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?

Currency translation with user defined exchange rates in a BEx report

Hi guys,
our business department requests a new functionality in our BW system. They want to simulate a currency translation in a BEX report. But this currency translation should be so flexible, that the user can change the exchange rates directly in the report.
For example: The report should show a list of all our local company revenues. In the first column the plan revenues will be shown in the local currency (each company has its own local currency: USA->USD; Japan->YPN, Great Britain->GBP and so on). This revenues comes from a normal infoprovider, loaded via flat-file.
In the second column the user should be able to enter or change a plan currency rate. The entered exchange rates should be stored in BW for a next use. They won't maintain the rates directly in TCURR, because this rates are only for simulation use !
In the third column the translated Revenues in Euro currency has to be shown under the use of the exchange rates from the second column.
I investigated a lot of time in the SAP help and here in the SDN, but I didn't find any solution to realize this. Is there generally a possibility to make a currency translation with exchange rates out of the TCURR? Would it be an option to use the integrated planning function of BW? Or is this requirement to far away for an simple implementation in SAP BI ?
I hope, someone of you has also fixed a similar problem or has a good inspiration.
Thank you in advance.
Thomas

thanks for the prompt reply!
Unfortunately, exchange rates are not a part of my cube. They are held in different tables, and referenced depending on what kind of exchange rates I need to be looking at (average rates, daily, planning etc.). The only way for me, at the moment, to know which rates have been used is to go to query global view, and look at the type of conversion, and then try to figure things out. Plus there can be a different key date used in the query, which makes things more complicated.
Anyway, it was worth asking
Thanks again.

Currency translation at the time of transformation

Hi Dennis,
Sorry for that I have modified the VI.
Because the peak and valley of every channel will occur at different time and I want to log the peak/valley with the time stamp.
How can I log them on the same file.

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.

BPS Currency Translation with rate from previous year

Dear All,
I am trying to use the BPS currency translation function. However, I would like to use an exchange rate from the previous fiscal year, in order to reveal currency effects.
I would appreciate any help, hopefully regarding ways to mend the standard function. I am afraid a workaround with the FM CONVERT_TO_LOCAL_CURRENCY would end up in a giant crutch.
Thank you in advance,
Lars Biederstedt

Thank you for your answer, Marc.
I would definitely like to know more about option 1.
Option 2, a fixed data, would not work, because data had to be translated monthly, with the exchange rate from exactly one year ago. I was really surprised, that you could not enter a variable as a time reference and use offsets, like you can in queries.
I ended up using an Exit-Function with the function module convert_to_foreign_currency. Unfortunately you cannot change characteristic values with Exit-Function, so I have to repost after every currency translation.
Anyway, it works.
Best regards,
Lars

Currency conversion with different currency and company code

Hi all,
how could it be done if in the report different currencies have to be managed / displayed?
The InfoObject 0Comp_Code has to be handled for example with different currencies. There are different company codes available and their currency should be converted in the query. But for example we have different currencies like dollar, yen and euro. So the currency should be dedicated correctly.
And the credit control area (the highest level in organisation) has only Euro.
The data (currency) of credit control area and company code in the cube is available only in Euro at the moment.
I thought it would be more flexible when the conversion is done at query level then at transformation level. We have filters in the query and the query is very fast. Is it also possible to include a currency for selection in filter?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi,
Yes, it is possible to have a filter for selection of target currency if multiple currencies are involved. However, you would need to define a currency translation first in RSCUR. Here, you can specify EUR to be the fixed source currency & a variable in case of target currency which will be used as a filter for user input when the query is executed. You also need to have a reference date (exchange rate date) & a exchange rate type (avg. mthly rate, daily buying rate etc.) associated with the currency translation.

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

Have you transferred the exchange rates from R/3?

Currency Translation with a Calculate Key Figure

Hi,
Does anyone have experience with applying currency translation in BEX/Query Designer on a Calculated Key Figure?
I have a need for a calculated key figure to be converted to a target currency of USD (which is already defined via RRC1). I also need the Results Row to display the summation in USD.
Currently, my calculated key figure displays two currencies (MYR and USD) and an incorrect summation of both currencies.
Here is how I have defined my calculated key figure:
NODIM ( 'Consumption (STOs)' ) * NDIV0 ( 'Material Source Plant Cost' / NODIM ( 'Source Plant Price Unit' ) )
I am multiplying a quantity field by amount field and then dividing by a price per unit field. I have applied NODIM on the other fields so that the amount field will retain it's properties.
Running this query through transaction RSRT and clicking on the Generate Report button, I get the following message:
"<b>Currency translation cannot be carried out for element 20 (my calculated key figure). Element 20 neither contains a Basic key figure nor a variable with type Amount. For this reason, you cannot and do not need to perform a currency translation</b>."
From the above message, I must be setting my calculated key figure incorrectly.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Hau

Hello Ajeet and N Ganesh,
Thank-you for your help. I verified that the dimensions of my key figure 'Material Source Plant Cost' was of type 0AMOUNT, so that was not the issue.
The issue was in the error message that was returned when I pressed the Generate Report button in RSRT. Essentially, currency conversions in BEX can only be performed on basic key figures or simple replacement path variables.
I can perform the currency translation on a SIMPLE calculated key figure that contains only the replacement path variable (where 'Material Source Plant Cost' is an attribute of my master data characteristic ZMAT_SRC). However, I found that I cannot perform the currency translation on COMPLEX calculated key figures, like in my example above.
To get around this currency translation issue and as suggested by the error message, I created a SIMPLE calculated key figure for replacement path variable 'Material Source Plant Cost' and performed the currency translation. The problem with this solution is that while I get my currency translation, I also get a calculated key figure that is aggregated, according to the query layout.
To get around the aggregation issue, I also created a dummy counter as a master data attribute (of ZMAT_SRC) to capture the aggregation. I assign a value of 1 to this dummy counter/master data attribute in the update rules to my ZMAT_SRC infoobject.
I then divide my new (aggregated) calculated key figure for 'Material Source Plant Cost' by the dummy counter (which is also aggregated). Essentially, I divided the aggregated replacement path variable by the scaling factor. The result is that I get a new calculated key figure that has been translated into the target currency and in the correct scaling factor. I can use the new calculated key figures in the above formula; regardless of the report is rolled-up.
Again, thanks for your help. It gave me the pieces to solve this puzzle.

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.

How to report with different time zone dynamically based on user's account?

Hello
I am wondering is there a way to change the report's date & time data based on user's locale setting in OBIEE?
Let's say the user log in to OBIEE with eastern time zone setting. The data that's in the database is storing a transaction of $400 at 1am Pacific time.
So when this user run a query which does something like 'select date, transaction, amount from date, transaction, sales where this = that', it should display the $400 amount done at 4am eastern time instead of 1am pst.
What I have done is to have data stores in date dimension to be UTC time, and I have also changed the data type of the date column to be 'local time zone'. DB is Oracle DB 11G now.
Now this query works perfectly well in the DB as long as I run the following commend first:
Alter session set time zone = 'whatever my time zone'
and then
Select date, transaction from tables..
The date displayed will automatically be converted into different time zone..
Since everything is working nicely from Oracle DB level, I need to know how to make it work when OBIEE sends the same query down to the DB..
I know that, probably I will have to enter the above alter session commend in the connection pool, however, I can't hardcode the time zone value.
I also don't want to store user's time zone in the user table because these users travels a lot. So even if his table setting is EST, but at a given day he can be traveling to pst time zone and view reports.
Is there a way to dynamically set the time zone based on user's account locale setting?
Let me know if you guys have implemented something similar or not
Thanks

Hello Sarvan
I have already done that part at the DB level and it is working perfectly with alter session commend before the query.
My question is, how do I configure OBIEE so that before each user runs a report from BI, the alter session commend will be fired with each user's personal locale time zone setting passed through so that each user will be able to view data according to their different time zone?did you tried with Connection scripts(Execute On connect) in Connection pool.write ur Alter commend to Change Time Zone in this script box.

Currency Translation with dynamic scaling

Hi Experts,
If you have experienced such a requirement,
pls share what you leant.
As you know, the scaling option is fixed for
each key figure.
Under such situation, if you changed currency
using currency translation, you will feel
this scaling is not suitable for this currency.
For example,
Default -> 1,500,000 JPY
Scaled by 10,000 > 150 JPY with scale 10,000
If translate JPY to EUR, by rate of "1 EUR = 150 JPY".
(Scaled is fixed by key figure setting.)
Default -> 10,000 EUR
Scaled by 10000 > 1 EUR with scale 10,000
But this is not suitable for the EUR user,like German people.
So we want to change scale dynamically on the currency.
Do you have any ideas on this ?
Best regards,
Manabu from Japan

You can do VBA code to check currency and adjust the values (not exactly scaling factor ).
If you are using web template based reports, there might be more options there, take a look <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/61/2a813b731fd60ee10000000a114084/frameset.htm">here</a> for scaling factor adjustment in reports.

CDHDR table entry updation with different Time Stamp

Hi Experts,
I'm changing the Contract Partner First Name. The time stamp updation in Change Document Object DEBI is with UTC but the BUPA_BUP Object with Local Time Stamp.
We want both time stamp with the UTC.
Time Zone mentioned at SPRO level is UTC.
Have anyone faced such situation earlier?
Thanks and Regards,
Jyoti Shankar

Jyothi,
I'm not sure whether this answers your query or not but suggest you to look at these 2 FMs'
BUS_CUA_VARI_FUNCTION_CONVERT
BUS_LOCATOR_OKCODE
Ist FM uses table TBZ4 that uses GUI.
Probably this is the reason you view object BUPA_BUP in the table with GUI time.

Is there a way to automatically change tabs with different times set for each tab?

I found a few add-ons that will automatically change tabs based on a configurable time. But all the tabs use the same time setting. What I need is the ability to have tabs displayed for different amounts of time. Ex, Tab 1 for 30 seconds, Tab 2 for 10 seconds, Tab 3 and 4 for 5 seconds. Ideally, I will have the ability to modify these settings as the amount of tabs and the content will change a couple times a week.
Currently I'm using Tab Slideshow with each tab displayed for 15 seconds. But it sounds like Tab Rotate and Auto Toggle Tabs essentially do the same. If there is already a solution that would be great but if not is there someone available for hire to help modify one of the existing add-ons? Thank you in advance for your time.
