Handling multiple currencies

We have CHF as local currency key for a consolidated unit, but we use EUR as Functional/ operating currency. Unfortunately, parallel currencies have not been activated for the consolidated unit.
How does multiple currencies are handled in SEM-BCS? One suggestion is to keep this CHF currency cons unit as a separate cons group, then do curr translate from CHF to EUR for the local cons group. Using version, copy this EUR to the main cons group and then consolidate in the main group currency USD. I have been trying to configure this but users are not happy since it involves using the option of multiple currencies and multiple versions. The users are asked to enter specific parameters like group currency key and version each time and they don't like it.
Any suggestion for handling the scenario of third currency in SEM-BCS, other than Local currency and Group Currency?

Hi Greg,
CHF is the local currency and there is only local reporting requirement which they can do from R/3 company code anyway. For some reasons, the business is using EUR as functional currency aka primary currency for that specific consolidation unit for consolidation purpose. The group currency is USD and the final consolidated report will come in USD. EUR is just an interim currency.In other words, it is not multiple group currencies reporting.
I am using the same version 100 and try to copy from CHF to EUR, using copy function. The copy function is throwing many errors. One error is asking to provide CHF to USD conversion rate and I do not understand this logic, while I have provided CHF to EUR conversion rate.
In copy function, am I required to map and also provide badi?? (I have done mapping and also source and target selection conditions except Badi).
If you have configured copy method in the past, please advise.

Handling multiple currencies in ALV in same colums

hi,
I have a scenario, where I need to display amount values in a single column of ALV with different currencies.
I am using RESUES_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY to display ALV and handling the currencies by using the below code.
FIELDCAT-currency = currency_unit.
FIELDCAT-cfieldname = 'TSL16'.
FIELDCAT-ctabname = 'GLT0'.
the output format should be :
   1. USD 200.00 ( With decimals )
   2. KRW 25000 ( without decimals )
how can I achieve this funcionality i.e dynamically changing the currency unit for different rows?
Please help.
Regards
Krishnan

On the field catalog definition for the amount field pass CFIELDNAME as the <currency> fieldname. if this is maintained, i would assume it will solve your issue.
Say for example, the amount field is AMOUNT and the corresponding currency fieldname is 'CURRENCY', the field catalog for this field should be filled in something like this.
t_fieldcat-fieldname = 'AMOUNT'.         "amount field name
t_fieldcat-tabname = 'IT_FINAL'.           "internal table name
t_fieldcat-cfieldname = 'CURRENCY'.   "currency field name which will be referred
append t_fieldcat.
Hope this helps.

Best way to handle multiple currencies

I have a requirement that users should be able to report against an OLAP cube in a currency of their choice (from a list of about 20) and was wondering what the best way to handle this might be.
One option would be to have a currency dimension containing the list of valid currencies and then to pre-calculate measures in each of the currencies and store them in the cube. However the downside of this is that the resultant cube would be 20 times larger than a cube in a single currency, take longer to maintain etc. I could of course partition the cube by currency to improve reporting performance since users would only report in one currency at a time.
Another alternative would be to dynamically calculate the measures based on exchange rates - I guess this could either be done in the cube itself or as part of the reporting code. However since exchange rates are daily, this would obvioulsy prevent me from aggregating data up the time dimension (all measures are at the day level).
Is there any standard way of doing this and what are the pro's and con's?
Thanks,
Chris

Sorry - messed up - I should have posted this in the OLAP forum.....

Multiple currencies? Multiple languages?

hi,
Does SAP handle multiple currencies? Multiple languages? What is a currency factoring technique?
Thank you
Ashok kumar

HI,
Yes.
SAP handles Multiple Currencies and Languages
see the table TCURR, TCURC for different currencies
Currency Factoring Technique:
Currencies in Planning
In Profit Center Accounting, three currencies can be stored at once:
Transaction Currency
The transaction currency is the currency used for a specific transaction. You can choose a different currency from the list of valid currencies for each new transaction. The transaction currency is stored in the transaction data for Profit Center Accounting as the so-called "first currency".
Local Currency (Company Code Currency)
The controlling area currency is stored in Profit Center Accounting as the second currency.
Profit Center Local Currency
You need to set a special currency for Profit Center Accounting in Customizing for each controlling area. This currency is used in the standard reports, among other things. You can find more information about this currency in Customizing. The profit center currency is the third currency updated in the transaction data.
How Do I Plan Currencies in Profit Center Accounting?
You first plan a profit center in USD. Then you later plan the same profit center in DEM in a second planning session. This may be necessary if:
the planned costs for the profit center in a certain cost element consist of external invoices in the local currency and external invoices from abroad and
the external invoice from abroad was billed and paid abroad
The currencies which can be planned manually are defined in the Layout.
If the corresponding key figures are defined and ready for input in the planning layout, you can plan in any permissible transaction currency, the company code currency or the profit center currency. The planned amount is then immediately and automatically translated into the other currencies. Note, however, that the system can only translate into a transaction currency if you have explicitly specified a transaction currency.
If you want to want to plan data using different transaction currencies, you need to use a planning layout that contains the characteristic "Transaction currency".
Note that data can only be saved in the transaction currency if a transaction currency has been specified. Otherwise the data will only be saved in the other currencies without the transaction currency.
If you want to want to summarize data in the transaction currency, you need to use a planning layout that does not contain the characteristic "Transaction currency". You can then:
change the summarized values, in which case the changes are not updated in the transaction currency, and
add any combinations of objects that have not already been planned.
If you
enter one transaction currency, the system only displays the amounts planned in that currency. You can
change these amounts
plan in the currency specified
enter a number sign (#) to represent the value " " (no value), the system only displays those values that were planned without the transaction currency. You can
change these amounts
plan amounts without a transaction currency
specify more than one currency or all currencies (*), the system displays all the planned values. You can
change these amounts
can plan as yet unplanned combinations of your planning objects in any valid currency.
Planned currency amounts are translated using
the value date you entered in the planner profile for your area
a translation factor entered in the currency table for the exchange rate type entered in the planner profile
You will find further information about the currency table and currency translation in the documentation FI Configuration and Organization.
Transfer Pricing Using the Conditions Technique
The term "transfer pricing" is used to describe the calculation of prices for internal exchanges of goods between profit centers. Conditions are the individual steps carried out during price calculation. When a goods movement takes place between two plants, the price can depend on a number of factors, such as the material involved, the sender plant, the profit center, the partner profit center, and so on. The information on these variable factors is stored as master data in the form of condition records. There the transfer price can be defined as a fixed price or a percentage increase or reduction.
This section describes the steps necessary to define transfer prices. You define these transfer prices in Customizing. There you will also find a detailed description of how to proceed.
Define condition tables, which you use to store condition records for each condition type.
Here you define the price dependencies for transfer prices. You can make the transfer price found dependent upon a combination of fields. For example, if you want your transfer prices to be defined for a combination of material and partner profit center, you need to define a condition table that contains these key fields. The condition records then contain the individual prices for each combination of material and profit center. You maintain the condition records when you define the individual condition types.
Define access sequences that the system should use to search for valid condition records.
An access sequence is a search strategy that the system uses to find valid data for certain condition tables. Each access sequence consists of one or more steps, which the system processes in the order specified. The order determines where the system should look first for a valid condition record. You can specify an access sequence for any condition type for which you create condition records.
Define condition types for all the pricing elements (fixed amounts, markups and markdowns) that occur in your daily business operations.
In Profit Center Accounting, a condition type represents a component of a transfer price. You can define condition types for every type of fixed price, markup or markdown that occurs in your internal goods movements. If you define a percentage markup or markdown as a condition type, you also need to define another condition type to serve as the basis for this percentage. This can be a price stored in the material ledger. The relationship between these two condition types is then defined in the pricing procedure.
In some condition types you need to specify an access sequence. In this way you determine which fields the system should use to search for a valid condition record.
Define condition records that determine the amount or percentage to be applied for each set of values in the condition table (such as "fixed price of USD 100.00 for material 01, profit center ABC, and plant 0001").
You can maintain condition records directly from within the definition of the condition type. Or you can define them from the application menu by choosing Master data ® Transfer prices ® Conditions. It is also possible to copy existing condition records to create new ones. This is especially useful if you want to change the currency of the condition record. You can maintain condition records either in Customizing or in the application menu, under Master data ® Transfer prices.
Define a pricing procedure to group together condition types and determine how they relate to one another.
In addition to the selection and order of condition types, a pricing procedure determines
which subtotals should be calculated
what base value the system should use for calculating percentage markups or markdowns
what conditions must be met in order for a certain condition type to be calculated
The base value for markups and markdowns can be either a fixed price or a value from the material ledger. Using a routine supplied in the standard R/3 System, you can have the system read the legal, group, or profit center price from the material ledger and calculate the markup or markdown on this basis.
Define condition exclusions, which let you determine which condition type should be used in a given situation.
In transfer pricing for goods movements, it often happens that a number of different condition records are valid. Using condition exclusions, you can compare conditions with one another and use, for example, the most favorable price for the partner profit center.
For different condition exclusion methods are available:
· The most favorable condition in an exclusion group
· The most favorable condition record for a condition type
· The most favorable condition among different exclusion groups
· Exclusion of those conditions in an exclusion group when a condition type that belongs to another exclusion group appears
Define transfer price variants, which let you specify which pricing procedures are relevant for actual data and which for plan data.
To valuate different datasets, such as plan and actual data, using different conditions, you can define variants with an assignment to a specific pricing procedure. The system processes the specified procedures in order until it finds a valid transfer price.
In transfer pricing for goods movements, only actual data is valuated (variant 000). However, you can also create additional variants if you want to calculate plan prices on the basis of pricing data.
Define pricing reports, which determine the structure of lists of conditions.
A pricing report lets you analyze condition records according to certain criteria and define the structure of these lists. You can define pricing reports either in Customizing for Profit Center Accounting or in the application menu, under Master data ® Transfer prices ® Pricing reports.

Padmam.

Multiple currencies in master agreement

All,
Any ideas on how a master agreement can handle multiple currencies?
Even the subagreement carries over the master agreement currency and a script would not change it.
Regards,
Subhasini

Hi Subhasini,
Master agreement doesn't support multiple currencies in CLM till date. Only RFx does. You may have model your scenarios working around this limitation. One solution could be to use MA instead of subagreements and tie them with document links...
Guess In newer releses (wave 8) contract heirarchies are supported, where you can have multiple MAs linked and each of them can have their own currencies.

Urgent : OBIA - Handling multiple Global, Local and Document Currencies

All,
I need input on how to configure multiple currency codes in DAC for OBIA 7.9.6.x
My client's business goes around the the world and with multiple local currencies.They also need reporting currency to be multiple like in Euro, USD etc.
I went through a couple of threads in this forum,like -
Re: Configuring Global Currencies in BI Apps 7.9.6 for EBS 11.5.10 Source
Re: How we are using Global, Local and Document Currencies in DAC.
But I have some confusion regarding the configuration of DAC's 3 Global currency codes.
In order to fulfill my requirement - should I add additional codes in DAC?
Basically How am I supposed to handle multiple Local,Document and Global currencies? And then possible changes in rpd/reports required also?
Regards,
Krish

Currencies are discussed in the Setup and Configuration Guide here:
7.1.1.2 How to Configure Global Currencies
To configure the global currencies you want to report in your warehouse:
In the DAC Client, display the Design view.
For more information about logging into the DAC, see Section A.1, "How to Log Into the DAC Client".
Select a container from the drop down list to the right of the Execute button.
Display the 'Source System Parameters' tab.
Locate the following parameters and set the currency code values for them in the 'Value' box:
$$GLOBAL1_CURR_CODE (for the document currency).
$$GLOBAL2_CURR_CODE (for the local currency).
$$GLOBAL3_CURR_CODE (for the global currency).
Make sure that you spell the currencies as they are spelled in your source OLTP system.
Save your changes.
As far as for PLP items, those are Post Load Processing elements that perform cleanup tasks after the Base Warehouse tables have been loaded. They should never be modified and frankly run without any issues provided the rest of the plan executes properly. Do you have a specific quesiton about a PLP?

Rollup Report for Project Information Multiple Currencies

Hi All,
Report Rollup:
We have multiple projects created in multiple currencies across multiple legal entities. Ex: Prj#1 USUSD, PRJ#2--FRA-FRF, PRJ#3--GER-MD, PRJ#4--JPA-JPY
How can we get a rollup numbers (Actuals & Budgets) for these projects.
1. Program and project Hierarchy? -- Currencies are different
2. Project Analytics - How conversion is handled ( Non-US projects are set up and transacted in local currencies).
Auto Allocations:
Any one created allocations from a PRJ#2--FRA-FRF, PRJ#3--GER-MD, PRJ#4--JPA-JPY to *Prj#1 USUSD*_
Projects are created under respective Legal Entities-->OU-->PRJ ORGS
Thanks

Dear Prasanna Reka,
I'm sure this can be achievable thru OBIA. Since we have something called Global Currencies on OBIA, if u have selected Global Currency 1 (ie. USD) u would be able to see the output based on the Items (Eg. OU, Buss Unit, Project Type...etc) selected on the dash board.
Please let me know if u need more info on this.

URGENT: multiple currency one country grouping

I have a requirement whereby i have multiple currencies for one country grouping (international payroll). How do i handle thIs requirement? Since payroll driver RPCALCx0 only calls one currency. Treat as urgent. Cheers.

Hi
To what I know, Payroll driver is always works for one currency respective to the company or CG currency.
You can have multiple currency payroll which will be transparent to users with different currencies in infotype 14/15 or 0008. This is allowed in the system and you can change the infotype currency code when maintaining the infotype.
in the payroll schema you have to convert the foreign currency to company code currency using currency conversion table in FI by using a custom function or you maintain the conversion rate in constants table.(for each period). in the 2nd case use yr PCR to convert the currency.
once payroll is completed you convert the payment currency in bank transfer internal table with yr foreign currency and use the same conversion factor.
when you run the reports using the payroll cluster you have to use the currency feild to choos the reporting currency including payslip. system will use the same conversion table in FI for displaying the foreign currency amount.
Hope this helps.

IE running under XP can't handle multiple SWF files, Why?

I noticed that IE 8 running under Windows XP cannot handle multiple swf files in one page.
Up to about 10 files is no problem they are loaded and we can play them ( buttons that start a small audio file).
But more of these files in one page will stop IE.
Firefox ( 3.6.28) runs them fine.
And also IE 8 and/or Firefox under Windows 7 handles them perfectly.
Has anyone any idea what can cause this and how to resolve this?
Thanks,

Sorry...I still don't get it. What is it about Windows FUS that keeps iTunes from running running the process twice? It can run many other non-Apple windows apps in multiple user sessions (commercial apps, open source apps, audio/video apps, networked apps). I can even run two different virtual machines at the same time under two different user sessions.
Why can iTunesHelper.exe run twice but iTunes.exe cannot? Why can I run Safari at the same time? Quicktime Player runs fine under multiple user sessions.
Blaming it on Windows and/or FUS sounds like FUD. Can anyone give a valid technical reason? Semaphores? Mutexes? An admission (and explanation) that the Windows version is purposely crippled?

Multiple Currency Payroll Payments for one Employee

Hello,
We have a requirement of paying one employee in multiple currencies (i.e in Local currency and USD). This means that such employee has two bank accounts, i.e. Local Currency Account and USD Account.
The costing of payroll costs is done in the local currency. Does anyone know any standard procedure for this?
P.S we are using Global Legislation
Regards,
Salman

Hi Salman,
Have you tried this from Element Define window. There is functionality for Input and Output currency.
Hope it could meet your requirement.

Multiple currency in PO/MIRO

Hi Friends,
In the PO, the vendor is from Japan, so the document currency is in Japan. But the freight condition currency is in MYR which we dont want to convert into JPY. Here the system converts all the condition type currencies into document corrency i.e. JPY in this case. After Goods Receipt, when I see the FI document in MIGO T-Code, all the posting
comes in JPY and when i change the postings into local currency i.e. into MYR, there is a difference of RM0.02(2 sens) in the posting. As the freight condition value is in MYR, we dont want system to change it to JPY as freight charge not relevant for PO printout. Because os the conversion factor, a podting having difference of 2 sens is done.
At the time of Invoice Posting through MIRO T-Code, all the charges are converted into JPY irrespective of their actual currency mentioned in the PO. Inside "Simulation" tab I can see the delivery/material cost in only 2 currencies i.e. JPY and MYR. I cant see the currency in USD as one of my delivery charge in PO is in USD. My invoice comes in respective urrencies as per PO. Please advise how to post invoice in multiple currencies as per the currency mentioned in PO.
Thanks & Regards
Satya

Hi,
Document currency of PO will be single and all the condition type values are converted to the document currency.
For condition types where currency conversion is required, please goto config (T code M/06), select the condition type and under Control data 2 tab, tick currency conversion. This will remove rounding of errors in case of multiple currecies.
Hope this info helps

Calendar app that handles multiple Google calendars?

Can anyone recommend a calendar app that handles multiple Google calendars in a single account, including one of what Google's desktop web site shows as "My calendar" calendar plus one "Other calendar" calendar?
Thanks.

Calendar can have two or more calendars calendars listed at the same time.
Each can be a different color for identifidation.
The first screenshot shows that the Medical and Joint calendars are shared calendars.
Will that work for you?

How to handle multiple clients with DatagramSocket

I am trying to handle multiple clients with 1 datagramSocket bind to one port (basically I have only one port to use, and I can not use TCP or any other ports). At the server side I have two threads one for receiving packets and buffering them, another for processing the packets in the buffer and sending replies.
I can have multiple clients sending datagramPackets to me and I will have to process the packets and send them to DIFFERENT clients. Ex. Client 1 sends datagramPacket to Server which sends the processed packet to Client 2. Also Client 2 sends a datagramPacket to Server which again processes the packet and sends it to Client1. May have Client 3 and 4 doing the same thing at the same time... and so on...
My root class is creating the datagramSocket(somePort) and two threads (receiver and sender). How can I use the socket that I created in these two threads??
I have done the following and I am getting "java.net.bindexception". When I am sending stuff from Client1 to Client2 everything is fine but when I start sending something from Client2 to Client 1, I get the bindexception... Client 1 is using port 3000, Client 2 is using port 4000.
I really don't have a lot of experience in socket programming so I am not sure if there is a much simpler way to do this. I appreciate all the tips and help that I can get...
Thanks...

                    processDataMsg();
      static void processDataMsg()
         DatagramPacket op;
         InetAddress DA = null;
         int DP = 0;
         byte [] outPacket = null;
         // POP FROM RECEIVE BUFFER
         // SOME PROCESSING HERE
         // Set Destination Address (DA)
         // Set Destination Port (DP)
         // DA and DP are the forwarding IP and Port addresses
         // not the addresses original packet was sent from.
         try
          op = new DatagramPacket (outPacket, outPacket.length,DA, DP);
          udpSocket.send(op);
         catch (IOException e)
          e.printStackTrace();
}Also for development and testing purposes, I am running the two clients and the server on the same machine (windows xp-32b) so all of the Destination IP Addresses are 127.0.0.1. and as I said Ports that I am using are 2000, 3000, 4000 (Server, Client1, Client2).

Hmm I have minimized the code and it seems to be working now.
I think I have an error in the header portion of the data I am sending, where I am storing the source IP/Port and destination IP/Port. I think the server in the middle is messing these values up while sending them to the destination Client. Because the destination client actually receives the stuff and sends the reply back to the server, but the reply packet's headers has 0/0 as the dest IP / Port...
Server is giving me java.net.BindException: Cannot assign requested address error when it tries to forward the reply it received from the client2 as the address it is trying to send is 0!
I guess it doesnt just give this error when you try to open two sockets to the same port...
Paul, Thanks for the direction on how to proceed... took me a while get the minimized code but at least figured out the problem. Well still have to make sure that is THE problem though :)
As far as the statics goes how can I change those to non static ones? Where do I make an instance of the top level class that creates the threads? and how do I pass the DatagramSocket to the threads/ if I dont need to pass how do I call or use the datagramSocket I created in the top level class? I mean do I still kinda have it like a global variable on the top?? A very simple example would be much appreciated...
I think these might be really basic questions but I am having a rough time with the hierarchy in java...

How to handle multiple exception types in JSF 2?

I'm trying to handle multiple exception types in JSF2, including a default error page for any unexpected exception types. The problems I'm having are:
1) ViewExpiredException is handled only when no generic exception handler is specified
2) "Regular" exceptions like NullPointerException are never handled
My managed bean:
@Named
@SessionScoped
public class MyController implements Serializable {
/* A method that does nothing */
public void doNothing() {
    //do nothing
/* Generate a null pointer exception on purpose */
public void generateNpe() throws NullPointerException {
    Object x = null;
    x.toString();
My test page to generate the exception:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

</error-page>

<error-page>
    <exception-type>java.lang.Exception</exception-type>
    <location>/error/error001.jsf</location>
</error-page>My questions are as follows:
1) How can we handle "regular" java exceptions like NPE?
2) How can we define a catch-all for unexpected exception types, while still respecting specific exception handlers for VEE, etc?
Thanks,
Benjamin

Is your data model right? If you are adding in one and deleting in another it sounds to me more like a process that an entity, in which case you may revisit your data model and simplify it, add in a session bean with the process method to co-ordinate between the two.
However, if you want to map multiple different tables within a single entity bean it is possible and just part of the mapping. How you actualyl specify it depends on which implementation you are working with.
Cheers,
Peter.
