Currency translation on Query level (YTD exchange rate)

Hi Experts,
I want to implment the currency translation logic in query as below. Please advise what I should do.
Case 1
Variable entry screen
Posting date (range): 01.09.2007 - 31.03.2008
Query result
Sales amount figures from 01.09.2007 - 31.12.2007 => use exchage rate at 31.12.2007
Sales amount figures from 01.01.2008 - 31.03.2008 => use exchage rate at 31.03.2008
Case 2
Variable entry screen
Posting date (range): 01.09.2006 - 30.06.2008
Query result
Sales amount figures from 01.01.2006 - 31.12.2006 => use exchage rate at 31.12.2006
Sales amount figures from 01.01.2007 - 31.12.2007 => use exchage rate at 31.12.2007
Sales amount figures from 01.01.2008 - 30.06.2008 => use exchage rate at 30.06.2008
In query, key figure sales amount will be shown in ONE column. Please give a hint how to implement this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Helen

Hi Helen,
I guess you are trying to user conversion based on data record. data record intunr dependent on variable entry.
So for the definition of currency translation, use time reference as end of calender year/quarter and info object as posting date.
This should work fine for the same key figure, based on posting date, as per the example provided by you.
Hope I am clear enough.

Currency Translation in Query on InfoSet

Hi Experts,
I need to do a currency conversion from 0LOC_CURRENCY to USD on an Infoset. The Data flow is DSOs --> Infoset --> Multiprovider --> Query. I want to do this Translation on Posting date which is in my DSO, Infoset and Multiprovider. I have created custom Translation Type on Postind date (with Exchange Rate Type = M, Fixed Target Currency = USD, Time Reference as Special Infoobject = 0PSTNG_DATE in RSCUR) in RSCUR but in the Query, I cannot see this custom conversion type available, as in report the infoobject 0PSTNG_DATE is available as '<Infoset Name>__FXX' .
Is there any paricular setting need to be done on an infoset to incorporate Currency Translation on Query ? Also, if there is any other procedure available for Infoset Currency Translation, please let me know.
Thanks fin advance or all your help.
Regards,
Dibyendu

Hi,
As I want to do my currency translation on an Infoset the infoobjects do not appear in traditional format. 0PSTING_DATE has taken a name '<Infoset Name>__FXX' (like ZISCURTR__F24). How can I put this reference in RSCUR 'Time Ref' tab in Infoset option over there ? It gives only a F4 help option (donot allow to write something there) and my infoset is not available in the list. Is there any particular setting that I can do in my infoset to make that available in RSCUR F4 help ?
Please suggest.

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.

Message appears at time of query results: NO EXCHANGE RATE FROM

I am executing query using a new currency translation type "ZPERAVG". Variable time reference is defined on End of period for 0FISCPER with exchange rate M1 (Monthly Average). Tested successfully. Purpose is to represent monthly values at differing monthly conversion rates. When I employ this object in existing queries I am getting informational messages as follow:
NO EXCHANGE RATE FROM EUR to USD and Date 01/31/2004. This repeats 23 other time for periods to 12/31/2005. My TCURR table does not include these M1 conversions. First period is 01/31/2006. Is there a way around this nuisance message. It will only confuse the user community.
A second information message also may occur: Error occurred during currency .... however, results appear correct.
I have no explanation as to why these random messages appear.

You will have to upate TCURR with monthly average exchange rates for each month starting with January 2004 and going through December 2005, for conversion from Euros to US Dollars. The error being thrown is truly an error because the system is unable to calculate the conversion due to no exchange rate being available for the timeframe.

Currency Conversion at Query Level

Guys,
Can some one tell me step by step procedure to do Currency conversion from USD to Mexican PESO at query level in BI 7.0. I have read lot of threads but not clear in maintaining the Exchange rates and also in creating the variables.
Thank you,
Kumar

Hi Kumar ,,
You're able to convert the currency amount on the routine ...
Using this function :
CONVERT_TO_LOCAL_CURRENCY
Sample:
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_TO_LOCAL_CURRENCY'
     EXPORTING
        DATE             = " current date.
        FOREIGN_AMOUNT   = " local currency amount (peso)
        FOREIGN_CURRENCY = " local currency
        LOCAL_CURRENCY   = 'USD'
     IMPORTING
        LOCAL_AMOUNT     = RESULT " result.
     EXCEPTIONS
        NO_RATE_FOUND    = 1
        OVERFLOW         = 2
        NO_FACTORS_FOUND = 3
        NO_SPREAD_FOUND = 4
        OTHERS           = 5.
To maintain the exchange rate, you can go to tcode: OB08
Hopefully it can help you a lot..

Not able to use variable on 0LOC_CURRCY in Currency Translation in Query

Hi Gurus,
I am using currecny translation in query for a key figure for which currecy is 0LOC_CURRCY.
Exchange Rate which i am using is updated Yearly. So time reference is 0Calyear (star of calendar year).
Source Currency option is - Source Currency from Data Record
Target Currency - Target Currency Selection with Translation
For target currency, I am using a user input variable which is on characteristics 0CURRENCY.
I want to use a variable which should be on characteristics 0LOC_CURRCY (because it gives Key and Text both in the selection screen of the query). I have created a variable on 0LOC_CURRCY but I am not able to find it in the target currency while defining currency conversion for the key figure.
Please let me know if anybody has any solution.
Regards,
Gaurav

Hi Gaurav,
Instead of defining target currency as "Target Currency Selection with Translation", use the option of "Target currency from Variable" and mention the varibale created on 0loc_currcy there.
This way, you dont need to mention the target currency variable on the key figure. It would autmatically be populated.

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..

Komik Shah

Hi Sudeep,
Thanks for your response. Can you send me some ABAP code as from where to start ?

Reporting multi-currency on reports, without hardcoding the exchange rates

I've seen this problem posted in a few different spots, and the general answer is, reporting only reports in a single currency per report. Unless you do some calculations in a column to get a new currency value.
Problem... 1. we dont really want to hardcode exchange rates into every report that needs the conversion
2. If rates change often there could be a painful maintenance issue to update all those reports
So here is a solution I used for a customer, that worked a treat.

No Rate. Foreign currency invoice does not have an exchange rate assigned to it.

Hi,
working in oracle applications 11i.
We have encountered the above issue in an invoice. I have run autorate request and I can see that the invoice and all its distribution lines has the exchange rate. but when we submit it for validation it shows the error:
APP-SQLAP-97634: The invoice XXX has an accounting hold and is pending cancellation so you can no longer submit it for validation. To have the system automatically validate the invoice and complete cancellation, please either manually release the hold, or correct the errors that caused the hold then cancel the invoice.
Any ideas?
Thanks & Regards,
Abeer

Hi Abeer,
In Support, we would get an aplist of the invoice and provide a data fix to reset the invoice back to the state before cancellation was attempted. If any one in your organization has access to Oracle Support, they should log a bug for this data fix.

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,

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.

Maintaining exchange rates

For maintaining exchange rates, I configured the 1. one. How do we maintain exchange rates. Do we need to get the exchange rates or client maintains it. Where do we get the exchange rates from. Does the exchange rate is given by the client.
1. Define standard quotation for exchange rates
2. Check / maintain exchange rate types
3. Define translation ratio for currency translation
4. Then, enter exchange rates
what is required to be configured by a consultant.

Currency Conversion for Exchange rate type "AS02"

Hi Experts,
I am gonna post the most challenging problem (regarding currency conversion) I ever faced in my 1 year of BW Carrier.Kindly provide a solution.
There are three types of currency to be used in the query for Key Figure 0NET_VALUE (so total 3 Key Figures to be created)
   1.Document currency (may be any currency)
   2.Local Currency (must be EURO)
   3.Global Currency (must be USD)
From Document currency to Local Currency(EURO) we are using Exchange rate Type "M" (in Conversion Type created in Trans RRC1) [There is no problem in this conversion]
Problem starts now--->
From Local Currency(EURO) to Global Currency(USD) we have to use Exchange rate type "AS02" (in conversion type to be created in RRC1)
but there is a Business requirement that currency rate should be as per the last day of the entered period;and this logic should work for the range of periods also.
Example :
we are executing query for the period 006/2006 (posting Period)
Last day of this period is 06/30/2006,
Currency rate would be as per 06/30/2006
And this currency rate should be same throughout the period 006/2006 in query
The example was for single period,but logic must be incorporated for the range of the periods.

Hi..
There is no corresponding source key figure in the InfoSource for the target key figureof the InfoCube.
a. A source key figure of the same type can be assigned to the target key figure
(for example, sales revenue instead of sales quantity revenue).
If the currencies of both of the key figures are the same, no currency
translation can take place.
If the currencies are different, a translation can take place either using a
currency translation type or by simply assigning a currency.
The following table provides an overview of possible combinations with different
currencies in the source and target key figures:
if Source key figure currency is fixed , Target key figure currency is variable then Currency translation (CT) No CT
if Source key figure currency is fixed , Target key figure currency is fixed then Currency translation (CT)   CT
if Source key figure currency is variable , Target key figure currency is fixed then Currency translation (CT)   CT
if Source key figure currency is variable , Target key figure currency is variable then Currency translation (CT) CT or assignment
b. If there is no corresponding source key figure of the same type, then you have
to fill the key figure for the data target from a routine.
If the target key figure has a fixed currency, no currency translation is
carried out. This means that if translation is required, you have to execute
it in the routine.
If the target key figure has a variable currency, you also have to assign
a variable source currency to the routine. Using the F4 help you can
select a currency from the variable currencies in the communication
structure. You have two options:
You can select a variable currency and assign it.
You select a currency translation type and a currency into which you
wish to translate (To currency).
The To currency is, by default, the target currency if it is included in the
communication structure.
Creating a Routine for Currency Translation:
If you want to translate currencies in the update even though the currency translation is not
available for one of the above reasons, you can create a routine. Choose Routine, set the
Unit Calculation in the Routine and choose Create Routine. In the routine editor you get
the additional return parameter UNIT, the value of which is used to determine the target
1. save the query and it under role
   see to it is in   : Restricted and calculated key figures --->   properties of k.f
2. exeute the query
3. the currency translation --> by target currency usd choose OK
conversion type : MEANTODAY Fixed target currency current date (MT)
4. Go back to the query definition by chossing chage query ( global definiton)
5. in the context menu for % share sales vouume of incoming orders, choose properties --> formula collision --> result form this formula choose OK
Note that -
your should alos set the currency translation in the properties for the two key figures sales voule EUR , choose properties ---> currency conversion key : fixed target currency , currrent date ( MT) --> target currency : American Dollar . choose   OK
<b>The translation key is a combination of different parameters that establish how the exchange rate for the translation is executed.
The parameters that determine the exchange rate are the source and the target currency, the exchange rate type and the time reference for the translation.</b>
The source currency is determined from the data record or dynamically from the master data of the specified InfoObject (currency attribute)
The target currency can either be fixed in the translation key or selected at the time of translation.
You can also use an InfoObject (currency attribute) to determine the target currency.
The exchange rate type distinguishes exchange rates that are valid in the same time frame next to each other, for example, the bid rate, ask rate or middle rate. The exchange rate types are stored and can be maintained in a central table (TCURV).
The time reference for the currency translation can be either fixed or variable
The fixed time reference can either be a fixed key date that is stored in the translation type, or be determined using the system date when executing the currency translation.
If the time reference is variable, then the point in time for the exchange rate determination comes from the value of a time characteristic (InfoObject). The reference can, for example, be the end or the start of a fiscal year or a calendar year, a period and a month or even to the exact day. It can also be determined using a customer-specific InfoObject (for example, trading day).
Currency translation in the BEx
When selecting a translation key with a fixed target currency     this currency will be added automatically to the query definition
Also, you can use translation keys selecting their target currency at the time of translation. These can be applied in two different ways:
Selection of a specific target currency in the query definition (1)
Entry by variable (2)
Dynamic translation keys require input from the InfoCube !
InfoObject value will be read during query execution
Examples:
dynamic time reference (p.eg. 0CALDAY)
      time characteristic
target currency determined by InfoObject (currency attribute)
     characteristic which contains currency in its attribute table
the corresponding InfoObject has to be part of the InfoCube
1.Define the currency attribute in the InfoObject maintenance
The currency attribute has to be a unit InfoObject of type currency
The unit InfoObject must be an attribute of the characteristic
The currency attribute should be filled in the master data table of the corresponding InfoObject (manual maintenance or upload via InfoSource)
2.Enter the InfoObject in the translation key maintenance
Only InfoObjects with a currency attribute can be used in translation keys (p.eg. 0COMP_CODE)
At the time of currency translation the value for the source currency / target currency is then derived for every record from the master data table of the specified InfoObject
All values for a query are translated ad hoc (after having executed the query) using a translation key
Depending on the translation key a fixed target currency will be used for translation or you will be able to select the target currency
The ad hoc currency translation offers only restricted functionality (selection of translation key and target currency) compared to the currency translation in the query definition
Do not forget to create your translation keys before starting your work in the Business Explorer Analyzer
Example:
You load the following record to your InfoCube:
Company Code:                1000
Amount in Source Currency:      500,-
Source Currency:                FRF
Target Currency:               ?
In the Update rules, you are now using a translation key which derives the target currency from the InfoObject 0COMP_CODE. During the Update Process the target currency will then be read for Company Code 1000 from the master date table of 0COMP_CODE.
With the currency translation in the Business Explorer, the source currency can currently only be determined from the data record.
Only translation keys with a fixed exchange rate type can be used in the BEx
Translation keys with a dynamic time reference (from an InfoObject) can only be used in the query definition. It is not possible to fill the InfoObject by a variable !
Translation keys getting their target currency from a currency attribute can only be selected in the query definition
When getting the dynamic reference from an InfoObject (p.eg. 0CALDAY) the currency translation will apply to each record read from the database. That means it will use the date in this record for the currency translation.
When using a variable you will restrict the output of your query to a certain amount of data. For example, you would translate all invoices of March 11 with the translation date March 11
This means, the requirement show me all invoices in my cube in group currency, conversion date: 14.07.2001 could not be solved by a variable input for 0CALDAY
I hope this would help...
with regards,
hari

Curr Translation in Query for Current rate

My requirement is to have a fixed target currency as USD, and convert that to local currency (multiple as applicable for each record) after query execution.
So I selected the KF in the query with Conversion type = 0MEANTODAY. and Target curr = USD.
then i execute the query to get values in USD. Now when i right click and uncheck the box which says " Consider Currency translation from Query Definition" ; I get all the values in Local currency.
the problem is - this conversion is not picking up current exchange rate - it's picking the one for past week.
What am I doing wrong here and how can i resolve this without any backend development ?

Thanks Veerendra for the input although that did not resolve my issue.
you're saying I should check the data is in Sync between the ECC and BI system - right ? - I will do that.
But i tried to tie back the exchange rate that the report output is giving with TCURR in NBI , TCURR in ECC and V_TCURR in ECC. It does not match up with any of these. that's what's bothering me - that where is it really reading the exchange rate from ?
Thanks,
Shweta

Group Currency Exchange rate type.

Hi
We wanted to post a foreign currency document, with a specific Exchange rate, that is specified in the Document type.
Doument Currency is getting converted into Local Currency (Company code currency) based on the exchange rate type specifed in the Document type used for posting.
But, the Group Currency is getting converted from Document currency based on the Exchange rate type : "M" but based on the Exchange rate type specified in the Document type.
Is there any way, apart from specifying Exchange rate type in Parallel Currencies.
We wanted the conversion of Both Local (Company code) & Group currencies be converted based on the Exchange rate type specified in the document type, for some specific postings.
Following is our Scenario :
Co.Code Cur - EUR
Doc.Cur          GBP
Grp Cur           USD
Document type : XY -- Exchange rate type "1111" specified in the document type.
Now when a document is posted with Document type "XY" in Document Cur : GBP.
Both Local & Grp currency to be converted based on the Exchange rate type " 1111".
Thanks
Kalyan

Hello Kaylan,
I will try to explain the system behavior, regarding to the exchange
rate question, "M" is standard exchange rate type used in R/3 so it's
not possible to change this default setting. However you can assign the
exchange rate type to each FI document type at transaction OBA7. The
exchange rate type assigned here applies to both online/batch postings.
Therefore you can assign a different exchange rate type to the document
types, but not per company code. The exchange rate that you customize at
document type level is validfor the first local currency. However, for
parallel currencies, the system will always use the exchange rate type
defined in transaction OB22. Please, check your customizing there to
check your changes.
If you want to use exchange rate type B, for example, instead of M, in
customizing you have to give Alt Ex.Type as B against M. So that it will
take B rate whenever M is applicable. If you want this B rate to be
applicable for specific document types then you can do the same at
document type definition itself. Otherwise you can do the same at
payment program level/ Revaluation. These are the only places where
exchange type comes into picture.

Intercompany billing exchange rate is not updated on change of the currency

Hi,
I create a intercompany billing via VF01 with reference to a outbound delivery, and the currency is picking up from the customer master which is USD. But I need to change the currency to be the same as the PO which is GBP. So I change the currency field from USD to GBP in VF01 (both header and item level), the exchange rate field remain unchanged and still showing the USD rate instead, and the price is wrong.
Anyone know what happend to this? Appreciate your advice.
Thanks,
YH

Hi Damu,
Once you change the header currency, line item currency will be changed also.
My problem is even I've change the currency to let say GBP, the exchange rate shown in the billing document is still in USD rate, but NOT in GBP rate.
