Currency translation process

Hi All,
can any one let me know what is process for currency conversion in Hfm and how to do it pls provide steps to do .
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
SM.

Hi,
one possibility: create a LSMW project for T-Code OB08. Maintain this only in Production-client and distribute the FX rates using ALE (RFALEX00).
I am sure there are many other opportunities.
Best regards, Christian

BPC 7.5 NW - Exchange Rates & Currency Translation

Hello All,
I have a couple of questions regarding the BPC currency translation process.
1. We have two options to store the exchange rates - either as a direct quote or as an indirect quote. How are the exchange rates stored in the BPC system?
2. We have a property called "MD" in the InputCurrency dimension, which is used as a 'factor' in the currency translation process. I would like to know how this property is used, in conjunction with the direct/indirect method of maintaining the exchange rates.
As always, thanks for all your responses.
Best regards,
Van.

Thanks for the response. I do realize that we can enter the exchange rates either via a flat file or an Input Schedule, and also how the "MD" factor is utilized in the currency translation process.
I will try to rephrase my questions, as below:
1. In ECC, we have the option to maintain the exchange rates either as a direct rate or an indirect rate. Similary, I would like to know how the exchange rates are "_stored_" in the BPC system - as indirect quotations or direct quotations.
2. In addition, I would also like to know how the "MD" property in the InputCurrency dimension should be maintained. In other words, let us say that the exchange rates are stored as direct quotes. How do we maintain the "MD" property in the inputcurrency dimension for this exchange rate - M or D?
Hope my questions are a bit more clear now.
Appreciate all your responses.

How is Currency Translation Adjustment Implemented?

Hi,
How is currency translation adjustment implemented in SAP BPC 10.0? Is there any Business rule for it?
Sincerely,
Nicky

Hi Nicky,
Currency Translation is maintained from currency translation business rules from web client.
You should enter your input from LC(Local currency) member of rate type dimension in the planning model. Then should create a data package which uses sap given currency translation process chain.
Also you should maintain rates in rate type model which is used by planning model.
According to the rates you have maintained in rate model, running data package in planning model will calculate from LC to the target currency(USD, EUR etc.)
You maintain the target currency to be calculated in entity type dimension's FX property in the planning model. Also you should maintain RATETYPE property in the account type dimension of planning model as AVG or CLO for P&L and Assets-Liabilities-Equity members respectively,
Maintain your package's logic script file as SAP standard process chain required.
Hope these helps,
Thanks,
Mahir,

Error while running FX restatement process for currency translation

Hi Experts,
I am facing errors while trying to run FX_Restatement process to do currency translation.
I am having the error: RUN_LOGIC:Member u201CXXXu201D not exist => where XXX is any currency I am trying to convert.
Below is the script logic (FXTRANS.LGF)used.
*RUN_PROGRAM CURR_CONVERSION
      CATEGORY     = %FX_CATEGORY_SET%
      CURRENCY     = %FX_INPCURRENCY_SET%
      TID_RA = %FX_TIME_SET%
      OTHER = [ENTITY=%FX_ENTITY_SET%]
      RATEENTITY = GLOBAL
      //For More than one other scope parameters: OTHER = [ENTITY=%FX_ENTITY_SET%;INTCO=%INTCO_SET%...]
*ENDRUN_PROGRAM
I am working on BPC 7.5 NW version.
Can you help us with this?

For the currency you are converting to: XXX
INPUTCURRENCY dimension must have XXX as a member with "REPORTING" property set to "Y"
and
RPTCURRENCY dimension must have XXX as a member with "REPORTING" property set to "Y" and "CURRENCY_TYPE" property set to "R"
It needs to be in both dimensions with the right properties. INPUTCURRENCY is the currency dimension in the RATE cube, RPTCURRENCY is the currency dimension in the financial or consolidations cube.

ECCS - Currency Translation CX40: Rounding entry 060: Cannot process item

Hi Gurus,
we found an error when executing CX40 (currency translation) in ECCS module.
Message here:
Rounding entry 060: Cannot process item set Z1CSZ1-6000
Message no. G0454
Diagnosis
The prerequisite for processing rounding entry 060 (item set 1: Z1CSZ1-6000) has not been met.
A difference of 11,085,205.37 in local currency was found.
Consider the following cases:
1. The rounding rule is defined for an item set.
In this case, the sum of the local currency values for the items in this set must equal zero.
2. The rounding rule is defined for an item set that is restricted to certain subitems and a second item set.
In this case, the sum of the local currency values for the items of the first item set, taking the restriction into account, and the items of the second item set must equal zero.
3. The rounding rule is defined for an item set (without restrictions to certain subitems) and for a second item set.
In this case, the sum of the local currency values from the first item set must coincide with the sum of the local currency values from the second item set.
The verification of rounding rules is executed per posting level and document type with the following exceptions:
Posting levels Space, 00, 01 and 08 are grouped together. Any differences which might arise in local currency appear as differences in posting level 00.
System Response
Rounding cannot take place.
Currency translation produces errors.
Procedure
Check the rounding entry and the associated totals records.
I have checked the settings in CXD1. it seems fine.
In CXD1,
CSZ1-5000     Income Statement
CSZ1-1000     Balance Sheet
CSZ1-6000     Balance Sheet & Income Statement -
for rounding entry
and set CSZ1-6000 contains CSZ1-5000 and CSZ1-1000.
we have no idea how to proceed.
Much appreciated if you could kindly help me with this.
Many thanks!

In my experience this usually occurs after the data collection is re-executed and the contra-RE task is not. Therefore, my first suggestion is to re-execute the contra-RE task and the try translation again.

General Ledger - Revaluation/Translation Process Question

Application Release Version: 11.5.10.2
MRC: Not turned on for new entities. (See details below)
My customer has been using oracle from around 2001 and went through a process at the end of 2008 to setup a new chart of accounts and approx 6 different companies with multiple entities for each across different functional currencies. (The initial setup for these entities was done prior to my joining and I have no supporting documentation on what decisions were made and why.)
Setup info:
Set of Books - 'Cumulative Translation Adjustment Account' defined as an 'Owners Equity Account'.
Revaluation - Gains and Loss accounts using the same account number as 'Cumulative Translation Adjustment Account'. Accounts being revalued are accounts that have outstanding Payables and Receivables balances as well
as our intercompany accounts that have outstanding balances. (Balances that need to be payed or received.)
Question:
My question refers to the revaluation and translation process for the new entites that have a different functional currency from the reporting currency. (All under the same chart of accounts structure.)
For instance entity1 - Functional Currency = 'CAD' and has 'USD' transactions.
I understand that at the period end we need to revalue the 'USD' transactions to there 'Current' worth in 'CAD' as exchange rates will fluctuate. But shouldn't the 'Difference', revaluation amounts, be pushed to the Unrealised FX Gains/Loss account, not the 'Cumulative Translation Adjustment Account'. (I think this is normally only used when a company is using MRC?)
This obviously affects whether the period balance appears on the Balance Sheet or Income Statement report for the consolidated monthly report.
Also should these 'Revaluation' journals ever be reversed or just left to accumulate?
Then looking at the 'Translation' process, if value is pushed to the 'Cumulative Translation Adjustment Account' then the balance is translated based on the 'Average' period rate as the account is an 'Owners Equity Account', but this seems wrong for the 'Revaluation' balance to be converted at another rate?
Any help on this subject will be greatly appreciated.

Firstly, why would there be any difference between the total of customer/vendor sub-ledger balances and the balance on the reconciliation account(s)? The posting to the reconciliation account is happening automatically right, when you are posting to a customer/vendor (basing on the reconciliation account assigned in the customer/vendor master)? And system would not allow direct postings to reconciliation accounts, which eliminates the threat of reconciliation GL account going out of balance as compared to the sub-ledger accounts.
However, you can run FBL3N or FS10N for the reconciliation account(s) and match it with the total balance on all customers/vendors using transaction FBL5N/FBL1N.

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.

Currency Translation not working with "Time Reference from Variable"

We have created several Currency Translations using RSCUR with a fixed "Key Date". All have been working fine until we got the request to allow a variable date for the exchange rate date. I have built a variable on 0DATE which I am putting a default date value into using user exit. This default date is the SAME date as the fixed "Key Date" which we have been using. Unfortunately when we use the "Time Reference from Variable" option and use this new variable, no currency conversion is taking place, instead it only shows the original currency values. I am 100% sure that my variable is getting a value and it is the same date we are using for the fixed "Key Date" value so both methods should be using the exact same exchange rates. The documentation that I can find states:
●      Time reference: The time reference for the currency translation can be either fixed or variable.
If the time reference is fixed, the time at which the exchange rate is determined is independent of the data. You have the following options:
○       You can establish that the time reference be determined upon translation.
○       You can select the current date.
○       You can specify a fixed date as the key date.
○       You can specify any variable that exists for InfoObject 0DATE.
○       You can establish that the query key date be used. This is determined in the query settings.
In my case I am only switching from option "You can specify a fixed date as the key date"=(Key Date) to "You can specify any variable that exists for InfoObject 0DATE"=(Time Reference from Variable).
What am I missing? Any help is appreciated.

I neglected to mention that we are calling this currency translation through a WAD button using the SET_CURRENCY_TRANSLATION command. I did do a test by applying the currency conversion within query key figure. This seems to work. So it appears the issue is with how the WAD is processing the variable, not the query. When I display the variable in a drop down item within the WAD it does have the default value that I have assigned in user exit.

Currency Translation for Calculated Key figures

Hello Friends I want to use the Currency Translation for Calculated Key figures.
But when I go to Query and go to conversion tab it is always greyed out. Does that mean we can set the fixed conversion type for calculated key figures. like ZSAD Total debit - credit -flow value.
What is the way to do fixed currency translation in query for calculated key figures.
All the below is done now just want to specify this in query but I can'nt since it is greyed out.
All the below is done
I have created a Currency Translation Type " FiscperConversion" "ZVHGR" now this has Exchange Rate Type from Variable "ZVARN" (Which is a variable single value manual input on 0RTYPE Infoobject for exchange rate.)
2. Now Currency Tab: Target Currency is selected from Variable placed in the Report. ZRPVAR.
3. Now the Variable Time Reference is used. Standard Infoobject 0FISCPER
which is beginning of period.

Hi soniya
Your calculated KF is result of some calculation ...so system will not allow u to do any translation on it...to get CT on CKF you should do it on base key figure...still if you wish to do then you can create a formula variable having processing type a customer exit...write code in cmod to rad exchange rate and multiply ur CKF by this formula variable....
Thanks

EBS currency translation not "posting date"

Hello,
We implemented EBS ealier this year. The currency translation date on the FF_5 postings is taking the "document date" and not the "posting date" when determining which currency exchange rate to use. This is only an issue for a couple days at month end when the document date is in the current month, but the posting date is in the prior month.
What do we need to do to change the currency selection back to "posting date". I have never seen SAP use anything but posting date. I have tried reviewing all the configuration of doc type and other set up during EBS implementation and cannot see how we have triggered this date.
Any help appreciated.

Morgan

2) Run Fx Translations (it worked well as expected)
3) Run Carry forward to 2011.DEC with LC and USD
4) Loaded LC YTD Trial Balance for 2011.NOV
5) Run Validation report with local currency (my balance sheet looks good for openingbalance, current period activities and closing balance)
6) Run Validation report in USD for Opening balance, Still it balances for opening balance as its carry forwarded from previous period.
7) Run Fx translation package for DEC.2011
8) after FX translation my balance sheet is out of balance.
Error:
My Balancesheet is out of balance after running Currency translations when we have opening balances. it is out of balance with the amount for the same for the opening balance. I mean before running currency translation for opening balance total for balancesheet items is zero but after running currency translations the opening balance is out of balance and CLosing balance sheet is also out with same dollar number.
I am assuming the force close option is not working correctly. When we are on SP05 I remember it was working without any issue.
I appreciate if any comments on this issue.
Thanks,
Sri

Hi. On #1, try force translating these entities on their own. If that works, then I would call support about the all entities process not working. On #2, most people don't bother clearing the data after translating - just update it as needed. If you really want to clear it, you'll need an if/then in your calculate subroutine that runs the clear when at the reporting currency.

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.

Skip currency translation for certain data source members

I have got percentage data againist some data source members which I do want to translate when the currency translation is executed. Is there a way to achieve this? The business rules for currency translations only have account and flow dimensions and does not include data source dimension so I am not able to filter out datasource dimension members in currency translation business rules.
Any suggestion how it may be possible to filter data source member during currency translation execution?
Thanks in advance.

Hi there,
You can use the *XDIM_MEMBERSET with the DATASRC dimension to limit what data gets translated (7.0 M SP9)
Please see [Note 1522149|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1522149] - XDIM_MEMBERSET can be used with DataSrc in Business Rule
Also, the IS_CONVERTED property in the DataSrc dimension can also be used:
The IS_CONVERTED property
The members of the DATASRC dimension will be processed according to the value of the property IS_CONVERTED, as per the following rules:
IS_CONVERTED = N: These members are ignored in the conversion
IS_CONVERTED = Y: These members are converted from LC into the desired currency
IS_CONVERTED = G (group): These members are copied from the reporting currency of the GROUP being translated into the currency member corresponding to the given group.
This obviously only applies if the translation is run for a GROUP and not for a reporting currency.
All members of the DATASRC dimension having the property IS_CONVERTED not set to u2018Yu2019 will be skipped.
Thanks,
John

Need help in currency translation

Hi all;
I am using this program RSIMPCURR for currency translation in my process chain, it was working in Dev but when I transfer this into QA it's not working because the varient I am using for this is still using source system in for Dev. ; I need to change the source system for the QA system, Anyone knows how to change?
I went to SE38 and type the program RSIMPCURR and click on the varients but don't see any place where I can change the source system name.
Any help would be rewarded.
Thank you.
Krishma

hi Krishma,
normally qa and production are set as 'production' where direct changes are not allowed. perhaps now your qa is opened for changes. also you will need the source system mapping for datasource transport since normally our bw dev and bw qa will have different names. so still you need maintain this later.
take a look this transport tips, the source system mapping is mentioned there.
