2.     Exchange rate type u2018Mu2019
3.     In Target currency
    Infoobject for determining target currency I used my infoobect .
But it is not visiable in my query designer in Currency translation tab
What could be the reason? Did I miss any steps?

Currency translation problem for calculated key figure

Hi All
I have a problem with the currency translation for a calculated key figure.
I have a requirement to show the MM consignment stock value in the specified currency from the selection screen.
For consignment stock, there is no value maintained in the system. So for this we need to calculate the value as below
Restricted key figure: RKFConsignment stock: Total stock with special stock indicator restriction "K"
Calculated keyfigure: Consignment stock value = Nodim( RKFConsignment stock) * (Standard cost / price unit).
Here, in the calculated keyfigure properties --> I have used a currency translation for the 0CALMONTH.
The query has selection on the 0calmonth.
But in the result the I am getting unexpected results.
Do we have any inconsistencies in the currency translation on the formulas?
Please help me on this.
Regards
S.R

Hi All
I have noticed something. I changed my query date selection to Calendar day - Keydate instead of calendar month.
And I have changed the currency variable to fixed exchange rate "CHF", it is working fine.
I think I have some problem with the currency translation variable.
Could anyone of you please send me the currency translation variable for Calendar month with the below parameters
exch rate type : M
Time reference : 0CALMONTH
End of month
Target currency for a variable : < var created on 0currency>
For my report, i need calendar month selection, currency selection.
Please help me with your ideas.
Thank you

Currency format problem while exporting as excel

Hi
I have to create a report for which the currency format should be $#,##0.00 and -$#,##0.00 for negative numbers.
In the text form field of rtf template, I have selected number format and removed the portion ;($#,##0.00) from $#,##0.00;($#,##0.00).When I view the report as HTML the numbers are showing in proper format.($#,##0.00 or -$#,##0.00).But when the report is exported as excel ,the negative number format changes to ($#,##0.00) in red color.
Can anyone tell me how avoid this problem?
Thanks in advance
Naveen

I think this is an Excel issue - you can right mouse click in Excel the column header and "Format Cells>Text"
You could also append a ' character to your numbers in BI Answers ie: '6035784010491980 which should give you the correct format in Excel.
eg. CONCAT( '''', CAST ( '6035784010491980 AS CHAR) )
There is also an MS Office plug in available for OBIEE this may give you further options.

Group currency update problem

Hi FICO gurus
We have a problem of group currency update.
We have company code currency GBP and 2nd local currency activated (Group currency) also in GBP.
Now when we do postings in FI, some of the FI documents are not updating 2nd local currency amount (Group currency).
Hence while clearing the 2 or more line items in the same GL account we are having a problem of exchange rate fluctuations in group currency.
Does any one know why some of the documents are not updating group currency?
Do we need to really maintain OBA1 configuration (exchange rate derivation)?
Thanks for your reply
Mr GK

Does the ECCS ledger include group/ledger currency in the definition (CXL2)?
Another thing to check is that if the desired GC values are loade in before the translation. If so, the translation method can be changed to "do not translate" for certain items such as the P&L items. This way the values are not changed from the original ledger CAD values as a result of translation.

Currency Unit Problem

Hi all,
I have a problem to display amount of different currency unit in a single column. i want to display report amount based on account no
on that i have some canadian account and US account. amount unit for canadian currency is CAD and for US it is USD. user wants to display amount and there unit side by side. the problem is in the subtotal or overall result is comming as * due to CAD and USD. i cant use NDIM function as user wants to display amount and currency unit together.
can any one suggest how can i solve this issue.
samit

one more option would be:
Create two restricted KeyFigures. One for USD and one for CAD .So that you could see all USD amounts in one column and all CAD amounts in different column..Hide base keyfigure.Now you will not get * for subtotals and Overall result and amount and currency unit will be displayed together

Currency Conversion Problem

Hi frndz,
I am facing a problem with the currency conversion.
In my Report i have used two keyfgures.
One is directly calculating the values from R/3 side and converting into EURO.
the other one is calculating through update rule.
These teo keyfigures should have the same value.
In this update rule i have used one function module "Convert into foreign currency".
This function module is calculating the value correct for all other currency only in Korean(KRW)currency i am getting probelm.
Like R/3 side value converting in EURO in coming as
507.35
and through function module value is coming as 50,736.00.
Please if any one having this problem or any one could suggest some solution then it would be great help.
I have also tried the solution of deleting the values from SPRO but still the problem is there.
Thanks in advance

Revab,
The admin may delete the record for KRW from TCURX table.
BUT, it may affect the other applications. It should be carefully considered.
Though, after deletion end users may check if theirs applications results with regard to KRW have been changed.
If yes, then the record in TCURX may be added again.
If not, then it might be a solution. Though, not recommended.
Best regards,
Eugene

Currency Symbol Problem on Unix

I am having a problem with the Currency Symbol display on a Unix Environment. The java code was done on a NT environment and was displaying correctly with the "$" symbol preceding the number. However when I moved this to the unix environment, instead of the "$" symbol I now instead get "�" this symbol in its place. Below are some parts of the code to illustrate. I am new to java so I can't figure out why the currency symbol wont display. Any suggestions?
import java.text.NumberFormat;
snip
NumberFormat nfc = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance();
snip
nfc.format(dollarAmt);

Please verify the Locale.
System.out.println("locale=" + Locale.getDefault())

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,
Anup

Cross-currency clearing problem

Hi,
Foreign cross-currency clearing btw USD & EUR is a business requirement for us (local currency is TRY). In order to do this right we maintain exchange rate table for cross currency rates btw USD & EUR. However in clearing transaction code (F-44), system calculates line item amounts as explained below:
"You can clear open items in any currency.
The amount of all the selected open items will automatically be translated into the currency in which clearing is to take place. The translation is executed as follows:
Item currency - Local currency - Clearing currency.
You are therefore not required to make additional entries in the exchange rate table for cross-currency clearing."
In this case, when we try to clear USD & EUR documents, amounts are not matching. Is it possible to calculate amounts displayed in clearing transaction accoring to cross currency exc. rates ?
An example i have is as follows:
Invoice Amount: 25,000 USD
Invoice Date: 1st May 2011
USD to TRY rate: 1,51410
EUR to TRY rate: 2,24960
USD to EUR rate: 0,67304
Payment Amount: 16,810 EUR
Payment Date: 5th May 2011
USD to TRY rate: 1,53060
EUR to TRY rate: 2,27630
USD to EUR rate: 0,67240
According to this example, if you try to clear invoice with payment on 5th May 2011 in USD, payment amount is displayed in F-44 as 24,999,74. In fact it is 25,000 USD if you use cross currency rate of 0,67240.

Hi again,
Thank yoy for the advice but clearing in company code currency doesnt really work. Because there is difference in terms of comp. currency and this difference has to be posted to curr diff. gain/loss account. If we try to clear it remains in the vendor account.

Foreign currency valuation problem

Hi Experts,
FOr the GL account xxxxxxx having a nil balance (already been revaluated in june 2010) and the revaluation postings got reversed.My question is y the revaluation is still being generated even though it is having zero balance.
We have another GL account xxxxxxhaving nil balance but it didnt triggered for revaluation..
When i check the both GL account masterddata FS00...i found some changes The GL account which is having Zero balance and not triggered in FCV is marked as "only balances in local currency" and the other GL which is triggered having Zero balance is not marked this field...
Is this because of this change?
Please help me out
Thanks in Advance
Lucky

Hi,
You might be seeing the balance of your GL in as zero in your local currency but the other currencies are not nil and these will always revaluate unless there's no movement in your forex which is highly unlikely to happen. The 'only balances in local currency" option means that any posting to this G/L should only be your local currency and nothing more but if this unticked, you can post any currency configured in your system to this G/L similar to what the first problematic G/L that you have which will always revaluate
hope this helps.

Currency Field Problem

Hi,
I am new on ABAP and i am trying to understand currency fields.I used curr field with reference on cuky field. But I didnt understand logic of this subject. So if you tell me when i need to use curr and cuky to reference i will be pleased.
Regards.

Hi,
When you specify currency as 100. It will make sense when you say as 100 dollars / 100 Euros. For the currency field, SAP requires a reference field. Note: The reference field may not be available in the table / structure it is available.
Hope it helps.

Currency Conversion problem in query designer

Hi,
A requirement has come that infoobject which contain multiple currency type, need to convert into a single currency type in Bex reporting as user want to see only one currency value in report.
There are three keyfigures refering different calenders for conversion. For examle . GR amount is based on GR date, IR amount is based on IR date and PO amount is based on Doc date. Query is build based on a infoset.
I am doing following steps to achieve the task::
1. In TCODE - RSCUR, created three Currency Conversion Type each for GR, IR and PO and each one refering different 0calday calender
2. Defined exchange Rate Type as "M"
3. Currency Tab -> Source Currency = "Source Currency from data Record"
    Target Currency -> Fixed Target Currency = "USD"
4. Time Ref. Tab -> Fixed Time ref. = "Current Date"
    Variable time reference = "To the exact day"
    Special InfoObject = <InfoObject name>
5. In query designer, Key figure property for GR amount -> Conversion -> Conversion type = <Name of Currency Conversion Type which defined in RSCUR>
6. Repeated the same for IR Amount and PO Amount key figure
While saving, getting following error::
*Cannot apply Currency translation type <Currency type name> in Infocube <Infoset name>. *
Diagnosis
You tried to translate a query element with the currency translation type <Currency type name>. The translation type <Currency type name>, however, has variable time reference or variable target currency relevant to characteristic Document Date. Characteristic Document Date is also not available in InfoProvider <Infoset name> and it references either none or more than one characteristic () of the InfoProvider for Document Date, or Document Date is not a base characteristic.
System Response
Procedure
Adjust the query definition or create a special currency translation type for one of the characteristics .
Please help!
Please note that there are three key figures which need conversion using different calenders.
Sanjiv

Hello,
I have done the same what you said, but same error still showing....
I also tried to change from "Special InfoObject" to Infoset level and it works with one KF. Since all three KF are under one Infoset and there is limitation that if Currency Conversion Type is defined on Infoset level then only one KF will be assigned for a Infoset where as I am using three KFs with three relevant time characteristic.
Any suggesion from others?
