Currency translations in a query

in my cube i have transactions in dollars.
but in my report i want it in rupees.
where can i do currency translations in
reporting.
please give me path how to do it.
correct me if i am wrong.
conversion routines are nothing but writing
routines on currency translations
plese help me out.
i will assign full points
with regards
vishal

in the report, you need only use the context sensitive menu to perform a currency translation or you can set it in the properties of the key figure in the query definition. thats the easy part, before all that works you need to have the currency table filled in with the translation factors (the easiest way is to upload it from your r/3 system, one of the choices against the source system in the source system tab - "transfer exchange rates") then create a translation key (or see if one already exists)- t-code RRC1 for 3.5 and earlier or RSCUR for 2004s. translation type M is standard and there are a few fields to fill out, but it is pretty easy to guess your way through it.

How to setup a Currency Translation in BW Query for Universe purpose

Hello,
we want to setup a currency translation in a BW Query, to be able to select the target currency in the Report, so that all vallues are translated (not filtered) in the target currency.
Any ideas.

Hi,
Hope you can create a User Response at the report level and create a Varible based on the User Response that can be used to convert the Currency.

Two-step currency translation in BEx Query

Hello,
is it possible in BI NetWeaver 2004s to specify a two-step currency conversion in a query?
Example scenario:
In the cube the values are stored in EUR. We'd like to convert the values to Local Currency (LC) using exchange rate type A in step 1. Then, in step 2, we'd like to convert from that LC back to EUR using exchange rate type B. It is demanded, to do both mentioned steps "on-the-fly" during query execution. Is this possible?
Might current research efforts led to the conclusion that it is not possible and that ONLY ONE exchange rate type for conversion can be defined for a selection or restricted key figure. Even if you would then use that restricted key figure in another restricted key figure and apply the second exchange rate type to this one, the conversion mechanism does not use the target currency of step 1 as the source currency for step 2 but rather uses the currency stored in the cube as source currency for step 2.
Thanks to any answers in advance!
Best regards,
Philipp

As far as I know, this is not possible.

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.

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?

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:
"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."
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 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?

APD problem - data type & currency translation

Hi,
I am using APD to get hung number of records from mulitprovider. I use a query to as a source of APD.
In the query, there is an option to select currency translation in variable screen.
But I encounter the following problems:
1. key figures in the output file are in floating point. is it possible to change data type in APD?
2. when I select currency translation in this query, does APD support currency translation?
Thanks a lot.

Hi Helen,
You can use an routine ABAP to change the format of your data type & currency transation.

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,
Dibyendu

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.

Multiple currency translation in one single query execution.

Hi folks.
I have today running in production, a report like:
The user input a period and a version (multiple single values selecion)
- Period
- Version (0VERSION)
And the report returt as follow
                              2010
          Version            A1         Q1
Key Figure 1        500BRL     400BRL
Key Figure 2        300BRL     200BRL
Now, the user requires a currency translation based on the version selected in the filter. I mean, for version A* use one exchange rate type.
For Q* version, use another exchange rate type...and so one...
For instance, the solution is to create a currency translation type like:
Exchange rate type from Var. and create this var as user exit with an abap that checks the version selected by the user in the
report and than return the exchange rate type based on this version...
This solution works only if the user input only one version in the filter. But, he needs to input three, four..versions and
in one execution of the report, translate the currency using a exchange rate type for each version.
Ex: Exchange Rate for version A1 (1.8USD = 1BRL) Exchange Rate for version Q1 (1.5USD = 1BRL)
Then, the report should return:
                2010
        Version              A1         Q1
Key Figure 1        277,7USD   266,6USD
Key Figure 2        166USD     133,3USD
I know it's a little complex to describe, but if someone know how to do it, I'll aprecciate.
Best Regards,
Thiago

Can you explain your query KFs structure..
Seems that in your report there is 1 KF for each version....but you have 1 input variable which holds multiple values ...If thats right..then how are you getting values for diff versions from 1 & same variable..
No, there is one key figure for each document..
for example,
(doc/calday/version/sales revenue)
DOC00001   01012011   0       100BRL
DOC00002   01012011   A1    120BRL
DOC00003   01012011   R1    110BRL
In the report, the user can filter by one or more version, and based on wich version he selects, for each version we need to use a specific currency translation.
The structure in the query is
In Lines
Sales Revenue
In columns
Calday / Version

Currency translation for a restricted key figure in Query designer

Dear Experts,
In my query i am using a restricted Keyfigure (ZRKF1 which is reusable). I have to change the currency translation key of the restricted Key Figure from zcur1 to zcur2. I am not able to edit zrkf1 Currency translation in the properties( It is in gray colour) ,while i can do it for a normal keyfigure. if i edit zrkf1 then other queries will be affected. How should i solve this? Can i copy and paste the zrkf1 to zrkf2 in order to use zrkf2 with currency translation zcur2 in my query ? How can i coy and paste restricted key figure?
Thanks,
Riya

Hello Riya
I think you can't change the currency transaltion type for RKF... to change it in RKF just make the changes in the KF which you have used in RKF....
If you don't want to change the CURR translation type in KF1 than copy it paste it (KF2)and change in that KF2...now u can use KF2 in restricted KF...
Thanks
Tripple k

Currency Translation type not available in query.

Hi,
I have a query developed on DSO, but here a currency translation type is missing where as in other queries developed on other
cubes the translation type is available
Is there any note available for this kind of problem or any setting available for this.
Please advice.
Thanks

Hi bhanu,

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

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?
