Group Currency Unit

Hi,
I'm working on one of the reports which displays group currency. I'm using a function module to convert the incoming local currency(which is in different units like GBP,AUD) into the group currency which is in USD. After loading the data the currency field is populated with USD(which is right as all the currency values are in group currency which is in USD).
But when i write a query on this data the Bex analyzer displays the right value for group currency but its unit is the same as the Local currency. Can somebody throw some light on this.

Hi Ravi,
All currencies will refere to 0CURRENCY (they are created as a reference to 0CURRENCY.
If your local currency amounts have assigned to 0CURRENCY, then you need to have another currency key, say ZGRPCUR, created also as a reference to 0CURRENCY.
You need to have this ZGRPCUR in the cube. If it always 'USD', then in URs you may assign it to a constant 'USD'. If this currency is determined earlier, say, in transfer rules, you need to have it in the comm structure too.
If you make all currency translation before or on a cube level (not in a query), then you need to have the custom key figures for a balance, debit and credit inflows (though some of them might be not necessary if you calculate them on a query level) and assigned to them ZGRPCUR.
Best regards,
Eugene

  • Group Currency In BCS

    HI,
    We have  group currency is USD. There are  some company codes whose company codes currency is also USD.
    Insuch cases how do we get the group currency field filled for these company codes as USD, since unless we fill the group currency we cannot create the consolidated reporting by group currency.
    BCS experts please let me know your inputs.
    Regards,
    Ram.

    Hi Dan,
    I don't agree with this your paragragh:<i>
    If a group currency is provided with data collection, as suggested by Eugene, the exchange rates are not always what is required for reporting (Generally Accepted Accounting Practice- GAAP). Thus translation task is used in this case as well.</i>
    I mean if I provide, say, in a flat file data for upload where I have
    -- amount in local currency, which equals the group currency ($ZZZ)
    -- amount in group currency ($ZZZ)
    then there is no exchange rate (and moreover the wrong rate) and currency translation execution.
    Do you remember the system information after the currency translation which says that data not all consolidation units were translated?
    It's exactly our case. The system finds out that the local currency equals to group currency and doesn't perform the CT.
    BUT, it makes check if both amounts are equal. Though, not sure that the check is made in case of missing completely amount in GC.
    Do you agree?

  • Currency tranlation in case of Multiple group currency

    From SAP help:
    You want to report in two currencies on the subgroup level: You disclose the subgroup result in the first group currency while reporting the subgroup result to corporate headquarters in their group currency
    My scenario:
    I have subgroups B,C and top consolidation group as A
    Subgroups B, C consolidate in EUR and  Group A in USD.
    1)
    When i want to run my consolidation for sub groups -
    All i have to do is go and change the group currency in my Permanent parameters.
    Is this correct?
    Also - can i use a copy function in this case (i.e. without creating any versions)?
    (System does not allow me to specify a source and target grp currency without specifying the source and target versions)
    2)
    If I want to achieve this by multiple versions
    I configure -3 consolidation versions - 001, 002 n 003
    Make consolidation unit hierarchy as version dependent (define and assign Spl versions)
    In my versions 002, 003 i maintain only the consolidation subgroups B n C respectively.
    Create a Copy function which involves-
    Three Copy methods X, Y n Z;
    One copy Task with method assignment dependent on Company
    Assign methods accordingly to each company.
    Is this the correct way to do it or is there an alternative through special versions definition for Copy?
    Do i have to worry about anything else?
    Thanks in Advance!

    1. Yes - change grp curr in parameters and execute copy and translation - source and target versions may be the same
    2. because you have chosen to use different version for each grp curr, the above mentioned copy must be for differing source and target versions
    I see no reason to make hierarchy version-dependent other than to exclude group A from having both EUR and USD grp currs. However, it is perfectly okay to have this dependency.
    Unless there is missing information, I see no reason for separate copy methods/tasks or for assigning copy methods based on company.

  • Currency units not displayed

    Hi all,
    I have query, in rows i have g/l account  and in columns i have actuals total in group currency and actuals total in local currency of spain, local currency of france local currency australia etc. The thing is when i execute the query it showing the values of local currencies correctly but it not showing the currency uints. I have scaling factor to 1000 and I don't have much complexities,
    Is there any particular option to show the units.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Hi Bhanu,
    Thanks for the reply , the user are insisting that they require the scaling factor and the units to be displayed. But anyways, I have been given another problems to look around as there was a new bex consultant has been hired. Thanks for the tip of dividing by 1000.

  • Currency unit in Report painter

    Hi,
    I met a problem when i maintain a report using report panter. Table FAGLFLEXT is used for the library, and I want to using currency translation function. I use Basic key figure "HSL local currency" and CC_HSL translation local currency for the report. But when i run the report, there is a problem, system tell me that can not find the unit of source currency, so can not translated to target currency. The data of local currency can be displayed.
    i set the format of the local currency column, find that even i click "print the unit", there is no currency unit of the data, so I think there is some problem.
    What is the problem? thank you!

    Hi Amir,
    Thank you for your answer.
    I changed the key figue to "Crcy Transltn TransCrcy (Act.)" as told, and run the report again, but still have problem.
    No valid exchange rate for currency translation from  to USD
    Message no. GR640
    Diagnosis
    The system could not find a valid exchange rate for the currency translation.
    System Response
    The system could not translate into the target currency.
    Procedure
    Check the target currency, the exchange rate date and the exchange rate type.
    I am sure i have maintain the exchange rate type and related rate.
    The setting of "Define Currencies of leading Ledger" is "1 Translation taking transaction currency as a basis".
    I think the problem is that the system cannot find the unit of the currency, so the error massage display as "No valid exchange rate for currency translation from  to USD". If can find the unit of currency, i thought the message should be like "No valid exchange rate for currency translation from EUR to USD".
    If the unit can be found, I think after set the format of the column "print the unit", in the report the unit can be displayed. But in my system, can not display the unit.
    What do you think about this? thanks in advance.

  • GRIR Maintenence  and Clearing for non group currency PO

    Hi Experts
    I have an issue where I have a PO in say USD where group currency for company is Aus Dollar (AUD)
    At Month end, for whatever reason there is a GR/IR balance and we maintain it with MR11 but MR11 balances the difference in group currency (AUD) where all other postings for the PO are in USD.
    When we run F.13 or F13E the account never clears as it only clears transactions of same currency.  We seem to never be able to clear these (without introducing a large tolerance in F.13 perhaps?)
    Any ideas on a way forward? 
    thanks
    AC

    Try the finance forum ?
    I'd expect all currency amounts to get converted to company currency and I've never known MR11 not to clear balances.  Wild guess: have you got required exchange rates in place ?

  • Table for finding material cost in group currency

    Hi ,
    We are maintaing product cost on Cocode currency and group currency using CK11. We are not able to find the cost in group currecy in MEBW or KEPH.
    Kindly let me know the right table to look into.
    Thanks,
    Jatin

    Hi Jatin
    Did you mean you have cost component split in controlling area currency? if yes, then you will get for each costing calculation two records in table KEPH, the currency label is field LOSFX. The record with blank LOSFX is company code currency, the one with "X" is controlling area currency.
    Hope this helps.

  • Realized exchange rate difference in local and group currency

    Hi Friends,
    For a company code with local currency as Euro and group currency as USD, the setting in TR code OB22 for group currency is: Translation taking first local currency as a basis. When the open items are cleared, SAP posts difference in local currency and group currency. Sometimes, document currency is also group currency i.e. USD. The realized exchange difference is posted in Euro but it is not converted from Euro to group currency. Instead, system just calculates difference in group currency by comparing the value in group currency at the time of original transaction and when the transaction is cleared. Does anyone have dealt with such requirement and is there a way to be able to translate realized exchange differences from local to group currency?
    Thanks and regards,
    Pinky

    >Sometimes, document currency is also group currency i.e. USD.
    Can you explain, it's because of your settings or because of SAP?

  • Exchange rate difference posted to Group currency only during MIRO

    Hi SAP Gurus,
    We're activating parallel currency in ML and USD is the group currency. GR/IR clearing acct is managed in local currency only.

    Here are my questions:
    1.) Where would I check the setting for the GL account used in the automatic line entry posted in group currency during IR? (3rd line item above)
    2.) Can this be changed? Say instead of the original acct assignment, the management want to change it to FX gain/loss account
    3.) How?
    I have checked several notes (331910,etc) but I can't seem to find the answers to my questions.
    Appreciate your help. Thanks!
    Regards
    Dru

    Just an update to this issue- I just found out that the system is pointing to KBS when posting the
    exchange rate difference in group currency upon IR, hence, PO account
    assignment is adopted. I'd like to rephrase my question- is there any
    way we can change SAP behaviour such that it will point to other
    transaction key (e.g. KDG) other than KDM? Bottomline is we want it
    charged to other GL account not the one in the PO.
    Thanks so much for your assistance.

  • Improper display with Currency/Unit in drilldown

    Hi ,
    There are 2 KFs in the query , 2nd KF is one level down (i.e inside the triangle of first KF) .
    KF's are :
    Net value
    Net val in doc currency
    when i drill down on Currency/unit it just drills down by statistics currency (i.e for first KF) it doesn't display other currencies for KF Net val in doc currency .
    But when i bring the 2nd KF to same level as first KF (i.e outside triangle) it works properly .
    Can any one tell me the reason if you had a similar case .
    I think it's some front end problem ?
    Thanks
    Gururaj

    Gururaj,
    I think that it is normal behaviour.
    When you drill down by currency, the 1st KF is drilled down. For example, after drill down you have several rows (columns) with particular statistics currencies.
    The currency shown in each particular row (column) acts like a filter for subordinate nodes.
    If your doc currency doesn't equal to statistics currency, nothing will be shown.
    Best regards,

  • How to restrict Group Currency to Version

    Hi
    I am looking into multiple group currency consolidation, using different versions.
    My question, is it possible to restrict the Group Currency by version.
    E.g., I want version 100 to be restricted to group currency GBP, and version 999 to be restricted to group currency USD.
    Regards
    M

    Thanks Eugene
    I appreciate I can specify in the Parameters the relevant combinations.
    However what I want to do is restrict whats acceptable in the parameters, that is
    GBP & v.999 or USD & v.100 should not be allowed to be entered.
    Because you can have 2 group currencies in a single version, then I am not sure how this would be restricted.
    Thanks

  • Currency unit in return tables

    Hi @ all,
    I'm working with a return table in the update rules to calculate a key figure. Is it possible, that the currency unit of the key figure is not filled automatically? The currency units in source system and target system are the same.
    Thank you for your help!
    Clemens

    Hallo Clemens,
    yes, you're right; are you sure as well to not have more COMP_CODES then 0009 and 0010?
    perhaps it would be wiser to lookup the comp_code-currency from the master data of 0COMP_CODE (0CURRENCY is one of its attributes) in order to avoid having it empty and always hardcode it... This is of course if you want to derive the company code currency...
    hope this helps....
    let us know if you question is answered by closing the thread!

  • Vendor-Customer balances in group currency-table/structure/function module?

    Hi All,
    Which table/structure/function module can be used to get balances for vendors and customers in group currency? We just wnat to extract balances in group currency so FBL1N and FBL5N are not options. Is there any SAP report which can provide these balances for both vendors and customers?
    Thanks and regards,
    Pinky

    Hi Pinky,
    I came across one report S_ALR_87012079 - Transaction Figures: Account Balance, Program RFSRRCUA, which extracts Account Balances of Vendor. Once the report is executed, you can do Currency Translation from one currency to different currencies. In the output screen, in the Top Menu, select 'Settings -> Currency' and you can convert to another currency. I am not sure, if this helps you. If this helps, kindly update your comments here.
    Thank you.
