Currency translation - time reference

Hi
It is possible to create custom type of time reference for currency translation?
I would like to inplement translation using 0CALDAY with offset (seven days back).
There are only "To the exact day".
Regards
Adam

hi,
     You have to Create Your own currency translation type by using Transaction RSCUR.
      There u can give the time refrence based on ur criteria.You can also use variables if u want.
     Once u have created yuor own currency translation type you can use it from Report -> Properties -> currency translation.
     However You can do this only if Your Server is updated by the Latest exchange rates in Table TUCRR.

  • 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,

    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.

  • Currency Translation Using 'Time Reference'

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

  • 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.

  • Can I run the currency translation for multiple years at the same time?

    Dear Friends,
    I set up currency translation on our BPC NW 7.0 system and it is working fine ONLY if I run it for any one year at a time. But if I select multiple years in the data package (FX Restatment) selection it only calculates for the first year in that selection.
    say if I run the data package for years: 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, it only performs currency translation for the year 2009.
    Can I run the currency translation for multiple years at the same time ?
    Note: The year is determined from the YEAR property of the "Time" dimension
    appreciate any inputs,
    thanks

    You can run currency translation for multiple years.
    I think the problem it is actually related to how you are sending the parameter to currency translation script.
    Just review the script logic log and you will see with what parameters was called currency translation FXTrans.
    My expectation is that actually the script is called just with first year and that's the problem.
    Log of script logic you can find it into:
    C:\BPC|DATA\Webfolder\YourAppset\YourApplication\Private Publications\Users used to run logic\Temp

  • 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.

  • Currency Translation with different time dependencies

    Hello,
    I'd like to use different currency translations within my query.
    Values of the time period 01.2006-07.2006 should be converted
    1. with the exchange rates 01.2006-07.2006 (done)
    2. with the current exchange rate 01.2007-07.2007
    The problem is that I don't know how I can manage the second step. It would be easy if I had one period per column but I need  to show several months in 1 column....
    Does anyone have an idea?
    Best regards,
    Thomas Markus

    is table TCURR maintained in R/3 with the exchange rates you want and the proper date ranges?
    Then, is that table imported in BW?
    If you answered yes to both, I'm not too sure what the issue is, can yopu clarify?

  • Problem with currency translation and variable time ref. with 0FISCPER

    Hello,
    We have a problem with a currency conversion with a variable time reference (as iobject we use 0fiscper)
    We created a currency conversion for several key fig:
    Our settings:
    Exchange rate Type: EURX
    dynamic ex rate determination
    Source cur from datarecord
    Fixed Target Curr (EUR)
    Variable time ref.: End of Period
    Special Infoobject: 0fiscper
    When we run the DTP we get the following error:
    <i>Enter rate GBP / EUR rate type EURX for 00.00.0000 in the system settings.</i>
    ending the DTP in a message type X.
    In table TCURR and T009/T009B all necessary information is available.
    After debugging the function module, it looks like the created date (created from the FISCPER) is set to 00.00.0000. This results in the error above.
    Does anybody have experience with this error and more important know how to solve it?
    We also have a 0FISCYEAR available but in the TCURR table al rates are defined per end of the month. When trying to use 0FISCYEAR as InfoObject in the variable time reference, a diffrent error occurs:  Enter rate GBP / EUR rate type EURX for 01.01.1001 in the system settings. While  the 0FISCPER is 2001001.
    Is there a bug in the function module? (couldn't find a SAP note)
    We are working with BI 7.0 and SP12
    Best regards
    Steven

    Please can you give more detail on how you were able to resolve this issue?  How did you add 0fiscper to the transformation?  I am on BW 3.5, how do I fix this same issue on it?  Please help, this is urgent.

  • Reference column in currency translation

    Hi experts,
    Anybody knows, What is the reference column on the currency translation for ?
    Regards

    The translation occurs first at the reference rate and subsequently at the specific rate. When there are differences between the two the totals records indicate this difference with the translation indicator value, which is typically 1, but may be 2 or 3 in the case of temporal methods.

  • 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,

  • Currency translation problem

    Dear All,
    I am trying to create  the currency translation type and use it in the Bex Designer. But its not converting the values at all.
    Output required:-
    Need to convert all INR values to fixed USD currency. Source currency is always INR and target currency is always USD.
    But customer i going to give us the exchange rate for everymonth and we need to apply the latest exch rate depending upon when user is running the report. We are planning to store the rates in some z table as of testing we are accessing tcurr table.
    Case:-
    Say user is running report as on today then last month rate(july month rate) needs to be picked up.
    Say user is running report today but viewing report data as of May only then also latest rate i.e July month rate needs to be picked up and applied.
    Backend activities while creating translation type:-
    Exchange rate type :- M
    Source curr:- Source curr from data rec.
    Target curr:- Fixed target curr - USD.
    Time reference :- Variable time reference , Begining of period, standard infoobject i.e 0FISCPER.
    I am not very sure on what values needs to be selected for Time reference tab in order to achieve my case.
    Frontend activities:-
    Using the same key figure and changing the currency translation properties.
    Reqeust you to give ur inputs on this.
    Thanks & Rgds,
    Anup

    Hi Mansi,
    Thank you very much . I am now able to select my variable.
    But one small concern. Now after creating the currency translation type i just need to maintain the rate in tcurr table rite?
    My value would for tcurr table would be;-
    M INR USD 20090701 47.095
    M INR USE 20090601 460258
    Use this variable in Bex Designer.
    Is there any other area which we need to take care of.
    Thanks & Rgds,

  • 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 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?
