FDM/ERPi 11.1.2.2 - Able to load EBS Translated Currency?

Question

We are currently running Hyperion 11.1.2.1 in our PROD environment. We have Hyperion 11.1.2.2 loaded in our DEV environment. When looking at the ERPi data load rules in 11.1.2.2, it appears that we could pull the translated currency from Oracle EBS and not just the functional currency. This would be useful in our environment. I've looked thru the online documentation for 11.1.2.2 and it still states that ERPi can only pull the functional currency. Is this correct? If so, then what purpose is the Currency Type field on the ERPi data load rule source filter menu?
Thanks.

Actually, with 11.1.2.2, you do now have the ability to load Translated Currency from EBS. I'm doing it right now for a client with Hyperion FDM and ERPi 11.1.2.2 and Oracle EBS R12. The "Functional Only" limitation in ERPi was only for 11.1.2.1
When creating a new Data Load Rule, select Currency Type = "Translated". Once you select "Translated", another box appears below it where you enter the Currency Code to translate into (assuming this is USD for you). Run the Data Load Rule and you're good to go.
Another FYI: This functionality is not listed in the 11.1.2.2 ERPi Admin Guide. It still has the old 11.1.2.1 information and does not list anything on the Currency Type and Currency Code option , hence the likely confusion and me having to prove it to myself first :)
Hope this helps.
