Currency translation using 2 infoobjects as time reference ?

Hello ,
I have a simple requirement
i want to use fiscyear/period as time reference in RSCUR. but in the aggregation level on which my Query is based , i only have fiscyear & posting period. & i cant add any more char to my query/agggregation level.
how can i do this ?
thanks

Any help pls , guys ?

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 using 0HRFIXCUR

We are trying to translate various Document currencies into a unique local currency (USD) .
We are trying to achieve this at the query. The currency translation type used is 0HRFIXCUR which converts all the other currencies other than USD to USD.
The problem is that when we are trying to convert the currency from EUR to USD its picking up an exhchange rate which is absurd. The rate as per TCURR and OB08 is 1 EURO = 1.49 $ but its picking the value as 1 EURO = 0.9399 $ .
I have seen some posts in the forums but have no clarity as to what has to be done.
Kindly share your views on this.
Thanks.

Thanks Dave.
But my TCURR table does'nt contain any value like that for exchange rate type M which the translation key 0HRFIXCUR is using.

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 Type in queries using currency conversion

I have a question on the Currency Translation Type (EUR_VAR) that is used in all of the queries using currency conversion on the fly. (currency is maintained automatically nor in table.)
User wants to use 2 different exchange rates in a single query. The months in 2010 (Actuals) are to
be converted using Xchangerate-type EURO and the months in 2011 (Planned) to use Xchangerate-type USD.
But store different rates with different starting dates. This is however not possible because the Currency Translation
Type is set-up (1) to work with Query Key date - rather than a characteristic in the data and (2) apparently these
currency translation types only work with time characteristics like 0fiscyear
My idea is therefor to:
1. Create a new variable (similar to EXC_RATE) to prompt for a 2nd Exchange Rate type when query starts
2. Create a new Currency Translation Type (next to EUR_VAR), referencing the new variable or sticking to fixed Xrate type, fixed to EUR
Is this possible to create Idea (2)
Many Thanks in Advance.

The best way would be to create two curr conversion types , one converting to EUR and other to USD .Put them in properties of coressponding KFs in query.For timref in RSCUR , variable time ref can be used individually for two conv types.

Show Currency Translation Type

Hi,
I don't know if it's possible but I want to see te currency translation type that I use in a query. For example, If a user make a currency translation it's possible to catch the currency and the currency translation type that he choose and show them :
- in the title ?
- in a column or in a text item of my default web template ?
Thanks for your help
Aleksi

Hi,
The parameters that determine the exchange rate are the source and target currencies, exchange rate type and the time reference for the translation.
To define a translation type you have to define the exchange rate type, the time reference, and how and when the inverse exchange rate is used. Entering the target currency is optional.
●      Exchange rate type: The exchange rate type distinguishes between exchange rates that are valid in the same time frame, for example, the bid rate, ask rate or middle rate. The exchange rate types are stored in a central table (TCURV) and can by maintained in Customizing using BI Customizing Implementation Guide ® General Settings ® Currencies ® Check Currency Types. Alternatively you can specify any variable that exists for InfoObject 0RTYPE.
●      Inverse exchange rate: You can choose whether the inverse exchange rate is to be used for the translation type. If you choose translation with the inverse exchange rate, then the reverse exchange rate is used in the relevant translation from one currency to another. Translation using the inverse exchange rate is useful, for example, when values from the original documents have been translated before being saved in the data targets and you want to restore the original values.
You have maintained the following exchange rates:
EUR ® USD 0.940
USD ® EUR 1.070
When translating from USD to EUR using the inverse exchange rate, a rate of 1/0.940 = 1.064 is used and not a rate of 1.070.
●      Source currency: The source currency is the currency that is to be translated. You have the following options:
○       The source currency is determined dynamically using the data record. This is always the case when you perform currency translation in the Business Explorer.
○       The source currency is determined dynamically using a specified InfoObject (characteristic). During the data load process, the source currency can be determined either using the data record or a specified characteristic bearing master data (see example: Defining Target Currencies Using InfoObjects. Determining the source currency using an InfoObject is performed in the same way).
○       You can use a fixed source currency in planning functions. Data records with the same currency key as the source currency are translated.
○       You can specify any variable that exists for InfoObject 0CURRENCY. You can also use these options in planning functions.
●      Target currency:
To determine the target currency, you have the following options:
○       You can establish that the target currency be determined upon translation. In the Query Designer under the properties for the relevant key figure, you specify either a fixed target currency or a variable to determine the target currency.
○       You can enter a fixed target currency (for example, EUR).
○       You can specify any variable that exists for InfoObject 0CURRENCY.
○       In the currency translation type, you can specify an InfoObject which is used to determine the target currency upon translation. In characteristic maintenance on the Tab Page: Business Explorer, you have to determine a currency attribute. For more information, see the example under Defining Target Currencies Using InfoObjects. If the Only Use in Transformation indicator is set, you can also enter InfoObjects that do not have a currency attribute set in InfoObject maintenance. InfoObjects that are entered here have to be available in the source and contain a currency as an attribute.
○       You can specify an InfoSet: This is only necessary if you are determining the target currency using an InfoObject that exists in the InfoSet more than once. You enter the field alias so that the InfoObject can be specified uniquely.
●      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.
If the time reference is variable, the time at which the exchange rate is determined is decided by a time characteristic value.
○       A variable time reference can, for example, be determined using the end or start of a fiscal year or calendar year, a period and a month or even to the exact day. The following standard time characteristics are available: 0FISCYEAR, 0FISCPER, 0CALYEAR, 0CALQUARTER, 0CALMONTH, 0CALWEEK and 0CALDAY.
○       The time reference can also be determined using a customer-specific InfoObject of type date (for example, trading day). Note that this InfoObject has to have the same properties as the standard InfoObject selected in the variable time reference or must reference it.
○       You can specify an InfoSet: This is only necessary if you are determining the target currency using an InfoObject that exists in the InfoSet more than once. You enter the field alias so that the InfoObject can be specified uniquely.
In the Business Explorer, you can only set time variable currency translations in query definition, and not for an executed query. See also Setting Variable Target Currency in the Query Designer.
○       In the Time Adjustment field of type INT4, you can specify whole numbers with a +/- sign.
○       In the Time Adjustment from Variable field, you can specify formula variables (1FORMULA). As these values of the variables may have to be whole numbers, they are rounded to whole numbers (integers) where necessary.
The time adjustment (regardless of whether it is fixed or variable) is always related to the InfoObject specified under Variable Time Reference.
Example of a time adjustment of -3:
The variable time reference is To the exact day and the InfoObject under Variable Time Reference is 0CALDAY. Instead of 07.11.2006, after the time adjustment, 04.11.2006 is used for the translation.
The variable time reference is End of Week and the InfoObject under Variable Time Reference is 0CALWEEK. Instead of 52.2004, the week 49.2004 is calculated and the end date is calculated from this.

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.

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 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.

Query Question - Linking in Time Span Data to Point-in-Time References

I am trying to pull historical data from a time-span table of records, using another point-in-time reference. I have been unsuccessful.
I've thrown some sample tables and data together to illustrate what I am seeking:
Create Table EmployeeInfo (
       id Number(10,0),               -- Employee ID Number
       Name VarChar2(32 Byte),        -- Employee Name
       CurrentShift VarChar2(2 Byte) -- Current Employee Shift
Create Table ShiftChanges (
       id Number(10,0),               -- Employee ID that this shift change record is for
       ChangeDate Date,               -- Date that this Change Took Place
       OldShift VarChar2(2 Byte),
       NewShift VarChar2(2 Byte)
Create Table TimeCard(
       id Number(10,0),               -- Employee ID Number for this Timecard
       WorkDay Date,                  -- What Day is this Timecard for?
       Hours Float(63)                -- Number of Hours worked.
COMMIT;
INSERT INTO EmployeeInfo VALUES (100,'John Doe','Days')
INSERT INTO EmployeeInfo VALUES (101,'Jane Doe','Days');
INSERT INTO TimeCard VALUES (100, to_date('01012010','ddmmyyyy'), 10.5);
INSERT INTO TimeCard VALUES (101, to_date('01012010','ddmmyyyy'), 10);
INSERT INTO TimeCard VALUES (100, to_date('02012010','ddmmyyyy'), 9);
INSERT INTO TimeCard VALUES (101, to_date('02012010','ddmmyyyy'), 10.5);
INSERT INTO TimeCard VALUES (100, to_date('03012010','ddmmyyyy'), 8);
INSERT INTO TimeCard VALUES (101, to_date('03012010','ddmmyyyy'), 7);
INSERT INTO ShiftChanges VALUES (100, to_date('02012010','ddmmyyyy'), 'Nights', 'Days');
COMMIT;I could do a query such as:
SELECT TC.id,
       EM.Name,
       TC.Workday,
       EM.CurrentShift AS Shift
FROM   TimeCard TC,
       EmployeeInfo EM
WHERE (TC.ID=EM.ID(+));But it will not give me the historical shift, only the current. Since John Doe changed shifts on Jan 2 from Nights to Days, the above query would not reflect it.
I have attempted to join the historical table using a less-than operator. This doesn't work since more than one row can be returned.
SELECT TC.id,
       EM.Name,
       TC.Workday,
       SC.NewShift AS Shift
FROM   TimeCard TC,
       EmployeeInfo EM,
       ShiftChanges SC
WHERE (TC.ID=EM.ID(+)) AND
       (TC.ID=SC.ID(+) AND TC.WORKDAY<=SC.WORKDAY(+));The problem stems from the fact that you need to examine multiple records in one table in order to obtain the correct historical data for the other.
The following SQL script {color:green}does work{color} - if the values are defined ahead of time.
DEFINE EMPID=101;
DEFINE CHGDATE=to_date('01/01/2010','dd/mm/yyyy');
SELECT SQ.Shift
FROM   (SELECT ShiftChanges.NewShift AS Shift,
                RANK() OVER (ORDER BY ShiftChanges.ChangeDate DESC) R
        FROM    ShiftChanges
        WHERE   ShiftChanges.id = &EMPID AND
                ShiftChanges.ChangeDate <= &CHGDATE
        ) SQ
WHERE R = 1However, I have been unsuccessful in adapting it to the example tables I provided. If I insert the query as an inline subquery* in the select statement, it won't work, since the criteria is nested two levels down, and I can only get parent values within the first level.
I haven't thought of a way I can do this using a nested subquery - I keep running into that problem - how do you link in Time-Span data with a point-in-time reference.
Any ideas / enlightening thoughts?
Thank You

I changed the tables to hold VARCHAR2(6) shift information and your query to reference the ChangeDate column.
I also assume you meant to link a TimeCard entry with the most previous ShiftChange entry rather than one that occurs after the time worked (TC.WORKDAY>=SC.CHANGEDATE(+) rather than TC.WORKDAY<=SC.CHANGEDATE(+)):
Another issue you don't take into account the case where there has been no shift change. In that event you need the current shift from the EmployeeInfo table which is taken care of with the NVL function.
You correctly note that multiple shift change records will result in duplicate TimeCard records though your test data fails to check for that condition. I added this row:
SQL> INSERT INTO ShiftChanges VALUES (100, to_date('03012010','ddmmyyyy'), 'Days', 'Nights'); Now it is apparent
SQL> SELECT TC.id,
2         EM.Name,
3         TC.Workday,
4         NVL(SC.NewShift,EM.CurrentShift) AS Shift

7 rows selected.The reason for the duplicate Jan3 time is the two shift change records. We are matching both ShiftChange records that occured before the 3rd.
We also see that your test data has John starting out on Days and then shifting from Nights to Days on the 2nd for no real change. Fixing that:
SQL> DELETE from ShiftChanges where ID = 100;
2 rows deleted.
SQL> INSERT INTO ShiftChanges VALUES (100, to_date('02012010','ddmmyyyy'), 'Days', 'Nights');

Currency Translation for Restricted Key figure

We are in BI Content 351 and SP6. In the query, I create a restricted key figure for an amount KF, assign a currency translation using a conversion key and target currency, give a technical name and save. Everything is fine. However, when I drag the RKF to query column, the currency translation disappears. Has any one seen this before? Any pointers will be appreciated

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

KEC3 - New currency translation type

Hi,
I am trying to create a Currency translation type in KEC3 with time dimension 5 'For exact date' and field name BUDAT "Posting date" . But when I save the new entry the system displays error KH297 - Field is not a characteristic.
Which could be the problem?
Thank you very much

Hi
Posting date is the date which we give and which is not available in the structure SYST.
Try the option - 5 in "Time: Curr. tr." above the Inversin flag.
1     Fiscal year closing
2     End of period
3     Beginning of period
4     End of week
5     For exact day

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".

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.

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.

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.

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)
