = USD
InfoObject for Determining Target Currency = No
Fixed Time Reference = No
Variable Time Reference = Yes = To the Exact Day = Special InfoObject (0BILL_DATE)
Query Key Date = No
We convert sales amounts to USD using this conversion key on existing cubes. When trying to apply the same conversion key to the new infoset, we received the following error:
Diagnosis:You tried to translate a query element with the currency translation type TO_USD. The translation type TO_USD, however, has variable time reference or variable target currency relevant to characteristic Billing doc. date. Characteristic Billing doc. date is also not available in InfoProvider ZBILLCOST and it references either none or more than one characteristic () of the InfoProvider for Billing doc. date, or Billing doc. date is not a base characteristic.
We have tried to steps in the response to this thread and continue to receive the error.
In Step 1, the only thing that we think we can change is the info object text in the infoset, not the technical name, is this correct?
In Step 2 & Step 3, we have never used variables for currency conversion. We create the currency key using the RRC1 and select the info object for conversion. We did try creating a new currency key in RRC1 and tried to find the newly named (text) info-object for billing date on the infoset, but it wasn't listed as an option under special info-object. Do you have more information on how to create the variable in query designer and how it is used and how to assign to the currency translation?

Currency Translation in Planning sequence with variable for target currency

Hello ,
i have a requirement, the cube contains multiple data in the Group Currency for multiple company codes. & I want to convert these amounts to another KF as local currency using planning sequence only (not using transformation, as the users want to do this when they require.)
For this, i defined a Aggr level , filter & Planning function with Currency translation selecting the source field as AMOUNT_GC & target field as AMOUNT_LC using the Currency Translation type ZCTGCLC.
The target currency is not know beforehand, as it depends on the company code of each records that comes in.
Hence, Currency translation type uses a Customer exit variable 'Z_R_0026' for target currency.
This is customer exit variable which searches the Master data table of the Company code & replies back with the local currency of that particular company code (derived value from the company code variable also in teh filter).
However, when i execute this planning sequence, it gives me an error saying, "no value found for variable 'Z_R_0026'
1. when edit the CMOD code, to return only say "EUR" the planning sequence runs fine.However when i use this select statement to fetch the corresponding value of the currency using the company code reference from the company code master data table, it gives the above error. it seems to be a problem with the select statement.
below is the code for that exit
when 'Z_R_0026'.
     data: l_curr type /BI0/OICURRENCY.
     IF i_step = 2.
       LOOP AT i_t_var_range INTO loc_var_range
                          WHERE vnam = 'Z_S_0003'. " Company Code Single
         CLEAR l_s_range.
    Filling Currency Key from Company Code
         select single currency
         from /bi0/pcomp_code
         into l_curr
         where comp_code = loc_var_range-low
         and objvers = 'A'.
         if sy-subrc = 0.
           l_s_range-low = l_curr.
         else.
           l_s_range-low      = 'ABC'.
         endif.
         l_s_range-opt      = 'EQ'.
         l_s_range-sign     = 'I'.
         APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
         clear l_s_range.
         EXIT.
       ENDLOOP.
     ENDIF.
2. there is a option of using infoobject for target currency in the RSCUR itself, however, when i try to input the 0COMP_CODE for finding the attribute currency from this infoobject, it doesnt accept.
has anyone tried this earlier ?
Any help/suggestions , guys, pls?
Thanks
John

Hi Praveen ,
Thanks for that.
I have a Question.
If RSCUR were to only accept a Date InfoObject , it would be placed under a differnt heading.
The Tab is "Currrency" & the sub-Tab is "Target Currency"
so i guess, it should accept other infoObjects as well.
Moreover, the help on that InfoObject buttons says
"Specification of an InfoObject (Characteristic) in which a currency
attribute is stored in InfoObject maintenance. At runtime, the
associated currency attribute is determined using the characteristic
value and this is interpreted as source or target currency."
& i have already defined 0currency as a attribute of 0comp_code. so this should work ideally.
almost similiar CMOD code i have used for other too, but i dont know why only this one is getting struck.
any help, pls.
Thanks
John

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 - Problem with Posting Period (0FISCPER3)

Hi Gurus,
We are currently working on an Implementation project in Integrated Planning (BI 7.0) and are having issues with Currency Conversion for each Month. The requirement is that Client will maintain Currency Exchange rates on a month on month basis for Exchange rate type P.
In all the Info providers we have used Posting Period 0FISCPER3 as a Time characteristic and NOT 0FISCPER ( Fiscal Year / Period ). Eventhough 0FISCPER appears as a Standard time characteristic in all Info providers , we have not even considered the same in all the Aggregation levels.
When we are now defining a Currency Translation Type thru RSCUR transaction , we select Variable Time Reference as "Beginning of Period" and the ONLY Standard Info Object available there is 0FISCPER and not the Posting Period 0FISCPER3.
Is there anyway that we can include 0FISCPER3 also as a Standard Info Object !!!!! If not , is there any way out ..... Do we have to include 0FISCPER necessarily as a characteristic in the Aggregation Level ? Please advise.
Regards,
Venkat.

Hi,
In the IP modeler you can also use the FOX formula for conversion.
CURC(<amount>, <d>, <exchange rate type>, <curr_from>, <curr_to>)
This reads the RSCUR table, and you can write your own date from fiscal or calander. So it is most flexibel.
Maybe this helps.

Juriaan

SAP reporting - currency translation

Hello Guys,
In SAP report S_ALR_87013558 - the output is beeing displayed in unwanted currency.
The database currency is XXX but the report is beeing displayed in List currency YYY.
When checking report painter form: 12KST1A, I can see that the key figure is set to 'Overal in CAC'
Controlling area currency = XXX. How to remove the YYY currency from the report if I don't want to use the Currency translation. Where is it taking the YYY currency from?
Thank you..

Hello Didier,
My case is little relevant to the cureent post.
I have created a variable with RSCUR transaction code to get user input date.
This variable prompts in the sap query.
Upon my SAP super query we have built an universe, to build bo reports.
As this variable is created with RSCUR transaction code, it is not reflecting with universe designer to get translated.
Can you please provide me any approach, on taging this variable with other dimension at sap query level or any other approach to solve this issue.
My requirement is to include it with sap query, to get reflected with universe.
Please let me know the approach on passing values from one varaible to other variable, which i guess would solve this issue.
Thanks.

How to maintain Currencies at Hierachu Node Levels
