Currency Translation from FI to CO

Hi All,
Need help to know how currency translation is done from FI to CO.
I have two company code called A and B having located at two different countries. For company code B I am doing rollout as they both uses different currency rate and their local currency is also different.
For Company code A its the standard Exchange rate type M which is been used.
But for company code B I had to create a Z exchange rate type and usd 2nd local currency type as 60 which is Global company currency.
Now FI side I can see for Company code B its converting with proper exchange rate.
But when I see CO and Profit centers reports its taking from M exchange rate type though I have created separate controlling area. and In CO settings for versions and fiscal year I have given ZM as exchange rate type.
How can I manage to get the currency conversion in Z exchange rate type.
Regards,
Arvind.

Hi Subbarao,
I am using different Chart of accounts and controlling area. I tried using direct quote for my Z Echange rate type but the calculation is going wrong in FI side.
So can you provide me more information how will I get in Profit Center reporting.
Regards,
Kiran.

Currency Translation from local to group currency in AP /AR

Hi Gurus,
I have reporting requiremtents where in i need to show KF;s in local and group currency. I am using standard extractor AP_4 and AR_4. These extractors does not bring KF's in Group currency but only in local and document currency.
Can anyone tell me what is the best way to go about carrying out the currency translation from local to glocal currency for AP and AR.
Thanks in advance and yeah points guranteed for helpful answers...
Cheers..
Sam

I take it you mean the extra currency in the company code config (ie group reporting)
Just unhide the fields DMBE2 and HWAE2 from the extract structure and allocate a new infoobject to them - then add to eith your transformation or transfer rules/update rules and add to the cube

Currency translation from EUR to USD

Dear all,
Our local currency is TWD and we need to convert document currency in sales order from EUR to the third currency (e.g. USD) when executing BW query in BEx Analyzer. Currently we only have exchange rates for all currencies to TWD in exchange rate table. Except for defining exchange rate of EUR to USD in exchange rate table, is it possible to convert EUR to USD (e.g. convert EUR to TWD first and then convert TWD to USD)?

Hi,
This info may be of help for you.
Check these tables Exchange rates are maintained here.
Table TCURR - Exchange rates
Table TCURF
Table TCURV - Exchange rate types for currency translation
Table TCUR*
Table TCURC - Currency Codes
The update of exchange rates is updating tables TCURR and TCURV. If you run at the same place the transfer of global settings, the tables TCURF, TCURS, TCURT, TCURV, TCURW, TCURX, TCURC and TCURN are updated.
For details check the programs RSIMPCUST (global settings) vs. RSIMPCURR (exchange rates).
You can maintain exchange rate factors in TCURF table via RSA1>source system>context menu (transfer global settings check only currencies)/transfer exchange rates, this updates TCURF table but also updates all currency related tables. You need to check what all tables you need to update. Also you can look into standard program RSIMPCUST to know what all currency tables will be updated.
If you want to maintain them directly in BW then go to SPRO > Genral settings and Currencies (SPRO -> Global Settings -> Currencies).
OB08 maintains the enties for currency conversion, here you can check whether the exchange rate is maintained to convert the currency from one curr to other.
Thanks,

Currency Translation in BO 4.0 Analysis Edition Office 1.1

Hi,
We are using Analysis Edition Office 1.1 for reporting and SAP BW system as source. After I create the report, I would like to change the currency for USD instead of report currency which is CAD. We have an option of Currency Translation available (in Measures), however when I try to use this option to convert the values to USD, it throws an error message:
An exception occurred.
Send the attached log file to your administrator.
SAP BI Addin will be closed.
If you want to save the data in the document, you must save a copy of the document because the data needed for the addin functions cannot be saved correctly. (ID102001)
I also checked 'Advanced Options' in User Settings, so that in the Currency Translation window 'Use Currency Translation from Query Definition' was enabled. But this option is greyed out in my reports.
Now, if I run the same report for testing in BEx Analyzer, the currency translation works as expected. This would mean that it may not be a problem in the BEx query settings.
Is there something I am missing or some settings in Analysis Office 1.1 I need to configure to get this working ?
Thanks,
Prasad

Have you downloaded the latest version of Analysis Office, version 1.2, which has been GA since January 31st? It is now on SP 4.
I would download the latest version of Analysis Office to see if that works.

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.

Change of Standard Currency Translation Logic

Hello everybody,
I need to achieve special goal to for a user request:
In a BPC planning application using version 5 MS I would like to import data from another data source and perform a currency translation from LC to RC. The application is NOT set-up as a YTD application, as the planners should be able to input data on a periodic basis (i.e. month). So the default currency tranlation would take the LC amount from one month and multiply it with the rate for this month giving the amount in RC.
I need to change the FX trans logic in a way that the LC amounts are summed up first and then the multiplication with the last FX rate is taken, i.e. similar to a YTD consolidation application. I do not want to change the existing appl into a YTD-appl as monthly input is needed.
Therefore I need to change the standard FX trans logic from, let's say, "multiply each monthLC value by FX rate and then build the YTD value" into "sum-up each month LC value giving YTD LC value and then multiply by FX rate of the last month".
Can I achieve that by tweaking the standard FX logic or do I need to set-up a certain FX Business Rule? Do I need a new measure ? How would the coding look like ?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
Wolfgang

Does nobody have an idea how to attack such a challenge ?

Transformation Currency translation error

Hi,
I'm afraid I have a problem while implementing transformation from 3.5 to 7.0.
source - 0net value unit 0doc_currcy target: 0incordval unit 0stat_curr.
the sysetm saw the currency translation (from 0doc_curry to 0stat_curr), but not the conversion category, I get no F4-help for this field (msg RSTRAN170 Fields of the rule invalid for a conversion.
When I would like to change the conversion category, I can see all I created in 3.5 do I have to implement them also or do I have to do some other regarding the error message?
could somebody help me please?
Kind Regards Manuela

Can you please check that 0doc_curry and 0stat_curr are the reference characteristics of 0CURRENCY
I think these two currencies are not referencing to 0CURRENCY. That is why you are getting the error.
Thanks,
DK

Currency translation type to be created

Hi
need to create the currency translation type where we need to convert the data stored in local currency in the real time cube using the exchange rate type and excahnge rate and all other details stored in another std cube . And excahnge rate type and excahnge rate are customised objects not referencing to std objects and not the standards.The real time cube and the exchange rate cube is connected to the multiprovider.We have created the aggregation level on top of multiprovider.
Can we use still RSCUR to create the currency translation type to read the data from the excahnge rate cube during query run time to calculate the target currency.
Tried to use the currency translation from the planning workbench but it still asks for the currency conversion type.
Please advise
Kind Regards,
Sarah

Hi
You need to use any one of the Standard Currency Conversion Types provided by SAP--B/G/M/P. Generally 'P' is used for Planning purposes.
You can also create user defined CC Types. You need to maintain that. If you get in touch with any FICO consultant at your location....he/she will guide you appropriately.

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 not working with "Time Reference from Variable"

We have created several Currency Translations using RSCUR with a fixed "Key Date". All have been working fine until we got the request to allow a variable date for the exchange rate date. I have built a variable on 0DATE which I am putting a default date value into using user exit. This default date is the SAME date as the fixed "Key Date" which we have been using. Unfortunately when we use the "Time Reference from Variable" option and use this new variable, no currency conversion is taking place, instead it only shows the original currency values. I am 100% sure that my variable is getting a value and it is the same date we are using for the fixed "Key Date" value so both methods should be using the exact same exchange rates. The documentation that I can find states:
●      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.
In my case I am only switching from option "You can specify a fixed date as the key date"=(Key Date) to "You can specify any variable that exists for InfoObject 0DATE"=(Time Reference from Variable).
What am I missing? Any help is appreciated.

I neglected to mention that we are calling this currency translation through a WAD button using the SET_CURRENCY_TRANSLATION command. I did do a test by applying the currency conversion within query key figure. This seems to work. So it appears the issue is with how the WAD is processing the variable, not the query. When I display the variable in a drop down item within the WAD it does have the default value that I have assigned in user exit.

BPS Currency Translation with rate from previous year

Dear All,
I am trying to use the BPS currency translation function. However, I would like to use an exchange rate from the previous fiscal year, in order to reveal currency effects.
I would appreciate any help, hopefully regarding ways to mend the standard function. I am afraid a workaround with the FM CONVERT_TO_LOCAL_CURRENCY would end up in a giant crutch.
Thank you in advance,
Lars Biederstedt

Thank you for your answer, Marc.
I would definitely like to know more about option 1.
Option 2, a fixed data, would not work, because data had to be translated monthly, with the exchange rate from exactly one year ago. I was really surprised, that you could not enter a variable as a time reference and use offsets, like you can in queries.
I ended up using an Exit-Function with the function module convert_to_foreign_currency. Unfortunately you cannot change characteristic values with Exit-Function, so I have to repost after every currency translation.
Anyway, it works.
Best regards,
Lars

Report Painter - Translation from Transaction Currency

Hi,
I have set up a report painter report using "Translation from Transaction Currecny" as one of the key figures in one of the columns in the report. When I execute the report it prompts me for the target currency and the ER type which is what I was expecting. EG I want to translate actuals to say AUD at budget rate (type P)
My question is.... I add a second column again using the same key figure ""Translation from Transaction Currecny" which I want to exchange using a different Exchange rate type.E.g I want to translate actuals to AUD using the forecast rate (type Q). However, when I execute the report I was expectiong to be prompted twice for the target currency and exchange rate type but it still only prompts me once.
Does that mean that using the key figure that I cannot use it in more than one column in the report?
I hope this makes sense.
Thanks...

Add custom reports to an existing Report Tree (SERP)
For example:
Add custom report to: Project System/Information System/Financials/u2026
Find u201CPS91u201D from SERP
Add a report to PS91
The trick is find the existing report tree related to standard main menu.
Or create a new report tree where you house all custom or selected reports in one place.
May also consider using area menu (SE43): create a structure, for example, to house all custom reports. A useful tool to manage custom/specifc reports

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)
