Shankell

hello experts,
I think I have confused you.
I would like to know under <b>what circumstances</b> do we need to convert currency translation ratio for currency translation?
When is currency conversion factor of TCURF used?
What is it used for.
There is currency conversion key, translation key, exchange rates. But what is currency conversion factor in TCURF used for? Any one has any idea?
Would you be able to advise?

Translation Ratio - Currencies

What is Translation Ration in currency Translation?
In the Translation Ratio, config step, I am saying the ratio 1 USD equals to 100 YEN in Ratio - what does it means?

Hi
There is the concept of Direct quotation & Indirect quotation.
Eg.,
If your company code currency is USD, you want to map it with INR (Foreign Currency) , then you have to define a pair of currency set as INR:USD = 1:1.
You have to define the exchange rates as:
If you want to define under Direct quotation method= 0.45000 (exchange rate) (Local currency to Foreign Currency comparision)
or If you want to define under indirect quotation method = 45.000 (exchange rate) (Foreign currency to Local currency comparision).
For more details you can refer: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/2d/830e405c538f5ce10000000a155106/frameset.htm

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

Currency translation for key figure in bex not working.

Hi friends,
i want to do currency translation for key figure(invoice value in local currency).
i have followed the steps as under:
1st Transferring Global Table Contents: Currencies from R/3 Systems
2nd than transfer exchange rate - from r/3 to bi
3 than In SPRO settings of BW there is option "consider translation ratios in translation"
4th than used transaction RSCUR for creating currency translation type: parameter(exchange rate:m, soure currency fom data records, target currency ISK, time ref: current date)
5th than in BEX query designer have sated this for key figure
but when i run query in RSRT, curreny amount not getting convert?
am i missing any step?
pl. guide.
thanks dushyant.

Hi Dushyant,
Are these steps followed in Query designer??
In the Query designer, for that particular key figure property, under Conversion tab >> Currency Translation >> Conversion Type, select the currency translation type you created in RSCUR.
And in the target currency, select accordingly.
If you are going to use a variable, use the following link..

Message no. 06211 Currency translation error in net price calculation

Hi,
When i am creating purchase order i am changing currency from INR to JPY for FOB condition type only, And system issuing error message Currency translation error in net price calculation. Document currency is INR.
When i am using USD i am not getting this error.
I have checked table OB08 and both conversion maintained INR to JPY AND JPY to INR valid from 01.01.2012
Any solution for this please.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, Check in T-code M/08 for your import prizing procedure,what have you maintained for subtotal for gross price condition (PBXX,PB00), Maintain over there as '9', also for JPY currency there is issue with decimal also, ratio maintained in 100:1 ratio.

Lost translation ratios in BCS

Hi,
we are using the curency conversion functionality in BCS 4.0. Exchange rates, exchange rates types and indicators as well as translation ratios have been defined in the system. However the system "forgets" the translation ratios in every new period and they have to be entered again. This also happens with past periods.
Thank you for any hints.
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
I may suggest that you use a currency with indirect quotation.
In this is the case, enter translation ratios for BOTH quotations, for example:
YourCurrency to USD as 1:1
and
USD to YourCurrency as 1:1.
Certainly, ratios might be not 1:1 in your case.
Hope it helps,
Eugene

Standard Currency translation behaviour

Dear All,
We are using standard currency translation planning function for converting amounts from EUR to INR with exchange rate type M.
In the TCURR table, I have exchange rates maintained from USD to EUR and from USD to INR. But, there is no direct exchange rate maintained from EUR to INR.
I would like to know, how the translation will be done in this case. I thought it would first convert from EUR to USD and then from USD to INR. But when I check the records after translation, this is not the case.
Any suggestions?
Regards,
Srinivas Kamireddy.

Dear Mayank/Srinivas,
Maintained the reference currency as 'USD' for the currency translation exchange rate type 'M'.
We are using the standard currency translation planning function to convert the currency values. Also converting the values based on the beginning of the month exchange rates.
The values in TCURR are as follows:
Client Exch.rate type From currency To-currency Valid from Exchange Rate Ratio (from) Ratio (to)
100    M              USD           EUR         01.09.2007 0.73400               1            1
100    M              USD           INR         15.03.2008 42.00000              0            0
100    M              USD           INR         07.03.2008 35.00000              0            0

100    M              USD           INR         01.02.2008 45.00000              0            0
100    M              USD           INR         05.12.2007 20.00000              0            0
100    M              USD           INR         06.11.2007 20.00000              0            0

The incoming record has the value 1,866.67 EUR for the period 001.2008. This value needs to be converted to INR. After running the currency translation planning function 1866.67 EUR is translated to 82,450.81 INR. Not able to trace how this calculation from EUR to INR has been done.
Pls advise on how this conversion has taken place based on which exchange rates.

Currency translation IDR to EUR

Hi
I got below error please suggest me
Calculated conversion rate 16.422,14112 is too big
Message no. SG119
Diagnosis
The exchange rate 16.422,14112 was calculated via the base currency EUR. This produced a rate which exceeds the maximum allowed value of 9999.99999.
System response
The processing can not be continued because the calculated rate can not be used.
Procedure
Check the conversion rate to the base currency EUR and the exchange rate type M. If the rates are correct, you must agree different conversion factors for the currencies in question (e.g. 100:1 instead of 1:1), so that the resulting conversion rate does not exceed the value 9999.99999.
As per standard i have maintained the translation ratio : IDR to EUR : 10,000 : 1. Wherein if i maintain 1 : 1 ratio the system is processing without error. But logically that is not right. We are maintained as direct quote. We are unable to create any PR.
Kindly give ur valuable feedback

What are translation ratios?

Hi,
What are translation ratios and how does it differ from the exchange rates maintained. I understand that exchange rates can be maintained for every two currencies, then why is translation ratios required in SAP? In what scenarios does translation ratios come to use.... My faint understanding is that it is maintained for non-dominant currencies wherein the exchange rates is erratic and hence cannot be maintained. So it can be derived using translation ratios........
Please throw light on this.
Regards
SATYA

Hi,
Please, read the explanation from SAP (the relevant transaction is OBBS):
In this activity, you enter the translation ratios for currency translation. You enter these ratios for each exchange rate type and currency pair. You also specify whether you want to use an alternative exchange rate type for specific currency pairs.
Example
As of 01/01/1999 the exchange rate for DEM to FRF will be calculated via EUR. To translate amounts enter:
01/01/1999 in the Valid from field:
The exchange rate type under which the exchange rates of the European national currencies are stored in the Alt. ERT field:

Currency translation, valuation and coversion

Hi Experts,
Please let me know what is the diffrence between valuation, translation and conversion of currencies and how can it be done?
regards
kumar

Dear Kumar,
In IMG under
SAP Netweaver -> General Settings -> Currencies
-> Check Exchange Rate Types
Exchange rates for different purposes for the same date are defined in the system as exchange rate types.
If you need to carry out currency translations between a number of different currencies, you can simplify exchange rate maintenance by entering a base currency for the exchange rate type. Instead of entering translation rates between every single currency, you then only need specify the translation rate between each currency and the base currency. All currency translations then take place in two steps - into the base currency and from the base currency into the target currency.
The base currency is DEM. You want to translate FRF to CHF. To do this, the following entries must be made in the table for maintaining currency translation rates:
o Ratio for FRF -> DEM
o Ratio for CHF -> DEM
Translation from FRF to CHF is then carried out automatically. The translation is done as though this exchange rate (FRF -> CHF) was actually entered in the conversion table.
In this example, the base currency (DEM) is the To-currency and FRF or CHF the From-currency.
For exchange rate relations within the EU, it is a legal requirement that the base currency (EUR) is the From-currency. You set the indicator for this in the BCurr=from field.
SAP Netweaver -> General Settings -> Currencies
-> Enter Exchange RatesExchange rates are required to:
Translate foreign currency amounts when posting or clearing or to check an exchange rate entered manually
Determine the gain and loss from exchange rate differences
Evaluate open items in foreign currency and the foreign currency balance sheet accounts
The exchange rates are defined by period ("valid from").
The function has been improved. Choose the activity Define Exchange Rate Input Worklist or Assign Exchange Rate to Worklist.
The system uses the type M exchange rates for foreign currency translation when posting and clearing documents in the activity Enter Exchange Rate. An entry must exist in the system for this exchange rate type. The exchange rates apply to all company codes.
The exchange rate relations for currency conversion are only displayed here. Read the chapter Define Translation Ratios for information about exchange rate relations maintenance.
You define:
the rate types under which you want to store your exchange rates in the step
"Check Exchange Rate Type"
the required currency keys in the step "Check Currency Codes"
the conversion factors for
-   the currency pair
-   the exchange rate type
-   the date
in the step "Define the Conversion Factors for Currency Conversion"
Currency Valuation: - To create your financial statements, you have to perform a foreign currency valuation. This valuation covers the following accounts and items:
·        Foreign currency balance sheet accounts, that is, the G/L accounts that you run in foreign currency.
The balances of the G/L accounts that are not managed on an open item basis are valuated in foreign currency.
·        Open items that were posted in foreign currency.
Open items that are open on the key date are valuated in foreign currency.
You have the following options for the foreign currency valuation:
·        You can perform the valuation in local currency, (company code currency), or a parallel currency (for example, group currency).
·        You can also use different valuation methods (for example, lowest value principle).
·        If you want to translate additional currencies from the local currency, foreign currency valuation automatically performs a currency translation.

Naveen.

What should be the translation ratio between KRW and TWD

Hi,
What is the translation ratio between KRW and TWD I should maintain on transaction OBBS.
Please advise.
Thanks...
Ram.

Strictly speaking, the translation ratio depends upon what exchange rate you are comfortable with. One can only suggest - the System owner has to be the judge of what ratio they want to maintain the ratios at.
Due to the prevalent values for the two currencies, I suggest a ratio of KRW to TWD of 100 : 1.
Of course, that doesn't mean you can't use 10 : 1 - remember it's at best a recommendation / best practice.
Please remember to assign points if found useful.

Gulshan

Currency Translation on Key Date for AR Aging

Need your valuable advice!
I have created an AR Aging query including both Open and Cleared Items based on 0FIAR_C03_Q0005 standard query. However the requirement is to do currency translation to Group Currency (USD) on Key Date. This Key date is defaulted to today but the user can change this to go back in time and pull all the ARs as of that back dated key date.
I was planning to create a currency translation type on M rate based on the Key Date Variable in RSCUR. However I am confused on which variable to base this currency translation. I have several key date variables in my query such as 0P_KEYD2 (based on Posting Date), 0P_KEYDT (based on Net Due Date) and 0P_KEYD3 (based on Clearing Date).
Which Key Date Variable should I use in 'Time Reference from Variable' field in RSCUR? Would it be one of the 3 mentioned above or something else and why?
Appreciate your valuable advice.
Thanks,
Al

Hi,
Yes I do want to use the Key date from the variable screen and I am using the standard 0FIAR_C03_Q005 with slight modification including currency translation.
As I mentioned in my original post I have several key date variables in this query such as 0P_KEYD2 (based on Posting Date), 0P_KEYDT (based on Net Due Date) and 0P_KEYD3 (based on Clearing Date). My question is which one should I use if I want to base it on the specific key date variable from the variable screen? I need the specific Key Date variable technical name.
Thanks,
Al

Use of BAdi UC_CTR_XRPROC in Currency Translation

Hi All,
Has anyone experience of the BAdi for determining Exchange Rate in BCS?
In BCS you have the option of customising the Procedure for Exchange Rate Determination by using a Badi, my current client has configured a custom one but I can't view the configuration (due to authorisation frustrations), so I can see that something has been selected but can't see what it is.
Selected Info from SAP BCS help:
You can create additional procedures for exchange rate determination in the customer namespace. The custom procedures, along with the standard procedures, are offered for selection in Customizing of currency translation methods.
If you specify a parameter when creating a procedure for exchange rate determination, this parameter is also offered for selection when the procedure is listed.
At the time of execution, whenever a custom procedure for exchange rate determination is encountered, the system calls the Business Add-In for exchange rate determination ( UC_CTR_XRPROC). There you can freely determine the exchange rate for each data record being translated.
Also:
The E/R determination procedure is the second-last step for determining the value in target currency. (The last step is the currency translation procedure, for which there is also another Business Add-In, UC_CTR_CTPROC.) At this point, the data records to be translated are accessible, and the date of exchange rate determination is known.
All help will be much appreciated

Thanks Eugene,
it appears to have been implemented at one of my current clients but I can't work out what it's doing.
An old, incomplete configuration document indicates that they were trying to stop the GC figure being updated unless Currency Translation Indicator <> 0 (ie RFD record is not updated by Currency Translation task, GC values are only posted to new records with CT Indicator >0)

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 Warning

HI,
I created a query and used currency translation for the key fields. When I execute the query it throws a warning message for all fields in column saying
'Currency Translation cannot be carried out for element 67/XXX'
where XXX is the column name. I have checked the translation used and it is correct and I have used the same one for all the fields. Can someone shed some light on this problem?
