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

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 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 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 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 help

    Hi everybody,
    I have the following problem to solve:
    There are some companies which currency is HKD (Hong Kong Dollar) and in the report I can see the data in HKD and also in EUR, based on a currency translation.
    Now.. the HKD is changed to CHY -Renminbi (Chinesse Yuan)- and I need some how to show the data in the reports in all three currencies.. (HKD, CHY and EUR).
    I have already a currency translation between HKD and EUR. How can I implement another currency translation for the same?
    The reports should not be modified at all if possible, or small modification..
    Any suggestions? I need help..
    Thank you all!
    Ramona

    Hi Eugene,
    Sorry for confusiong you.. I'm confused too..
    So..
    I have companies with transactional currency HKD. THIS companies will change their transactional currency to CHY, starting 1st OCT.
    But I handle now the data with transactional currency HKD.
    I have the next exchange rate: HKD> EUR, CHY> EUR.
    At this moment in the reports I have amounts in HKD and EUR. I also need this amounts to be shown in CHY!
    The exchange rates are maintaind every month in a internal table. There is an upload (file upload) at beginning of every month with new exchange rates.. I think.., what I know for sure is that there is an internal table from where I can get this exchange rates for one month.
    I have to modify now the reporting InfoCube so that the amounts are also showed in CHY.. this is what I need.
    I hope now is more clear..
    Thanks a lot!

  • 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,

  • 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,

    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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.
