Currency translation key based on posting period 0fiscper3

Hi Folks,
The requirement is to perform currency translation in query based on the end of period.The query uses the time characteristics as fiscal year (0FISCYEAR) and posting period (0FISCPER3).
    I have maintained the currency translation key using RRC1 with variable time ref as 0FISCPOER3 .On executing the query I am getting error that 'No Exchange rate maintained ' .But the exchange rates are maintained in the system.
   SAP Help states that the variable time reference has to be a standard InfoObject as 0FISCPER or 0FISCYEAR   or customer defined Infobject with type date.
0FISCPER3 is of type NUMC .
   Is this the reason that I am not getting the currency translation ?? or I am missing out in some settings.
Please advise .Due points will be granted .
Thx,
Gautam

Hi Gautam,
0FISCPER3 just stores the period values as 001, 002, 003 etc, with no reference to the year (and hence no reference to a fixed point in time). Try create the RRC1 key using 0FISCPER and use this in your query.
Hope this helps...

Currency Translation Type - Problem with Posting Period (0FISCPER3)

Hi Gurus,
We are currently working on an Implementation project in Integrated Planning (BI 7.0) and are having issues with Currency Conversion for each Month. The requirement is that Client will maintain Currency Exchange rates on a month on month basis for Exchange rate type P.
In all the Info providers we have used Posting Period 0FISCPER3 as a Time characteristic and NOT 0FISCPER ( Fiscal Year / Period ). Eventhough 0FISCPER appears as a Standard time characteristic in all Info providers , we have not even considered the same in all the Aggregation levels.
When we are now defining a Currency Translation Type thru RSCUR transaction , we select Variable Time Reference as "Beginning of Period" and the ONLY Standard Info Object available there is 0FISCPER and not the Posting Period 0FISCPER3.
Is there anyway that we can include 0FISCPER3 also as a Standard Info Object !!!!! If not , is there any way out ..... Do we have to include 0FISCPER necessarily as a characteristic in the Aggregation Level ? Please advise.
Regards,
Venkat.

Hi,
In the IP modeler you can also use the FOX formula for conversion.
CURC(<amount>, <d>, <exchange rate type>, <curr_from>, <curr_to>)
This reads the RSCUR table, and you can write your own date from fiscal or calander. So it is most flexibel.
Maybe this helps.

Urgent: Currency Translation Key

Hi,
I am trying to do currency translation for one of the cube which has following time char:
0FISCYEAR - Fiscal year
0FISCPER3 - Posting period
In R3 exchange rates is of type M and maintained at the end of month.
For the currency translation key (Z_PSTG_DT ) in BW I have defined following under time ref tab:
Variable time ref: End of period
Special InfoObject: 0FISCPER3 - Posting period
When I execute the query with this translation key I get the following error:
System error in program SAPLRSW0 and form RSW_CUR_TRANSLATION_RATE_GET-06-
No exchange rate from CAD to USD and date 00/00/0000 found (currency transl Z_PSTG_DT/M)
Please advice on how currency translation should be defined for this scenario
Thank you,
sam

Hi Sam,
I assume you are considering posting date as date for conversion of currency and in that case one has to make sure that posting date never gets stored as blank ie. 00.00.0000 this being the case source system will not have exchange rate which is effective on date 00.00.0000 and results in error in currency translation..
Hope that helps.

SEM 4.0 - BPS Planning Function - Currency Translation (Account Based) !

Hi,
Currently we are migrating from SEM 3.1 to SEM 4.0 and we are using Currency Translation (Account Based)and would like to use the same functionality, but for some reason the CT functionality is not working properly. It is throwing garbage numbers in SEM 4.0.
Is anyone out there facing similar problem on the Currency Translation (Account Based) functionality on SEM 4.0. Appreciate your help.
Thx,
Jay

Hi,
We are working on Integrated Planning(IP). We are currently using a key figure based model, where in we have 0amount, 0amocac and 0amoccc for transactional currency, controllling area currency and object currency amounts.
If we go with account based model for keyfigures, i.e by taking currency type as 00, 20, 10 , we have a problem with the currency translation functions.
Could you please let us know, how we can handle currency translation with the account based model?
Thanks,

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 key 899 has not yet been defined

Hello,
While executing report S_PL0_86000028 in production client I am getting message 'Currency translation key 899 has not yet been defined' Message No. KH292.
However, the same message does not appear in quality/development client.
Any idea as to what could be the reason for different behaviour of report between produciton and quality ?
This is an information message. However are there any possibilities of the incorrect report figures being displayed due to this error ?

Currency Conversion---- Based on Posting period

Hi All,
I am creating a report based on FIAA .
Query selection screen will contain COMPANY CODE , and the POSTING PERIOD
suppose we enter company code as 2100 and posting period from 001.2007 to 012.2007.
I need to translate all the balance sheet items are translate with the closing rate (M) for the current period , i.e. the "to period in the report " here 012.2007.
The To period is dynamic and i need to select the currency conversion rate dynamically based on the To period entered in the selection screen of query.so, Can any one give the clues to achieve this. Your help is appriciated.
Thanks & Regards

Use RSCUR transaction to create currency translation type.
Here under "Time Ref" tab use "Variable Time Ref" and special infoobject.
You should be able to choose Posting period or posting date here.
Now in query designer maintain the currency conversion based on this currency translation type.
Hope this helps.

EC-CS-currency translation key 5 - Translation of each period at applicable

Hi,
When using translation key 5 (Translation of each period at applicable rate for the period) in our methods, for this to translate local currencies per period, do we have to run our currency translation methods EVERY period, or can we run it just once, say at year-end, and it will re-compute the group currency values for each period using applicable exchange rate for those periods?
For instance,
period 1: LC value = 100,
GC value = 150
period 3: LC value = 200
GC value = 300
No currency translation method is run at this point, the GC values are just given values.
If we decide to change the exchange rate for period 1 to 1LC = 2LC, and we run currency translation at year-end using translation key 5, will the system recompute the GC value in period 1 from 150 to 200?
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Peter

Hi Sudhir,
From the accounting point of view, the purpose of currency translation is basically to adjust the local currency into the group currency. I can say that, it's actually a "simplified" version of on-line paralel currenty as we have in on-line SAP R/3.
In your case, you said that there is no "off line companies" in the group. I assume that R/3 will be the 100 percent source of your consolidation system.
If your feeder system (FI, and probably CO), has been equiped with the paralel currency, then there's no need for you to activate the currency translation since the translated amount is there already in the paralel currency.
Hope can clarify.
regards,

Time reference for Currency translation keys

Hello!
I need to recalculate transactions from Company Code currency to a new target currency. By using RRC1 I created a translation key, but it does not work as I hoped.
The whole year should be calculated based on the exchange rate in the period selected.
By using "Variable Time Ref." combined with key "3 End of period", it calculates each period with its exchange rate. My hope was that it could calculate all periods back with the exchange rate of this period.
Did not find any places to configure this either. Anyone with a good suggestion?
Best regards

Currency translation key issue on web

Dear BI Colleauges,
I am facing a problem with respect to currency translation.Issue is that.When i execute the report on web(Please note variable exists for 0currency).I do right click and use the Global currency option.I am trying to convert EUR to USD.When i use the currency translation option,it successfully changes the value to USD.But the unit remains still in EUR.I am wondering does this Unit also changes or it remains same as its database currency.
As a prerequisite,I have defined currency translation type in RSCUR.Exchange rate as M with Dynamic Ex.rate determination.In currency tab,For source currency its 'Source currency from data record".For target currency its "Target currency selection with translation.In Time ref,its current date.I have not used this currency translation type in keyfigure ( In KF properties conversions tab).I do use this type in run time whn i execute the report.I did try option of creating variable also and using the same variable in report.But the result is same.
Please observe the report looks like this.First column material,second column is currency and third column is value.
It would be great if anybody can give your inputs on the same.

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

Currency Translation Using 'Time Reference'

Hey Experts,
Quick question.
Has anybody had experience performing the planning function 'Currency Translation' BUT 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
