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 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 in Report!

Hi All,
I am working on AR Aging report. We are maintaing currency translation in the BEx only. We are maintaining month end rates. For that exchange rate is defined and configurations are done.
But when I executed Over due analysis report the aging balances for target to source gets converted in to the currency amounts which is loaded latest means if I update the TCurr table with Nov month end figures it will show the aging report as those rate for every report.
But if I run the report as of oct then it should show Oct 31st month end rates.
If I am wrong please correct.
How does this R/3 report behaves when it comes to translations.
Thanks in Advance.

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 differences with an effect on earnings

Product Version: SAP R/3 46.C
Componente: EC-CS-CSF-E Currency Translation
In currency translation program of ECCS (tx CX40) the prior year portion of translation differences that affects earnings is posted in current period in the earnings retain item (ER) which according to SAP documentation "Currency translation differences with subsequent consolidations" is correct, however when we run the currency translation on subsequents periods this amount is posted again generating a multiplying of differences on each period.
In accordance with section u201CBu201D of SAP note 553586, the carryforward item (retain earnings) was assigned to translation key 5, to avoid multiplications of this difference in every execution of currency translation for current period. This correction was applied successfully, however the problem is now generated when we run the currency translation in every subsequent period.
SAP notes 582815 and 553586 was applied succesfully.
We also verified SAP note 1045402 changing the translation key 5 to 1, for balance carryforward item (retained earnings) this avoids the difference effect on subsequents periods, but generates a translation differential effect undesired on this item, since this is a historical item that not must be altered by currency translation.
Additionally we read SAP note 509509 and we think that this issue corresponds whit symptom 2 of that note.
Step by Step:
Transaction: CX40
Setting of Translation SET in translation method:
1.- MARS-GAP-Monetary:
1.1.- Items of balance sheet
1.2.- Translation Key 1
1.3.- Item for differences: income statement item with an effect on earnings
2.- MARS-GAP-NonMonetary
2.1.- Items of balance sheet
2.2.- Translation Key 6
2.3.- Item for differences: income statement item with an effect on earnings
3.-MARS-MOR-Monetary
3.1.- Items of P&L
3.2.- Translation Key 5
3.3.- Item for differences: income statement item without an effect on earnings
4.-MARS-MOR-NonMonetary
4.1.- Items of P&L
4.2.- Translation Key 6
4.3.- Item for differences: income statement item without an effect on earnings
5.- MARS-HIST
5.1.- Items of balance sheet
5.2.- Translation Key 6
5.3.- Item for differences: Balance sheet item without an effect on earnings
6.- ANI-BS-FX
6.1.- Items of differences SET MARS-HIST and Carryforward Item for special items in transaction CXD3, the same item for the balance carryforward (retained earnings)
6.2.- Translation Key 5
6.3.- Item for differences: Balance sheet item without an effect on earnings (the same item for the SET MARS-HIST)
7.- ANI-BS
7.1.- The special balance sheet item in Transaction CXD3
7.2.- Translation Key 5
7.3.- Item for differences, the same item
8.- ANI-IS
8.1.- The special income statement item in Transaction CXD3
8.2.- Translation Key 5
8.3.- Item for differences, The same item
Note:
1 .- According to the point A of the note 553586 was included the FS Item 484051011(difference item for SET MARS-HIST) in the conversion SET ANI-BS-FX
2 .- According to Section B of the note 553586 was included the account for carried forward 481000001 the special accounts set up in the transaction CXD3 in the conversion SET ANI-BS-FX
3 .- According to Section C of note 553586 are included special accounts set up in the transaction CXD3 390000 and 251200, in the conversion SET ANI-IS and ANI-BS respectively.
When run the currency translation in the new year 1-2011, the prior year portion of translation differences that affects earnings is posted in current period a credit to earnings retain and debit to account difference in SET for this account. This amount is same on special balance sheet item 251200, in tx CXD3, also found on the statistical FS item.
Then in subsequent periods, 2 - 2011 it posting another credit to earnings retain and debit to account difference in SET for this account, generating a multiplying of differences on each period, even though the difference for this account (ER) in the log of the translation currency is equal to the difference posted to the previous period, show this in transaction CX34 for items of translation (1) for this account until 1-2011.
Edited by: Ana Brito on Jul 25, 2010 8:10 PM

Hi,
just a information how I did a workaround about this:
The opening (movement type 100) of the balance sheet item "differences of currency translation" is customized with "don't change...".
Every increase to "differences of currency translation" works with e.g. movement type 120 and will be carried forward to 100.
Maybe this is a scenario you can use...

Currency translation for key figure in bex not working.

Hi friends,
i want to do currency translation for key figure(invoice value in local currency).
i have followed the steps as under:
1st Transferring Global Table Contents: Currencies from R/3 Systems
2nd than transfer exchange rate - from r/3 to bi
3 than In SPRO settings of BW there is option "consider translation ratios in translation"
4th than used transaction RSCUR for creating currency translation type: parameter(exchange rate:m, soure currency fom data records, target currency ISK, time ref: current date)
5th than in BEX query designer have sated this for key figure
but when i run query in RSRT, curreny amount not getting convert?
am i missing any step?
pl. guide.
thanks dushyant.

Hi Dushyant,
Are these steps followed in Query designer??
In the Query designer, for that particular key figure property, under Conversion tab >> Currency Translation >> Conversion Type, select the currency translation type you created in RSCUR.
And in the target currency, select accordingly.
If you are going to use a variable, use the following link..

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.

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.

Currency translation for a restricted key figure in Query designer

Dear Experts,
In my query i am using a restricted Keyfigure (ZRKF1 which is reusable). I have to change the currency translation key of the restricted Key Figure from zcur1 to zcur2. I am not able to edit zrkf1 Currency translation in the properties( It is in gray colour) ,while i can do it for a normal keyfigure. if i edit zrkf1 then other queries will be affected. How should i solve this? Can i copy and paste the zrkf1 to zrkf2 in order to use zrkf2 with currency translation zcur2 in my query ? How can i coy and paste restricted key figure?
Thanks,
Riya

Hello Riya
I think you can't change the currency transaltion type for RKF... to change it in RKF just make the changes in the KF which you have used in RKF....
If you don't want to change the CURR translation type in KF1 than copy it paste it (KF2)and change in that KF2...now u can use KF2 in restricted KF...
Thanks

We have typical issue in currency revaluation in BCS. While running the currency translation in UCMON for some of entities we found abnormal figures in the gain/loss.

This amount is showing under accoung Currency translation adjustment which is hampering the financials.
We have cheked the CT methods & consol.unit settings which seems to be fine. We also ran the balances c/f.

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!!!

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.

Do you have any ideas why we get the second line?
Thanks.
Sorry, I've already found the solution. Currency translation indicator 1 is the translation delta between specific value and reference value.
Edited by: Barrie Roche on Sep 2, 2008 10:45 PM

The translation indicator 1 is for translation where the translation rate type is different from the reference rate type. Could this item be in the translation method twice with different rate types?
