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 translations in a query

in my cube i have transactions in dollars.
but in my report i want it in rupees.
where can i do currency translations in
reporting.
please give me path how to do it.
correct me if i am wrong.
conversion routines are nothing but writing
routines on currency translations
plese help me out.
i will assign full points
with regards
vishal

in the report, you need only use the context sensitive menu to perform a currency translation or you can set it in the properties of the key figure in the query definition. thats the easy part, before all that works you need to have the currency table filled in with the translation factors (the easiest way is to upload it from your r/3 system, one of the choices against the source system in the source system tab - "transfer exchange rates") then create a translation key (or see if one already exists)- t-code RRC1 for 3.5 and earlier or RSCUR for 2004s. translation type M is standard and there are a few fields to fill out, but it is pretty easy to guess your way through it.

About currency translation

Hello Gurus,
when source key figure currency is fixed, and target key figure currency is variable, there is no currency translation in the transformation rule. so how can I do currency translation?
when source key figure currency is variable, and target key figure currency is variable, approach for currency translation is CT or assignment possible . what does "assignment possible" mean?
Many thanks,
Frank

In both the cases you can do currency translation at reporting level...
Use the transaction RSCUR to create a currency translation type which can be used at reporting level..
In the transaction RSCUR you can mention if your target currency is fixed or variable

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.

Hi,
Why can't you user the global currency translation method which system maintains.
Is there need to store the translated value in the infoprovider or you just want to translate it and show it to the user.
If later is the case you can create your own translation method based on the evaluation characterstics and apply it to the key figure which you want to translate.
Check for tcode RRC1.
Hope this Helps!!!

Currency translation with user defined exchange rates in a BEx report

Hi guys,
our business department requests a new functionality in our BW system. They want to simulate a currency translation in a BEX report. But this currency translation should be so flexible, that the user can change the exchange rates directly in the report.
For example: The report should show a list of all our local company revenues. In the first column the plan revenues will be shown in the local currency (each company has its own local currency: USA->USD; Japan->YPN, Great Britain->GBP and so on). This revenues comes from a normal infoprovider, loaded via flat-file.
In the second column the user should be able to enter or change a plan currency rate. The entered exchange rates should be stored in BW for a next use. They won't maintain the rates directly in TCURR, because this rates are only for simulation use !
In the third column the translated Revenues in Euro currency has to be shown under the use of the exchange rates from the second column.
I investigated a lot of time in the SAP help and here in the SDN, but I didn't find any solution to realize this. Is there generally a possibility to make a currency translation with exchange rates out of the TCURR? Would it be an option to use the integrated planning function of BW? Or is this requirement to far away for an simple implementation in SAP BI ?
I hope, someone of you has also fixed a similar problem or has a good inspiration.
Thank you in advance.
Thomas

thanks for the prompt reply!
Unfortunately, exchange rates are not a part of my cube. They are held in different tables, and referenced depending on what kind of exchange rates I need to be looking at (average rates, daily, planning etc.). The only way for me, at the moment, to know which rates have been used is to go to query global view, and look at the type of conversion, and then try to figure things out. Plus there can be a different key date used in the query, which makes things more complicated.
Anyway, it was worth asking
Thanks again.

SAP reporting - currency translation

Hello Guys,
In SAP report S_ALR_87013558 - the output is beeing displayed in unwanted currency.
The database currency is XXX but the report is beeing displayed in List currency YYY.
When checking report painter form: 12KST1A, I can see that the key figure is set to 'Overal in CAC'
Controlling area currency = XXX. How to remove the YYY currency from the report if I don't want to use the Currency translation. Where is it taking the YYY currency from?
Thank you..

Hello Didier,
My case is little relevant to the cureent post.
I have created a variable with RSCUR transaction code to get user input date.
This variable prompts in the sap query.
Upon my SAP super query we have built an universe, to build bo reports.
As this variable is created with RSCUR transaction code, it is not reflecting with universe designer to get translated.
Can you please provide me any approach, on taging this variable with other dimension at sap query level or any other approach to solve this issue.
My requirement is to include it with sap query, to get reflected with universe.
Please let me know the approach on passing values from one varaible to other variable, which i guess would solve this issue.
Thanks.

Display selected currency translation type in BEX webappl report

Hi everybody,
we use currency translation at query runtime. We do not select the translation type in the variable screen but use the possibility with Context menu -> Calculations and Translations -> Global Currency Translation
Everything works fine, the conversion is done correctly BUT I want somehow display the selected tranlation type on the report! Is this possible? As I know there is the possibility in web applications to call a class method at runtime, maybe there exists a function module or class which can return the actual translation type used.
There must be something like that because when I select the context menu "Gloabl Currency Translation" again a second time, the actual translation type is selected in the combo box.
We also need the information on the generated pdf dokuments.
Thanks for any hints!
Regards
Oskar

Dear Oskar,
have you found a way to display the currency translation info in web report? Or could somebody give me enlightment whether this is possible? Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Mariana

Currency Translation Report

BCS generates the currency translation on periodic basis.
Is there any way report can be generated for the backup of the currency translation amount posted to that month.
Please share your experience on this..

Eugene,
let me try and explain in detail.
The solution what is suggested is very easy in list cube (sorry I didnt mention that clearly ).
make sure you dont sleect the DB aggregation
You can see a seperate line item created for currency translation activity and invariably LC amount will be nil and GC will be populated with value based on teh setting in CT.
Download this to an excel sheet and do the analyis what you wanted.
The values together with the value in 0BCS_CT flag
The other standard way is to do as suggested by Dan.
But I found the above information in listcube useful to me.
Sorry I was very criptic I will def try to be more elaborative next time.

Reporting level Currency translation and group level Currency translation

Hi All,
Could any body explain me reporting level Currency translation and group level Currency translation.Please expalin me step by step scenario.
Thanks in advance.
Setty.

Hi Jian,
In my recent implementation completed, business only had one currency to deal with i.e. USD. Data was coming from ECC and we loaded all the data in LC instead of USD using transformation *NEWCOL(LC). Next, you can maintain a rate of 1 in the rate model and run the currency conversion.
This will generate the same data values against USD. So, your statement " if we load LC and than convert it into USD, the data vulu will de double." is incorrect. In the system, you will have same set of values against LC as well as USD.
I suggest that you configure Currency Conversion for future reqmts if any.
Regarding BCF, balances from previous year (Balance Sheet Accounts) will need to be carried forward as opening balances to next year else your BS won't give true picture.

Ashish

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 unit in Report painter

Hi,
I met a problem when i maintain a report using report panter. Table FAGLFLEXT is used for the library, and I want to using currency translation function. I use Basic key figure "HSL local currency" and CC_HSL translation local currency for the report. But when i run the report, there is a problem, system tell me that can not find the unit of source currency, so can not translated to target currency. The data of local currency can be displayed.
i set the format of the local currency column, find that even i click "print the unit", there is no currency unit of the data, so I think there is some problem.
What is the problem? thank you!

Hi Amir,
Thank you for your answer.
I changed the key figue to "Crcy Transltn TransCrcy (Act.)" as told, and run the report again, but still have problem.
No valid exchange rate for currency translation from to USD
Message no. GR640
Diagnosis
The system could not find a valid exchange rate for the currency translation.
System Response
The system could not translate into the target currency.
Procedure
Check the target currency, the exchange rate date and the exchange rate type.
I am sure i have maintain the exchange rate type and related rate.
The setting of "Define Currencies of leading Ledger" is "1 Translation taking transaction currency as a basis".
I think the problem is that the system cannot find the unit of the currency, so the error massage display as "No valid exchange rate for currency translation from to USD". If can find the unit of currency, i thought the message should be like "No valid exchange rate for currency translation from EUR to USD".
If the unit can be found, I think after set the format of the column "print the unit", in the report the unit can be displayed. But in my system, can not display the unit.
What do you think about this? thanks in advance.

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 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
