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 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 Conversion at the time of Invoice Print Document Creation

Hi,
In our system for some accounts we receive payments in USD (foreign currency) and at the time of posting, the amounts are stored in both transaction currency and local currency (CAD).
We have a scenario as follows:
Payment is posted as a payment on account (sitting as open credits)
At the time of invoicing, these items are picked up to be included in the bill
Now while calculating the invoice amount, these payments are again converted into local currency by using the configured exchange rate (SAP NetWeaver>General settings>Currencies)
For e.g.
Document
Amt in USD
Amt in CAD at posting
Amt in CAD at invoicing
300000000
200
214
220
300000001
144
145
159
The print document calculates the invoice amount using (220+159) which is not in sync with what we see in FPL9 (214+145). It also causes the invoice to go out of balance as print workbench is picking up the amounts from the table.
My understanding is that we should be able reconcile the invoice header amount with the account balance in FPL9. In such cases, depending on when the invoice is created (cancel/rebills etc) the amounts will always be out of sync as the exchange rate changes frequently.
Is there a way this functionality can be controlled from the invoicing side? Or does the PWB code have to be modified to handle this situation.
Thanks for your time.

Prashant

Currency Translation with different time dependencies

Hello,
I'd like to use different currency translations within my query.
Values of the time period 01.2006-07.2006 should be converted
1. with the exchange rates 01.2006-07.2006 (done)
2. with the current exchange rate 01.2007-07.2007
The problem is that I don't know how I can manage the second step. It would be easy if I had one period per column but I need to show several months in 1 column....
Does anyone have an idea?
Best regards,
Thomas Markus

is table TCURR maintained in R/3 with the exchange rates you want and the proper date ranges?
Then, is that table imported in BW?
If you answered yes to both, I'm not too sure what the issue is, can yopu clarify?

Problem with currency translation and variable time ref. with 0FISCPER

Hello,
We have a problem with a currency conversion with a variable time reference (as iobject we use 0fiscper)
We created a currency conversion for several key fig:
Our settings:
Exchange rate Type: EURX
dynamic ex rate determination
Source cur from datarecord
Fixed Target Curr (EUR)
Variable time ref.: End of Period
Special Infoobject: 0fiscper
When we run the DTP we get the following error:
<i>Enter rate GBP / EUR rate type EURX for 00.00.0000 in the system settings.</i>
ending the DTP in a message type X.
In table TCURR and T009/T009B all necessary information is available.
After debugging the function module, it looks like the created date (created from the FISCPER) is set to 00.00.0000. This results in the error above.
Does anybody have experience with this error and more important know how to solve it?
We also have a 0FISCYEAR available but in the TCURR table al rates are defined per end of the month. When trying to use 0FISCYEAR as InfoObject in the variable time reference, a diffrent error occurs: Enter rate GBP / EUR rate type EURX for 01.01.1001 in the system settings. While the 0FISCPER is 2001001.
Is there a bug in the function module? (couldn't find a SAP note)
We are working with BI 7.0 and SP12
Best regards
Steven

Please can you give more detail on how you were able to resolve this issue? How did you add 0fiscper to the transformation? I am on BW 3.5, how do I fix this same issue on it? Please help, this is urgent.

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

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

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,
SD

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.

Show Currency Translation Type

Hi,
I don't know if it's possible but I want to see te currency translation type that I use in a query. For example, If a user make a currency translation it's possible to catch the currency and the currency translation type that he choose and show them :
- in the title ?
- in a column or in a text item of my default web template ?
Thanks for your help
Aleksi

Hi,
The parameters that determine the exchange rate are the source and target currencies, exchange rate type and the time reference for the translation.
To define a translation type you have to define the exchange rate type, the time reference, and how and when the inverse exchange rate is used. Entering the target currency is optional.
●      Exchange rate type: The exchange rate type distinguishes between exchange rates that are valid in the same time frame, for example, the bid rate, ask rate or middle rate. The exchange rate types are stored in a central table (TCURV) and can by maintained in Customizing using BI Customizing Implementation Guide ® General Settings ® Currencies ® Check Currency Types. Alternatively you can specify any variable that exists for InfoObject 0RTYPE.
●      Inverse exchange rate: You can choose whether the inverse exchange rate is to be used for the translation type. If you choose translation with the inverse exchange rate, then the reverse exchange rate is used in the relevant translation from one currency to another. Translation using the inverse exchange rate is useful, for example, when values from the original documents have been translated before being saved in the data targets and you want to restore the original values.
You have maintained the following exchange rates:
EUR ® USD 0.940
USD ® EUR 1.070
When translating from USD to EUR using the inverse exchange rate, a rate of 1/0.940 = 1.064 is used and not a rate of 1.070.
●      Source currency: The source currency is the currency that is to be translated. You have the following options:
○       The source currency is determined dynamically using the data record. This is always the case when you perform currency translation in the Business Explorer.
○       The source currency is determined dynamically using a specified InfoObject (characteristic). During the data load process, the source currency can be determined either using the data record or a specified characteristic bearing master data (see example: Defining Target Currencies Using InfoObjects. Determining the source currency using an InfoObject is performed in the same way).
○       You can use a fixed source currency in planning functions. Data records with the same currency key as the source currency are translated.
○       You can specify any variable that exists for InfoObject 0CURRENCY. You can also use these options in planning functions.
●      Target currency:
To determine the target currency, you have the following options:
○       You can establish that the target currency be determined upon translation. In the Query Designer under the properties for the relevant key figure, you specify either a fixed target currency or a variable to determine the target currency.
○       You can enter a fixed target currency (for example, EUR).
○       You can specify any variable that exists for InfoObject 0CURRENCY.
○       In the currency translation type, you can specify an InfoObject which is used to determine the target currency upon translation. In characteristic maintenance on the Tab Page: Business Explorer, you have to determine a currency attribute. For more information, see the example under Defining Target Currencies Using InfoObjects. If the Only Use in Transformation indicator is set, you can also enter InfoObjects that do not have a currency attribute set in InfoObject maintenance. InfoObjects that are entered here have to be available in the source and contain a currency as an attribute.
○       You can specify an InfoSet: This is only necessary if you are determining the target currency using an InfoObject that exists in the InfoSet more than once. You enter the field alias so that the InfoObject can be specified uniquely.
●      Time reference: The time reference for the currency translation can be either fixed or variable.
If the time reference is fixed, the time at which the exchange rate is determined is independent of the data. You have the following options:
○       You can establish that the time reference be determined upon translation.
○       You can select the current date.
○       You can specify a fixed date as the key date.
○       You can specify any variable that exists for InfoObject 0DATE.
○       You can establish that the query key date be used. This is determined in the query settings.
If the time reference is variable, the time at which the exchange rate is determined is decided by a time characteristic value.
○       A variable time reference can, for example, be determined using the end or start of a fiscal year or calendar year, a period and a month or even to the exact day. The following standard time characteristics are available: 0FISCYEAR, 0FISCPER, 0CALYEAR, 0CALQUARTER, 0CALMONTH, 0CALWEEK and 0CALDAY.
○       The time reference can also be determined using a customer-specific InfoObject of type date (for example, trading day). Note that this InfoObject has to have the same properties as the standard InfoObject selected in the variable time reference or must reference it.
○       You can specify an InfoSet: This is only necessary if you are determining the target currency using an InfoObject that exists in the InfoSet more than once. You enter the field alias so that the InfoObject can be specified uniquely.
In the Business Explorer, you can only set time variable currency translations in query definition, and not for an executed query. See also Setting Variable Target Currency in the Query Designer.
○       In the Time Adjustment field of type INT4, you can specify whole numbers with a +/- sign.
○       In the Time Adjustment from Variable field, you can specify formula variables (1FORMULA). As these values of the variables may have to be whole numbers, they are rounded to whole numbers (integers) where necessary.
The time adjustment (regardless of whether it is fixed or variable) is always related to the InfoObject specified under Variable Time Reference.
Example of a time adjustment of -3:
The variable time reference is To the exact day and the InfoObject under Variable Time Reference is 0CALDAY. Instead of 07.11.2006, after the time adjustment, 04.11.2006 is used for the translation.
The variable time reference is End of Week and the InfoObject under Variable Time Reference is 0CALWEEK. Instead of 52.2004, the week 49.2004 is calculated and the end date is calculated from this.

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 problem for calculated key figure

Hi All
I have a problem with the currency translation for a calculated key figure.
I have a requirement to show the MM consignment stock value in the specified currency from the selection screen.
For consignment stock, there is no value maintained in the system. So for this we need to calculate the value as below
Restricted key figure: RKFConsignment stock: Total stock with special stock indicator restriction "K"
Calculated keyfigure: Consignment stock value = Nodim( RKFConsignment stock) * (Standard cost / price unit).
Here, in the calculated keyfigure properties --> I have used a currency translation for the 0CALMONTH.
The query has selection on the 0calmonth.
But in the result the I am getting unexpected results.
Do we have any inconsistencies in the currency translation on the formulas?
Please help me on this.
Regards
S.R

Hi All
I have noticed something. I changed my query date selection to Calendar day - Keydate instead of calendar month.
And I have changed the currency variable to fixed exchange rate "CHF", it is working fine.
I think I have some problem with the currency translation variable.
Could anyone of you please send me the currency translation variable for Calendar month with the below parameters
exch rate type : M
Time reference : 0CALMONTH
End of month
Target currency for a variable : < var created on 0currency>
For my report, i need calendar month selection, currency selection.
Please help me with your ideas.
Thank you

Currency translation on future dates in SAP BW-BEX

Hello All We have a requirement where in user needs to do a currency translation at run time for data in future periods. For example : Savings data on a purchase order .Total savings for PO is $100,000.00 in year/month 2014/008 . We have a from and to date based on which the savings is equally distributed for each month. From 008/2014 to 008/2015. So each month savings in this case is $8333.33. This data is stored in cubes. Currency translation is based on data in TCURR and TCURX tables . We do not have future currency rates in these tables. Table is up to date only as of today . Therefore the question arises WHAT RATE WILL BEX USE TO CALCULATE DATA IN FUTURE PERIODS? (It is doing the conversion from USD to CAD - but there is no idea what rate it is using? The currency translation variable is based on 0calmonth. Please help me understand what are the default settings for currency translations in this case ? Thank your your help. Sainath Kumar

Hello Yasemin Thank you for your answer, we too think that could be the case. But is there any documentation confirming the same. Also in this case the future values will keep changing based on the availability of the data in TCURR table. Thus the report values will not be constant.Technically it makes no sense to convert rate today for a value in future. I am looking for a concrete answer from SAP saying that this is what the Bex query will do in case the future rates are not present. This will give the business a base to work with .

Exchange rate types with referency currencies in BW currency translations

Hello Guru's:
Will BW currency translation keys utilize 'reference currency' functionality on exchange rate types? I want to translate between two currencies (CNY to HKD) that don't have a direct rate, but both have rates for USD.
I have:
- exchange rate type BU10 defined with USD as reference currency
- exchange rates for BU10 with relevant validity dates entered from CNY to USD and from HKD to USD.
- exchange rate factors for BU10 relevant validity dates entered for CNY to USD, HKD to USD, USD to CNY, and USD to HKD.
- a currency translation key defined taking source currency from transactional data (0CURKEY_LC), exchange rate type from a variable, target currency from a variable, and time reference as end of 0FISCPER.
The translation from CNY and HKD to USD works, as does translation from USD to either HKD or CNY, but not CNY to HKD or vise versa. So I wonder whether BW currency translation keys can even use the reference currency concept. Or maybe there are constraints on translation key configuration that must be observed to make them work for this situation.
Kind regards,
Aron

I solve it after using RSRT to debug the currency translation. The must be an additional entry in TCURF for the source and target currencies, not just for the source currency to reference currency and reference currency to the target currency. In my example from the original post, an entry from CNY to HKD is required.
