Ideas for Dynamic Dashboard creation based on exchange rates

Hi,
There is a query to create dahboard for revenue details from various accounts (various sales companies with various currancies). The C-level executive would also like to view a consolidated graph (dashboard) for all comapnies with the options to select display currency as per his choice (USD/EUR/GBP etc) and the data would change according to the day's exchange rates (maintained in SAP C4C).
Now while a report can be made in which we give selection parameter based absolute parameter & exchange rate pick up date, the same is required at dashboard level to reduce the number of clicks & for ease of executive.
Can the experts guide me on creating such a dashboard...
Regards,
Rahul

hi Rahul,
With the current capabilities in the dashboard, you cannot pass a selection criteria. This is something on our list as a planned future capability.
In the meanwhile, if you can arrive at the main two or three currencies that the C-level user is interested in using for monitoring analytics, then you can create multiple variants for each of the reports for each currency and create multiple dashboards enabling the respective variants for each dashboard. Its not the most optimal, but you could have one dashboard per currency and the user can just switch via the dropdown to view the dashboard in the next currency of interest.
Hope this helps.

Sebastine

Profit & Loss based on Exchange Rate

Dear All,
Please help me in one of my client's scenario as mentioned below:
1. I create an Invoice in USD (Foreign Currency).     //Exchange Rate at the time of Invoice was .90
2. I purchase USD from AUD (Local Currency) by passing a journal Entry.
3. Now I make a outgoing Payment using this invoice in Step 1.     //Exchange Rate at the time of Payment is .96
I would like to know the effective process to map into SAP B1.
Question A: My Client doesn't want to change the exchange rate at the time of outgoing payment. He wants that the exchange rate at the time of payment should be as it was while making the invoice.
Question B: He wants to calculate the profit & Loss of Exchange rate at the time of purchasing USD From AUD.
Please help me to map this process in SAP B1. Any kind of help would be appreciated.
Regards
Pankaj Jha

Hi Pankaj,
For mapping above Process in SAP B1, Please follow below steps.
1. Create one Ledger for Purchase Foreign Currency eg. Forex Purchase Ledger and make this Ledger as All Currency
2. When ever you want to Purchase Foreign Currency then Pass Journal Entry to this Clearing Ledger            eg.                    Local Currency Ledger                               Credit
                                  Forex Purchase Ledger          Debit
Now after doing this Pass another Journal Entry
                                  Forex Purchase Ledger                               Credit
                                  Foreign Currency Ledger          Debit
3. After following above Two Steps you can do Outgoing Payment for Foreign Purchase Invoice.
Answer A:- No, Exchange Rate will not be same as Invoice. Exchange Rate is based on Daily Basis. If any change in Exchange of Outgoing Payment Document Posting Date then System will automatically hit Exchange Rate Gain or Loss Account.
Answer B:- If i am not wrong then you can not see Profit and Loss based on Exchange Rate.For work around Check below on Profit and Loss Based on Exchange rate Purchase.
Please create one Project for Purchasing Foreign Currency and Select this Project every time when ever you are Purchasing Foreign Currency.Then you can see Profit and Loss by Project.
Hope this help

Spry js for dynamically naming file based on day names..but wait theres more!

Hi,
I'm creating a program guide for a tv station based on xmls, so I'm wanting to creating a data set that calls a file name "sunday.xml" on a Sunday
and feed that into the var section in the header that calls the file for that data set-see the red bit.
example:
var dailypg = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("xml/sunday.xml" , "EPG/Service/Event");
I hope that made sense.
The problem is that I don't know how to write js-well i wrote a script that spits out the right name, the "var filename = etc... bit,
example:
var day = new Date()
var weekday=new Array(7);
weekday[0]="sunday";
weekday[1]="monday";
weekday[2]="tuesday";
weekday[3]="wednesday";
weekday[4]="thursday";
weekday[5]="friday";
weekday[6]="saturday";
var filename = (weekday[day.getDay()]);
but I don't know how to feed the var "filename" into where it sets the file name for the xml. Is anyone able to point me in the right direction?
Thanks.

I am doing something very similar.
var aid = 6882
var HotelDetails2 = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("http://xmlfeed.****.com/index.aspx?aid=" + aid + "&rtype=3&hids=100652", "hotel_search/hotel");
This works but have had great trouble with the wizard. As soon as I make it dynamic then it breaks the wizard, which I would like to use. I have tried having a line commented out which is unmodified so I can switch between the two but that really confuses it.
Just in case you were wondering I will be getting around to getting aid from a querystring but not there yet.
Any ideas, it can't be all that hard to do this surely and feel I must be missing something.
Thanks,
Steve.

Cost elements for account Profit or loss on exchange rate valuation

I am running transaction F110 and among the invoices to be paid there are foreign denominated invoices. I have 4 business areas set up and have one GL account where all the gains and losses arising from the exchange rate fluctuation are posted (this account has been assigned a cost element).
When I run F110 i get error that the gain/loss on valuation account requires a CO object. I thot the system would be able to determine all the CO objects from the invoices selected for payment. In a payment run, there are a number of invoices belonging to different CO objects.
Is there a way i can get around this. If i delete the cost element will i be able to draw up financial satements per business area.

Hi,
You can set up in OKB9 for Co Object determination.
You can set Business Area as mandatory in OKB9 and then click on Detail per business Area and another screen will open up, there you can enter, Cost center against Business Areas.
This will resolve your issue.

How to use reflection package for dynamic object creation

I want to convert a "DataObject (SDO) " into "Pure java object".
For this i want to create a java object with the fields in Dataobject, and this should be in generic way.

Use Java reflection if you have the java class already created.
Otherwise use Java IO API for creating the .java file and compile it dynamically by calling javac exe from java code and executing using reflection

Ideas for a new Infraestructure Based on Oracle VM

Hello,
I need some help or information about Oracle VM.
I want to install an Active /Active system with:
1x Server of Oracle e-Business Suite
1x Server of Oracle PeopleSoft
1x Server of OBIEE
1x Server of Oracle DataBase
How is the best way to mount this? Anyone could recommend me any post off "The best way" or something like this in order to start to defining that system.
The Idea is 2 physical server, balancing charge, and if one server go down the other one attend the demand of the other. People connect in our lan and outside of our lan.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Not sure if I catch your question correctly...
You want to have 2 physical servers where you run 4 virtual machines per physical server and you want to have the same setup on your other VM server. The virtual machines on physical machine (A) should be a “HA cluster” with the virtual machines on physical machine (B)
Something like that… I guess you can break this down to the basics. Just create virtual machines and build a HA setup like you would do without virtualization… you can have a peak at what Steven Chan wrote about this at http://blogs.oracle.com/stevenChan/2008/11/disaster_recovery_oracle_ebusiness_release_12.html

Ideas For A Text-Based Game

I tried working on Graphics a while ago, but I didn't have too much luck with that ;)
Just wondering if anyone here has any ideas about a 'fun' text-based game, that wouldn't be really based on RPG style stuff, because I don't really want to bother with having characters save and stuff(I kno how to though...)
Something like Rock/Paper/Siscors(spelling? lol), but kinda more adicting...oh right, forgot to tell you...idea for a MULTIPLAYER text-based game ;)
Thanks
-Been trying to think of a good idea all day, no luck ;)

Think of an existing exciting game, and make a clone. Thinking of new games is hard.

Different exchange rate on each material issued for order

Hi all,
I have strange situation like this. Controlling area currency is USD and object/company code currency is THB. When i do Good Issue for production order, system use different exchange rate for each material although all of these material are posted on the same posting date for good issue.
Example :
I do Good issue material A and material B for production order 100000 at posting date 01.03.2008. When i look into cost analysis and look for USD currency, i found that exchange rate for material A is 30 THB/USD and exchange rate for material B is 25 THB/USD. FYI i use exchange rate type m. How can this happen?? How can each material have different exchange rate although its transaction at the same posting date??
I'm waiting your advice.. Maximum point will be given.
Best regard,
Yudha

I think its a bit misleading...The requirement is to post an Invoice with a base taxable amount of Exchange Rate A and a tax amount of Exchange Rate B. The Base Currency is JPY and the System Currency is SGD. So the Report S_ALR_87012357 should see the amount in SGD there. The Issue is caused by the different exchange rate on the tax amount submitted by the Vendor Invoice.
Example: Vendor Invoice Amount: 926,413.00 JPY, then we created PO to Invoice with Base Currency JPYalso amounted 926,413.00 JPY. However, in the Vendor Invoice Amount, the Tax Chargeable is 923.00 SGD (based on their exchange rate 65.66 JPY per SGD). But our Exchange Rate (System Rate) is 63.49 JPY per SGD. How can we reflect the Tax Amount as 65.66 JPY but still the correct SGD amount is based on the Vendor Original Invoice Exchange Rate 65.66 and not the System Exchange Rate, 63.49 in the same Invoice Creation (MIRO)?

Exchange rate for controlling document.

Hi,
We have 3 currencies in total, 1 local 2 other currencies in USD. During posting system automatically converts local currency amount into USD based on exchange rate available. suppose if this USD amount is manually changed during posting and posted, controlling document (cost center document) is still considering the exchange rate available in system and not manually changed amount. This is leading difference between FI and CO in USD amount where as Local curr amount matches. I checked all the controlling settings.. versions etc to avoid this, but couldnt succeed. Can some one advise if this is standard behavour ? can this be changed by some customisation ?
thanks

HI
Yes this is the way SAP works. You need to reconcile with local currency . However if you want to reconcile with other currency too , you can use the same rate which is being used for transfer of the data into CO. You may have Audit issue in such case , however currency re valuation will take care this aspect too .

How system calculate Exchange Rate for material?

I have some doubt how system calculate exchange rate for material when doing GR.
For example, standard price of material is 0.01 USD per ea. PO is created in foreign currency (THB) with qty: 40,000 ea (THB 2,852.00)
Actually when I do GR ea then accounting doc is:
Dr. Inventory 400 USD (12,800 THB)
Cr. GR/IR 88.64- USD (2,852.00- THB)
Cr. Variant 311.36- USD (9,948.00- THB)
for 2nd and 3rd line item, exchange rate M (THB -> USD) is 0.03108 which is correct.
Could anyone advise where system get exchange rate for 1st line item?

Hi
First of all, as mentioned by you, the exchange rate for Item 2 and 3 is not 0.03108.. It is as below, based on the figures given by you...
Dr. Inventory 400 USD (12,800 THB)........ Exch rate is 0.03125
Cr. GR/IR 88.64- USD (2,852.00- THB)....... Exch rate is 0.03108
Cr. Variant 311.36- USD (9,948.00- THB).... Exch rate is 0.0313
I guess the item 3 is just a derivation from Items 1 and 2.. The Price diff results as a difference between std cost and purchase price...
I believe, the exchange rate would have been 0.03125 at the time of GR... You need to check this in your system... For sure, it uses exch rate type M in the standard... Check if 0.03125 (USD -> THB) or 32 THB -> USD exists in your system at all
Item 2 is based on your PO negotiated rate...

New G/L using an other Exchange Rate Type for Local ledger

In new G/L ledger we want to use for a Local ledger a different Exchange Rate Type then the standard M. This is for local reporting to the goverment
Is this possible and yes where I can make this setting?

Hi Paul Annotee
In T.Code: OB22 you can maintain another parallel currency say HARD Currency (40), and make this as identical to your local reporting currency... for this new currency you can maintain a different Exchange Rate Type

All SAP Gurus,
When we make PO for imported material, we can define exchange rate.
After that when go for GR (MIGO), system pick up which exchange rate (exchange rate maintained in PO or current exchange rate)?
Regards,

Hi,
In PO if u tick indicator Besides Exchange rate - Fixed then GRN will be take place at that exchange rate.
Otherwise GRN will be posted at the rate maintained in t-code OB08
