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 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 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 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 ?
Regards
Jayesh.

Hi,
I had this message a few years ago in an investment report, SAPNET note 68264 solved that case. Search SAPNET notes there are some old ones (eg 111575, 117829) maye they are helpful.

Hello Everyone,
I created a Restricted Key Figure and want to assign a currency translation key and the field is greye out.
How do you assign a currency translation to a restricted key figure?
Thanks so much,

Hi Colleen,
Did you first assign the Currency COnversion Key (box on left). Then the Target Currency box will be enabled.

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.

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
Preben

good news: it works!

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,

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 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

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 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

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.
Cheers,
Aparna
