Help me about Indexes and Exchange rate

I see in SAP B1 have form Exchange rates and Indexes. I don't know mean of Index. What does it use for? And Exchange rates relate to Indexes. I can't understand. Can you help me.

Hello Tien,
You are clever. There are also some member forums could not know how benefit the helpfiles for them and a certain member in this forum is called forum point seeker, take this as an opportunity.
Indexes in SAP B1 are used to define consumer price index (CPI). h
ere is the definition :
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures inflation as experienced by consumers in their day-to-day living expenses. (It is sometimes referred to as the retail price index.) There are separate indexes for two groups or populations of consumers:
The CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) is the index most often reported by the national media.
The CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) is the index most often used for wage escalation agreements.
The CPI inflation calculator allows customers to calculate the value of current dollars in an earlier period, or to calculate the current value of dollar amounts from years ago.
Consumer price indexes often are used to escalate or adjust payments for rents, wages, alimony, child support and other obligations that may be affected by changes in the cost of living. There is a fact sheet explaining how to use the CPI for escalating contracts.
A new price index called the Chained Consumer Price Index (C-CPI-U) is now available. This new measure is designed to be a closer approximation to a "cost-of-living" index than the CPI-U or CPI-W.
Based on that definition, we could obtain it as data when determining exchange rate in daily business or price of the inventory items

Currency Coversion and Exchange Rate Issue

Hi,
I have a scenario in query which is related to currency conversion and exchange rates.
Company Code     Matter Code      Invoice          Invoice date     Amount
                    Number          (DD/MM/YYYY)
1001          1111          INV101          01/01/2011     $100
1001          2222          INV202          05/01/2011     $150
1001          3333          INV303          10/01/2011     $200
1001          4444          INV404          15/01/2011     $250
Here , Amount field is in GBP currency by default.
User gives choice as USD on selection screen and the amount field is converted to USD in output.
Now, I wonder which day's exchange rate is applied for same ??
And what steps should I do if I want to apply a particular day's exchange rate ??
i.e.
Consider that there are different exchange rates maintained on daily basis.
For each invoice number (INV101 , INV202.....) There is an invoice date (01/01/2011, 05/01/2011...).
The corasponding output amount should take that particular date's exchange rate for conversion of currency.
How to achive same ??
I have gone through t-code RSCUR for same. Nothing helpful found.
I have even gone through some documents for currency conversion., but unable to find out such scenario.
Please help me for same.

Sachdev-
Currency translations are a very complex issue for BW developers. What you need to do is manage a currency translation that is based on the exact 0CALDAY of the transaction. Here are some helpful hints
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/dc43c445-0d01-0010-23a1-ca348ff5f975?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
The standard SAP business content includes some standard translations as shown in the article, like these:
0MEANTODAY Average rate using actual date (0SY-DATUM)
u2022 0MEANDAILY Average rate using 0CALDAY of the data record
u2022 0TRA_DATE Average rate using 0TRANS_DATE of the data record
u2022 0PSTNG_DAT Average rate using 0PSTNG_DATE of the data record
u2022 0DOC_DATE Average rate using 0DOC_DATE of the data record
However, you MUST have a translation available in the main SAP Currency translation table (Transaction oB08 ) for the period in question, and you MUST report in the appropriate date. If, for example, you wish to report in an aggregate by 0CALMONTH, for example, the currency translation will need to be associated with 0CALMONTH, and the exchange rate will not calculate on a day by day basis, but on the standard that you set for the month. So, to your users, the data will be 'wrong'.
A more robust method involves adding a value field to your data soiurce that uses the currency exchange rate in effect as of the day of the transaction. We do this in our data models, to with:
Mexico Data source:
Each value field will be available in the document currency(whatever), the company code currency(MXP), and in the corporate currency (USD).
Good luck ! Most users don't understand the whole issue, and we spend a bit of time explaining it to them.

How to get link b/w FAGL_FC_VAL documents and Exchange rate loss&gain g/l

Hi experts,
pls tell me link b/w FAGL_FC_VAL documents and Exchange rate loss & gain g/l documents.pls provide me the table name and field names.
Regards,
Viswanadh

Hi,
I think you have been looking for link between FAGL_FC_VAL document created at the time of foreign currency valuation and document created at the time of realization (loss or profit booked). There should not by any link between the two, please note that these two will be differnt figures as realization is based on exchange rate at the time of realization and valuation is based on the rate prevailing at the time of valuation. Also valuation gets reversed on key date + 1 which woulld essentially mean that valuation is done for reporting purposes only.
Hope this helps!!!

Cud u pls tell me which infocube contains inforamtion of date, currencies, and exchange rates?
Any useful answer will be rewarded with suitable points.
Thanks!
Rohan

Hi Rohan,
It is stored in table TCURR . Ref. of which can be taken for creating cubes / ods .If requirement is for currency translation then i would say go for Tcode RRC1.
There is one more program also which can be executed for currency translation ( Tcode SE38 : Program : RCURTEST )
Hope that helps.

Hi Rohan,
Currencies and Exchange Rates are maintained in a Table = TCURV.
Goto SE11 and see that Table.
Some other useful Tables are:
RSDCUBEIOBJ          =     Objects per Info Cube (where-used list)
RSDODSOATRNAV      =      Info Object in ODS (navigational attributes)
RSDODSOIOBJ      =      Info Object in ODS
Assign points if it is helpful.

Spot rate and Exchange rate

Dear SDN's
I want to know,
What is spot rate in FI?
What is difference between spot rate and exchange rate?
where we can find this spot rate in R/3?
i am doing report for FI where the client want this spot rate? where the client is not maintaining any practice in R/3 for this spot rate. i would be very grateful for your valuable suggestions.
Good day,
thanks and regards
Arun

Hi
A forward exchange transaction can be regarded as a future spot exchange transaction, because it comprises the future purchase or sales of foreign exchange.
Check the link for more info
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/3f/f2fb76a87711d198b00000e8a5999a/frameset.htm
You use spot exchange transactions to buy and sell internationally traded currencies against other currencies. These orders have very short expiry terms. It is a binding agreement for the immediate exchange of foreign exchange. As a rule, the foreign exchange is credited or delivered two days after conclusion of the business transaction.

Extract Conversion Difference and Exchange Rate Difference Journal Only

Hi Experts,
How can we extract all Conversion Difference and Exchange Rate Difference Only?
Is there any parameter that we can use to extract this data?
Please advice
Regards,
Amy

Hi,
First, you should define transaction code in Administration >>> setup >>> financials >>> transaction codes.
Example: DIE : Different Exchange Rate
Every time you execute Exchange Rate Difference and Conversion Difference, remember to assign DIE code to "Code" field. Then you can extract DIE journal entry easily by choosing DIE code when use expanded function in any accounting reports.
Hope this helps,

Plz help me about clustering and loadbalancing

hi all
plz help me about clustering and loadbalancing
how to do clustering and loadbalancing in tomcat ?

I used Grid Bag Layout for allignment of all buttons and textfields.Use multiple different nested layout managers to get the desired layout.
Give it another try.
If you need further help then you need to create a [Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program (SSCCE)|http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html], that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour.
Don't forget to use the Code Formatting Tags so the posted code retains its original formatting. That is done by selecting the code and then clicking on the "Code" button above the question input area.

Payment program and exchange rate

Hey Gurus,
When i run the payment program to pay my foreign vendor in foreign currency the system does not calculate the exchange difference at the point of the payment program.
Example.
invoice on 9/11 for 4267.50AUD the rate 1.2154 =3511.19usd run the payment program on 9/17 the rate is 1.18840. it pays out 3511.9 instead of 3590.96usd. The difference between the 3511.19 and 3590.96 would be the exchange loss or gain.
What is missing, or how should the system do it.
Then when the bank pays the order at the bank rate, the rate in the books and the bank rate are different, therefore different payment amounts, how do you set up the system to reconcile the two and generate another exchange rate.
Please
Thank you

Thank you for your quick response!!
What if i don't know the banks rate at the time of the payment program, which is what the case is going to be.
I guess my question is does the payment program calculate the exchange gain or loss when clearing the invoice , if so what settings make it do that?
And once the clearing is done and i receive the bank statement the two amount would be different due to the different exchange rates, how do i make the bank statement reconcile the two and post and exchange gain or loss.
Please help this is urgent.
Thank you

Report Painter and Exchange Rates

We have not turned on multiple local currencies but we have several company codes that have different currencies. Does anyone know of a feature in Report Painter that allows reporting of different currencies in one report by using some kind of currency exchange rate connection?
I'd like to be able to create a simple Report Painter report but have it report in the company's primary currency.
You help is greatly appreciated,
Dan

Hello Dan,
On the initial screen of report painter where the user enters the parameters valaes , there is a icon for currency with a $Y sign. Click on icon and select the option translate to target currency. With this it may be possible view the report with postings in multiple currency translated into one reporting currency.
If the icon is not visible then from menu select
Environment - Options and click on check box Expert Mode.
Hope this meets your requirements.

Questions about Indexing and Using an Indexing POA

Although I have only about 50 users, at least 15 of them have in excess of 100,000 messages in their accounts and the POA (version 7.0.2) is regularly slowing to a crawl. (I just know that plans for revolution are fomenting!) I have embarked on a campaign to reduce these accounts by archiving everything off to get mail accounts down to 3000 or fewer pieces. I have achieved user buy-in, but have worked on only a few users so far.
In another closely related thread, it was suggested to me that the PO speed issues relate to broken indexes. And I suspect that given so many messages, the indexes were never getting fully rebuilt with the default QF POA settings. I am trying to fix that situation in addition to reducing mail account sizes. So, I have set up a second POA on another server and dedicated it to the indexing task. The /qfinterval is set for 1 hour, other /qf switches at default. The POA-QF does no mail delivery, but it does do nightly user upkeep.
The POA-QF seems to be steadily working away and making progress at reducing the number of unindexed messages. However, I have questions about what I am seeing and what more I can do:
1. Is the progress I am seeing real progress? For example I have a user with over 100,000 messages to be indexed and every time I check the logs, the count drops by about 500 messages per hourly QF cycle. I assume that if I just let it keep running, it will eventually get caught up and fixed. Not only with this user, but with all the others as well. Will my patience (and theirs) be rewarded? Are there any gotchas I need to prepare for?
2. One user has recently had virtually all of her messages successfully moved to archive. I can see them in the Archive, and do not see them in the online account. However, now over a week later, QF still shows >130,000 items still left to index for that user. The POA-QF is making slow, steady progress reducing that number, but why is this user's QF count still so high? Does it just need more time, or is there something amiss for this user?
3. I may want to rebuild indexes for single users from scratch. I have seen the TID 3105742 which tells how to do this: Essentially you turn off mail delivery functions, and make some other switch changes to dedicate the POA to indexing for just a single user, and then you let the POA rebuild the indexes. The implication of that scenario is that the POA is now enjoying exclusive access to the user's databases.
If I want to use my secondary POA-QF to rebuild a user's index from scratch, does the main POA have to be offline and the user out of GWise? That is, Does the QF process require exclusive access in order to rebuild indexes from scratch?
Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions.

Set this switch for this indexing POA - /qflevel=999 - this will index
everything in one run. It will take a long time, but with no qflevel switch you
are indeed only indexing 500 messages at a time, and if the user has that much
mail, it might never really catch up.

This is odd, because really the index count should drop to nothing, but with the
above switch this might get resolved as well.

Not really - the POA is not enjoying exclusive access to the user's database,
the indexer is just avoiding an attempt to index anything else.

No - QF never requires exclusive access. That said, you may find that an
extremely vigorous QF can cause slowdowns for the user.

Internal Order and Exchange rate.

Hi All,
System: SAP 4.6C
Payment is made in foreign currency CHF and debited to Internal Order (CIP); it was translated to Local currency USD as per that dayu2019s exchange rate.
When order settlement was made in following month, different exchange rate is taken by system and settlement was made to final object, leaving some balance in USD in the Order.
Balance amount was later nullified by entering a manual entry.
Is there any way how we can do the settlement of Order @ original exchange rate so that we won't have any balance in local currency in order?
Please share you inputs/Or if there is any OSS note to apply.
Regards
Ashok Prabhu

Dear Ashok,
there is an option in the configuration for F Exchange Rate.
i think your configuration is ok. But in your configuration you are using some G/L accounts for F Gain & F Loss.
Plz. check those G/L accounts (Master data) have post Automatically tick mark or not
in normal senario also it's happend in all cases.
Ex:
Date       Cur.    Rate          Loc. Cur.      total
1.4.08     usd      40      x     100              4000 -at the time of invoice
1.5.08     usd      50      x     100              5000 - at the time of pay ment
when ever you trying to clear those invoice it's picking the rate from table 1.5. (if your clearning after 1.5.)
if you are select Automatic posting in your master data you can't find those deference.
i think in your case also same thing happend
regards
