Multiple Currency Applications sharing a currency database

Is it possible to share a currency database among multiple essbase applications?

not in the tradition sense where you create it in an application and it is linked to the standard DB. You could create a generic one and use partitions or xref to get the conversion rates from it.

Multiple web-app sharing the same database.

hi experts,
If I have several websites running on the same server. Most of the are sub-domains of the same domain, they share the same database, but each sub-domain will have their own web-apps(This also means that they are running on a different java virtual machine, right? ). My question is that how can I make them communicate with each other. Also, will there be any conflict with the database insert/update issues, and How do I solve that?
For example, if one user is already logon from "tips.mydomain.com", then when the users goes to another sub-domain, say "java.mydomain.com", he/she doesn't need to re-login again.
thanks.

Well yes, having databases accessed by multiple users simultaneously is an issue that many many developers have had to face. But the answer to "How do I solve that" doesn't fit in this little box or in the limited time that people have available to answer questions here. It's an extremely complex issue about which entire books have been written.
As to the bit about the subdomains, it is possible to map them to the same web server, as far as I know, but that's a web configuration issue and nothing to do with Java programming.

Multiple PIA/Application servers to one database?

We're planning an upgrade to PT 8.50, FSCM 9.1 and with this upgrade we want to add access for outside customers/vendors. What's the best way to configure an internal employee site/app, and a customer site/app to one production database? Is it as simple as installing different application servers and PIAs, point them all to the one database, and configure 1 PIA as EMPLOYEE and the others as CUSTOMER? Or should we also need use Portal 9.0? I've been doing some research into this, but was hoping to hear some real-world experience and advice from anyone else that's set up anything similar.
Thanks,
-rob

you can have a PIA built for outside customers hitting the same database.
you can even have separate PIA hitting same app servers and db.
If you are planning on having an external site outside your firewall - for CUSTOMER (portal) make sure the external site is built to work only for CUSTOMER portal.
u might also want to design your customer ID base - using specific permissions and roles.
hope this helps.

Hello all,
we are faced to a problem when runing a daily export scripts, the script run in the following error in the application log:

"Set Currency Database [CUREISRI] failed: see server log file"
in the server log we cann see the following messages:

i'm newbie to essbase and i don't found any info about the above error neither in the Internet nor in the oracle essbase documentation.
thanks in advance for your help.

So.... I've never used the Currency stuff before... but -- should the Q4.08 member exist in that database? As far as I can see that seems to be crux of the issue.

Multiple currencies per entity in data form

Is it possible to disable users changing currency code in data forms with "Allow multiple currencies per entity" option?
I want users can see currency code for cell in data form, but can't change it.

Hi,
A really simple script would be
function customCellValidatePre(row, col, cell) {
//check app
if (equalsIgnoreCase(applicationName,"Enter App Name")){
// check form
if (equalsIgnoreCase(formName,"Enter Form Name"))
// enter 3 digit valid currencies for application
var validCurrs = new Array("USD", "ZAR", "AUD", "CLP", "BRL", "CAD", "GBP", "EUR");
if(listContainsName(validCurrs,cell.value)){
// looks like user has tried to update a currency code
cancelDrag();
EnterCellx(row, col, true);
return false;
Just enter a set of valid currencies for your planning application.
The script just basically checks if any of your currency codes have been entered, if they have it will just return back to the cell without updating the currency code.
Cheers

Multiple currencies for one minisite

We have a requirement so the different users can place orders in two different currency. Some of the customers are set up with USD and some of the customers are setup with CAD. So, when they login to istore, based on their customer Master - order management tab price list value - that currency code should default.
I added both currencies with their default price list on minisite set up under pricing menu on left. Users are able to checkout and place an order in USD. But RMAs are not working - getting error "Please contact yor sales representative".
My question is: is this possible to have two currencies work for one minisite based on customer master setup?
If yes, How can I resolve RMA issue?
Thanks.

Hi,
iStore supports multi-currencies and allows a user to switch currencies using the Global Bin.
Please details below on using the Global Bin.
Thank You,
Deborah Bourgeois, Oracle Customer Support
Excerpt details below are from Chapter 6 'Implementing Initial Customer Application Pages'
Oracle® iStore Implementation and Administration Guide
11i Part No. B13549-01
12.0 Part No. B31536-03
12.1 Part No. E13575-02
Global Bin
The Global Bin displays by default on the right side of the Site Home Page and other
section pages, if the current site has multiple currencies enabled. The bin allows
customers to select other currencies; when customers select a new currency, item prices
are displayed with the newly selected currency.
Important: In order for prices to display in additional currencies, the items must be set
up on a price list in those currencies. See the chapter, Implementing Pricing, page 10-1
, for details.
To enable the Global Bin, set the profile option, IBE: Use Global Bin, to Yes. See the
appendix, Profile Options, page A-1, for more details on the profile options settings.
Just as with the Browse Bin, this profile works only if you use Fixed Layout when
creating a section. If sections are associated to Configurable Layout, then you should
map the bin using Configurable Layout for bins.
By default, the Global Bin template (STORE_GLOBAL_STORE_BIN) is mapped to the
JSP, ibeCAcdGlobal.jsp.
Guidelines:
• In order to view the bin, the user's active responsibility must not be iStore Sales
Representative (IBE_SALESREP).
• In order to display, the site where the bin will display must have multiple
currencies enabled.
• In order for the Global Bin to display on the shopping cart page, the current site
must have multiple currencies enabled.
• When the Global Bin is mapped to the shopping cart page, changing currency in the
shopping cart page causes cart items to be re-priced in the newly selected currency.

"Allow multiple currencies per entity" option in Planning web form

Hi, All
The desciption of the option I pasted from the oracle doc library is:
•Allow multiple currencies per entity: If the application supports multiple currencies, allow entities to support multiple currencies, regardless of base currency. Users can select currency for displayed cell values in data forms
Well, assume that app has USD as a default currency. App was built in EPMA with multi currency option. All entities have USD as a local
I build a form and set this flag. According to the text above i want to enter some values (for example for one of the account) in GBP, can I?
All i need is the binary anwser, Yes or No. Honestly it's not the truth because if the anwser will be Yes i'll be surprised how? I can enter GBP in cell but after saving it returns to USD
I've allready searched question like this and have found a couple but not answered

Hi, Alp
Thank you for you answer. I've checked your link and it's amazing that information like this was written not in admin but in user guide.
Another thing i've wondered that it depends on setting of Calculate Currencies calc script (run on save). But it's just a think men must know and do I think.
Unfortunately I can't see how does it work, although I've done this settings.
If I set local currency for one of the entity as GBP then I can enter data in GBP of course and Calculate Currencies script runs ok. I can see exact values for local (GBP) and default currency (USD) just on planning form as I set currency dim in page.
But in my case when i set local currency for this entity back to USD entered value in GBP always changed back to USD regardless of Calculate Currencies script settings. It happens during save on the form
Can I get a bit more information about some other settings to be done to make this functionality work?

Vladimir

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.

Enabling Multiple Currencies vs. Custom Currencies

Is there any advanatages and disadvantages of using Enabling Multiple Currencies versus just using a custom dimension for currencies?

Well you would be adding yourself quite a bit of work by creating a custom dimension for currencies.
Dont forget that when you tag an application as multi currency, 2 additional dimensions are created: Currencies and HSP_Rates.
Additionally exchange rates types (historical, average, ending) are stored against that Accounts dimension.
You ve also got to think about the currency conversion rules/scripts created with mutli currency apps.
Creating a currency custom dimension would not include the above.
Hope this helps.

Pricing: how to maintain multiple currency in CRM 4.0

Hi,
I have Sales organisation as "TIS UK" with reference currency as "GBP" in organisational model.
While creating a Business Partner I attached sales organisation as "TIS UK", Distribution channel as "Direct sales" and Division as "Fixed cost project".
And currency as "INR".
Now here is the question when I try to create quotation for this Business partner and go for pricing condition it sayes "Pricing doc. does not exist".
with Message no. PRC_MESSAGES_EXT260

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.
Thanks

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

Decimal Places in Purchasing (multiple currencies)

Is it possible to change the price field to accept more than 2 decimal places in purchasing documents (contracts/PO) in a live production system for multiple currencies ?

Hi Raja,
No, if the said currencies already have transactions since, in SAP the values are stored without decimals. This the warning of SAP
In a productive system, you must not delete the currencies in use or change the decimal places. This could make amounts in documents already posted incorrect or invalid..
But you can denote in another way viz.
1 Kg of material X = 0.012 / Kg
can be denoted as 100 kgs = 1.2
