Currency Translation Doubt in BI7

Hi
I have a doubt in currency translation.
I have created currency translation type. Given exchange rate.
Calculating varible on 0date based on version.
Now if i have transaction data
mat plant amt cur
mat1 plant1 100 INR
mat2 plant2 200 CNR
I have only maintaied Tcurr for INR to EURO with exchagne rate 10
when i run report i know INR transaction record is converted to 1000 but what will happen to CNR record.
What wil lhappend to transaction record if the currency exchange rate is not maintained in TCURR during currency translation?
will it give me in CNR only ? or does it display zero in report.
regards
jana

HI Janardhan Karmala
If the CNR currency is maintain at the ecc side and as well at Bi side then i think it will show the data in CNR. IF its in Ecc side not maintain in bi side thenn u can exchange currency setting in BI from ecc by rytclick on source system in rsa1.
If you want to show the value of this KF again in EURO then u can maintain th coversion from CNR to EURO with factor in table Tcurr and get it replicate to Bi by exchange currenvy and setting.Use it in the currency conversion in BEx reporting .
Thanks,
Deepak

S_ALR_87012168 currency translation type

In this report S_ALR_87012168 - Due Date Analysis for Open Items you can select a translation key "currency translation type"
How you know wat is what ? is there a table / transaction where you can see this?

Hi,
In this report S_ALR_87012168 - Due Date Analysis for Open Items you can select a Currency & translation key "currency translation type". That means in which currency user want to see the open items of Receivables. You have to mentioned the Translation type also, because the selling rate/buying rate may be different for different currencies. Standard SAP gives a lot of options to select for currency translation type.
Hope i clarified your doubt.

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.

CTR (currency translation reserve) account calculating

Hello, colleagues!
We have met another issue:
When RU's currency not the same as reporting currency, equity historical change should be shown on account CTR (currency translation reserve) separately (according to IAS 27). We implemented rule, which perform it, but this rule should be applyed only for RU, which currency not the same as consolidation currency. How rule can distinquesh it? In other words, how FC can understand for what RUs CTR should be calculated through the proccess of consolidation, and who which RUs not?
Thanks!

First of all you have to forget the V# in your expressions on the context you are working. This is managed by the if statement. Second, what you do here means that you are done with translation and now you are in calculation at the <Parent Currency> level. So, you also forget Sub Translate, this will never work. A third problem I can see is that you should specify base members for C3 and C4 in the left side of your HS.Exp expression (it is not necessary to do the same in HS.Clear though).
Finally I have some doubts on the way you are trying to do this. You have two parent accounts A#BS400000 and A#BS899999, and you try to assign their difference in a descendant account. I'm not sure how this cyclic reference would work. However, it could work if BS500600 was not in any of the hierarchies of the above parents. Then the piece of code below could work.
If HS.Value.IsTransCur() Then
HS.Clear "A#BS500600.C1#[None].C2#C200185.I#[ICP None]"
HS.Exp "A#BS500600.C1#[None].C2#C200185.I#[ICP None].C3#[None].C4#[None] = A#BS400000.C1#AllCustom1.C2#AllCustom2.I#[ICP Top] " & _
" - A#BS899999.C1#AllCustom1.C2#AllCustom2.I#[ICP Top]"
End If

Currency Translation on Key Date for AR Aging

Need your valuable advice!
I have created an AR Aging query including both Open and Cleared Items based on 0FIAR_C03_Q0005 standard query. However the requirement is to do currency translation to Group Currency (USD) on Key Date. This Key date is defaulted to today but the user can change this to go back in time and pull all the ARs as of that back dated key date.
I was planning to create a currency translation type on M rate based on the Key Date Variable in RSCUR. However I am confused on which variable to base this currency translation. I have several key date variables in my query such as 0P_KEYD2 (based on Posting Date), 0P_KEYDT (based on Net Due Date) and 0P_KEYD3 (based on Clearing Date).
Which Key Date Variable should I use in 'Time Reference from Variable' field in RSCUR? Would it be one of the 3 mentioned above or something else and why?
Appreciate your valuable advice.
Thanks,
Al

Hi,
Yes I do want to use the Key date from the variable screen and I am using the standard 0FIAR_C03_Q005 with slight modification including currency translation.
As I mentioned in my original post I have several key date variables in this query such as 0P_KEYD2 (based on Posting Date), 0P_KEYDT (based on Net Due Date) and 0P_KEYD3 (based on Clearing Date). My question is which one should I use if I want to base it on the specific key date variable from the variable screen? I need the specific Key Date variable technical name.
Thanks,
Al

Use of BAdi UC_CTR_XRPROC in Currency Translation

Hi All,
Has anyone experience of the BAdi for determining Exchange Rate in BCS?
In BCS you have the option of customising the Procedure for Exchange Rate Determination by using a Badi, my current client has configured a custom one but I can't view the configuration (due to authorisation frustrations), so I can see that something has been selected but can't see what it is.
Selected Info from SAP BCS help:
You can create additional procedures for exchange rate determination in the customer namespace. The custom procedures, along with the standard procedures, are offered for selection in Customizing of currency translation methods.
If you specify a parameter when creating a procedure for exchange rate determination, this parameter is also offered for selection when the procedure is listed.
At the time of execution, whenever a custom procedure for exchange rate determination is encountered, the system calls the Business Add-In for exchange rate determination ( UC_CTR_XRPROC). There you can freely determine the exchange rate for each data record being translated.
Also:
The E/R determination procedure is the second-last step for determining the value in target currency. (The last step is the currency translation procedure, for which there is also another Business Add-In, UC_CTR_CTPROC.) At this point, the data records to be translated are accessible, and the date of exchange rate determination is known.
All help will be much appreciated

Thanks Eugene,
it appears to have been implemented at one of my current clients but I can't work out what it's doing.
An old, incomplete configuration document indicates that they were trying to stop the GC figure being updated unless Currency Translation Indicator <> 0 (ie RFD record is not updated by Currency Translation task, GC values are only posted to new records with CT Indicator >0)

Currency Translation

Hi,
We have different needs for the currency translation depending on the financial statement items an movement type.
So, we have defined 2 methods (and 2 tasks) all different.
They are different also in the exchange rate type for the reference translation.
That is, for example:
First method (task):
Exchange rate type for the reference translation (1003 - Historical exchange rate)
Step:
   Investment items
    and type of movement (100 u2013 beginning balance)
Specific translation:
u2022     Currency translation key: periodic
u2022     Exchange rate type: EURX (EMU regulation, variable exchange rates)
Item (Translation Difference):
Item (58200)
    Subitem (58201)
Second method (task)
Exchange rate type for the reference translation (1002 - Average exchange rate)
Step:
    Income statement items
Specific translation:
u2022     Currency translation key: periodic
u2022     Exchange rate type: EURX (EMU regulation, variable exchange rates)
Item (Translation Difference):
    Item (58200)
    Subitem (58202)
PROBLEM:
When we run the methods at consolidation monitor, the second task affects the result of the first task.
The result from the first task is correct.
When we run the second task, which is for income statement items (not this as the first one u2013 investments), System is creating a new step (a cumulative one), which is changing the Exchange rate type for the reference translation of this item; meaning is changing the previous correct values.
Why is this happening?

Thanks for your answer.
So, what you're saying is that I cannot have several Exchange rate type for the reference translation according to financial statement items/movement types?
I always have to have the same Exchange rate type for the reference translation for all the items/movement types?
Thanks for your help.
Best regards.

Currency Translation Warning

HI,
I created a query and used currency translation for the key fields. When I execute the query it throws a warning message for all fields in column saying
'Currency Translation cannot be carried out for element 67/XXX'
where XXX is the column name. I have checked the translation used and it is correct and I have used the same one for all the fields. Can someone shed some light on this problem?

Currency translation problem

Dear All,
I am trying to create the currency translation type and use it in the Bex Designer. But its not converting the values at all.
Output required:-
Need to convert all INR values to fixed USD currency. Source currency is always INR and target currency is always USD.
But customer i going to give us the exchange rate for everymonth and we need to apply the latest exch rate depending upon when user is running the report. We are planning to store the rates in some z table as of testing we are accessing tcurr table.
Case:-
Say user is running report as on today then last month rate(july month rate) needs to be picked up.
Say user is running report today but viewing report data as of May only then also latest rate i.e July month rate needs to be picked up and applied.
Backend activities while creating translation type:-
Exchange rate type :- M
Source curr:- Source curr from data rec.
Target curr:- Fixed target curr - USD.
Time reference :- Variable time reference , Begining of period, standard infoobject i.e 0FISCPER.
I am not very sure on what values needs to be selected for Time reference tab in order to achieve my case.
Frontend activities:-
Using the same key figure and changing the currency translation properties.
Reqeust you to give ur inputs on this.
Thanks & Rgds,
Anup

Hi Mansi,
Thank you very much . I am now able to select my variable.
But one small concern. Now after creating the currency translation type i just need to maintain the rate in tcurr table rite?
My value would for tcurr table would be;-
M INR USD 20090701 47.095
M INR USE 20090601 460258
Use this variable in Bex Designer.
Is there any other area which we need to take care of.
Thanks & Rgds,
Anup

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 - not picking up currencies from master data

Hi,
We have a currency translation defined for a key figure. We've defined a variable for users to select target currency. 0currency is set to pick up from master data, but the input help on the variable is only showing currencies from infoprovider. I debugged the query and it is trying to get the currencies from the cube. Any setting that I do or update?
We're using BW 7.3 SP10 on HANA.

HI
Once check in the BEx tab of that IO, there select the f4 option.

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..
Regards,
Komik Shah

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

Currency translation error

I have created a currency translation key for Exchange rate type M and the key is based on time characteristic 0CALMONTH. It is working almost fine but is failing in the below two mentioned places:
1. The values for all the months are being shown correctly, except for December 2006. for december it shows the november values. However it shows the values for January 2006 correctly.
2.When the currency is CZK(Czech Republic), the currecny conversion values are not matching completely. That is the ratio between CZK and USD is 22.02132 in R/3 but it is 22.02164 in BW.
I have tried checking the values against the report RCURTEST, the values for CZK to USD are matching in this report output, but in BEx output they dont match. I have also tried transferred the settings from R/3 (by right clicking on Source system and choosing transfer exchange rate settings). But still I keep getting this mismatch.
Can somebody advise where I am doing wrong?/
Thanks in advance.

I found the solution.
I removed the check in "Currency Conversion for External Systs" in External Data tab of InfoPackage, and was able to load the data.
Thanks guys for all you help

Currency Translation with Variables

My currency translation is not working and I can't figure out why. Here's what I've done:
1. Created a variable on 0CURRENCY, processing by user entry.
2. Created a currency conversion type. Exchange rate type 1001. Source currency from data record. Target currency from variable (defined in step 1). Current date.
3. Created a query in the BEx. Set my key figure to use the currency conversion key defined in step 2. The target currency is set to the variable created in step 1.
When I run the query it asks me to enter my currency. However, it does not do a conversion on the key figure. i still have some rows showing different currencies.
Can anybody see if I have done something incorrectly, or suggest how I can get this to work.
Cheers

Have you transferred the exchange rates from R/3?
RSA1 -> source systems -> rightclick on system -> "transfer global settings" -> check currencies and update

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.
