PDF Form to retrieve historic exchange rates?

I've been wondering how practical it would be to create a PDF form similar to the webpage www.xe.com/tec/. We would like to create a form with the ability to retrieve the exchange rates for each dated line like the form. Is this possible?

In principle, it can be done with some scripting, but the amount of data
you'll have to embed in the file might be astronomical, depending on what
the scope and accuracy of the historic rates are...

Can any tell me if it is possible to report inventory at Historical exchange rates using standard SAP?
thanks in advance for all help.

Hi
To understand why the system behaves in that way, the most important
thing is to understand how area 01 is posting its values:
As you will know, area 01 is the only area that is posting its values
"online" (this means that APC values will be updated in the G/L directly
when posting to an asset). It is a technical matter that this "Online"-
posting will always be done to ALL(!) ledgers that are defined in the
company code. So whatever Ledger group you assign to depreciation area
01, this will not be considered by any APC value posting, APC
transactions (as well as write-ups) will always be posted in ANY ledger
group in G/L with the values from area 01.
If you then want to setup a scenario in Fixed Asset Accounting, where
you post different valuations (local GAAP / IFRS) to a different ledger
group in G/L for parallel valuation, then you have to use (in total) 3
depreciation areas in the following way. For each additional "valuation"
for which you have additional ledgers defined in G/L, and for which you
want to get different values as those posted in area 01, you need also
two additional depreciation areas (1 real and 1 derived area) in
asset accounting.
So a typical dep.area setting for a parallel ledger is like:
           Real      Posting to G/L         Ledger
Area 01     X            1                   0L
Area XX     X            3                   XX (your ledger code)
Area YY                  6                   XX (your ledger code)
Acquisition/transf/retirement postings in area 01 go to all ledgers
independently of your setting in OADB. And, if any difference occurs
between area 01 an area XX this is posted trough the derived area YY
(posting indicator 6).

Depreciation in Non Leading Ledger at Historical Exchange Rate

Hi All,
Our Company code is using parallel currencies 1LC is CAD, 2nd LC is USD & 3rd LC is GBP. (In T.Code: OB22)
When we look at the values for local currency 3 (GBP) in ledger 0L, all the entries have been translated from CAD to GBP at the same rate each month, which should be the proper treatment. In fact the translation to GBP is occurring at the historical rate for the fixed assets, which is correct.
However when we look at the values for local currency 3 in the parallel ledger (N1) we can see that the same CAD values have different LC3 values each month. The rate being used to translate the depreciation expense changes each month and looks like it is the current rate in place at the time depreciation was run.
We want the depreciation amounts for LC3 that are posted each month to be translated using the historical rate in both the leading (0L) andparallel (N1) ledgers. Our issue is how do we make the change. (Depreciation Run to update Non Leading Ledger N1 with historical exchnge rates as in Leading Ledger 0L.
Unable to understand the system behaviour. The depreciation posting run in the NON Leading ledger should happen with Historical Exchange Rate.
Thanks in Advance

Is there a way to turn off the summary posting that occurs in AFAB, so that your substitution idea could work?
I do not know if there is a setting that causes summarization when posting AFAB, for multiple assets having the same accounting parameters. Is it optional in other words?

Using a PDF form to retrieve data from customers

Hi all,
I am sure this can be done but since I am new to 'all this', I'm not sure how to pose or search for the answer properly. I want to use Acrobat to create a fillable form PDF so that I can send it out to customers. Once they fill the form out and return it to me I can then import the data that resides in the the 'fields' in the background of the PDF form into a database or spreadsheet. Am I thinking about this correctly? At this stage I do not want to pursue hosting the document on a website (for simplicity reasons) but just be able to send somebody the blank form, they fill it out and return it to me and instead of copying the information to a database, I can import the data.
Thank you to any and everyone in advance and if this topic has been answered, please send me in the right direction.
Hartley Eastwood

This is exactly what the Formscentral.adobe.com service will do. Yo prepare the form, uploaded to the server, then you get a link or a download the adobe form with the send bottom. The client will hit the send button and all the information will be store in the server database. From here you can retrieve the information. Hope that this will help.

Retrieving of exchange rate - Excel Add-in/Planning

We have entered exchange rates in Hyperion Planning desktop andrefreshed it to Essbase. We would like to be able to retrievethese rates in Essbase Addin and have not been able to do itdespite retrieving all the possible combinations ofdimensional members. We are sure that something ismissing but is unable to detect it. Can someone please adviseon this? Le'ts just assume that we only have Accounts andEntities in Custom dimensions. The others being the defaultScenarios, Versions, Time Periods and Years. Appreciate anyfeedback. Thanks

You will be able to use Essbase Excel Add-in to view the exchange rates. They are stored under the HSP_Rates dimension. Just make sure that you use the dimension name itself during member selection for Entities, Versions, and Currencies dimensions. Select the members for each dimension as follows: Scenarios: (scenario associated with the exchange rate table) Years: (year(s) to which the rates apply) Time Periods: (level zero time period(s) to which the rates apply) Versions: "Versions" Currencies: "Currencies" Entities: "Entities" Accounts: "HSP_Average", "HSP_Ending" or "HSP_Historical" HSP_Rates: "HSP_Rate_currencycode" eg. "HSP_Rate_USD" -Shoba

Non-leading ledger depreciation area posting depreciation expense at current exchange rate - need to be historical

Hi all,
We are facing an issue where we have a depreciation area "02" posting to our non-leading ledger. It is set to post depreciation only.
I noticed the depreciation expense is hitting the non-leading ledger and translating (CAD) into group currency (USD) at the current exchange rate. But in the leading ledger, the rate is historical.
How can we have the non-leading ledger post at historical exchange rates for depreciation postings?
thx..

Hi Jay,
Check the exchange rate type & translation date maintained for the non leading ledger in OB22.

Exchange rate fetched while calculating depreciation is historical rate

Hello All,
Following is the issue:
As part of depreciation process, SAP posts amount in local and group currency. SAP while converting local currency depreciation value into group currency (USD) isnu2019t able to pick up right foreign currency rate i.e average rate for that month. Instead SAP chooses historical exchange rate which existed at the time of capitalization and converts the depreciation value.
Exchange rates for both historical and average are maintained in OB08.
I would like to know whether any more configuration is required or should i do a debug and understand why historical rate is fetched instead of Average rate
Appreciate an early reply
Best regards,
Sundar

Hello Srinu,
Does ECC 6.0 allows any tweaking in configuration or in the depreciation program to fetch average exchange rate for depreciation?
Appreciate your time!
Regards,
Sundar

Guidance - import exchange rate from a webpage

Hello everyone,
I am now starting a new project and one of the functionalities I wanted to implement is to obtain from a website the exchange rate from one specific currency.
Based on the date and currency I inform in a field, this script, if possible, would consult this webpage and populate another form field with the exchange rate.
Is this possible?
As additional information, the exchange rate can be easily obtained "manually" by accessing the website and informing a date.
Any thoughts on this will be greatly appreciated! Many thanks in advance.

How to get historical currency rate for second group currency transactions in Fixed Assets

Hello,
My client had MXN (Mexico Currency) as a legal currency and when the company code was implemented (went live) group currency was not implemented. After 3 years this company code implemented second local currency as USD and is now a USD functional Company. When Fixed assets movements such as depreciation, retirement etc are posted; the postings in local currency is fine but postings in group currency is not fine the reason is the exchange rate for group currency must be 'historical rate" but instead of that the entries are being posted in "current rate". To rectify this issue we need to set the exchange rate as the historical rate. Now my question is where/how can I get the historical rate (rate when asset was acquired/purchased). When the assets were acquired the amount was in MXN and there was no maintenance of USD exchange rate as there was no second local currency so then how can I get the historical exchange rate for USD. Most of the assets were acquired/purchased before 5-10 years then how can I find the USD exchange rate for those periods.
Thanks,
Rinki

It is necessary yo have a different rate type for average. The month-end rate type cannot be used.
The M-rate type is typically the month-end rate.

Asset Depreciation posting at historical exhange rate in Non-leading LEDGER

Hi Dear collegues
Our client would like to post depreciation at historical exchange rates, but only at certain non-leading ledgers.
So in leading leger the exchange rate should be at the posting day exchange rate, and at the other ledgers should be at historical ledgers. We were thinking that the bes way is to have one valuatio area in Local Currency linked to leading ledge and another asset area attached to the non-leading ledger with a parallel currency area (with historical values). Do you agree with this perspective ?
thanks

Yes you are right, but in our case we have parallel depreciation areas that are posting depreciation document to diferent GL Ledger books. (Dep areas are linked to Ledger books)
So we just are looking for posting at historical exchange rate in one of that no-leading ledger. The rest of areas an Ledgers should post at posting exchange rate
thanks

SCM - DP Exchange Rates

Hello,
Does anyone know if DP applies the correct exchange rate based on the time period? We have time series data going back to 2005 so will the exchange rates from 2005 be applied when doing currency conversions in the data view or will it use the latest exchange rate by default?
If the historical exchange rate is not applied is there a way I can access the historical rate and apply it with a macro? I know there is a function CURR_CONV_FAC( ) but I'm not sure how to indicate the DATE parameter.
Thanks and regards,
Heidi

Hi Heidi.
You have the option of defining the exchange rate type used for the planning area when you create it (to apply it later you will have to delete the times series reset the exchange rate type and then create time series again).
This type refers to the exchange rate tables that work the same way as in ECC. The tables can be updated from the ECC tables using the standard RSIMPCURR program that be set to run regularly to keep it all in line.
Using this method, exchange rates have date validity, so if they are maintained with different rates for different periods this will apply in your planning area in conjunction with the bucket profile.
Hope this helps, Mark.

Yesterday, as today's deadline for filing tax returns approached, I was paralyzed by the inability to create new IRS PDF forms and to retrieve archived ones from a year ago. My computer went crazy. 24 hours later, I am still paralyzed. Can you help?

My computer went crazy yesterday on two occasions involving PDF documents. One dealt with attachments to an email from a bona fide corporation. The other dealt with IRS PDF forms & schedules needed for today's submission.
As both dealt with PDF and had nothing else in common, I suspected my PC had a virus. When I asked a local store technician, he agreed. I turned to Norton, which protects my PC from viruses, and after a few hours of really thorough searching, the computer was found to have no viruses.
Before describing what I call "crazy" computer behavior, you need to know that I have long had IE8 as my default browser but a few weeks ago switched to Mozilla Firefox because IE8 had beome incompatible with some websites from which I get information.
When I received the email from AT&T email service and clicked the first of four icons representing attachments, there was figuratively an explosion on my monitor: a series of new tabs, each called New Tab, burst onto the monitor--but no text or picture. The new tabs appeared faster than I coul kill them. I finally decided just to shut down the computer, hoping they would not reappear when I restarted. I was wrong. After 2 repeats, I decided to forget about the attachments and asked the sender to send them to me by regular mail.
That was no solution for my IRS PDFs. I wanted to complete filling in the various forms and schedules that I had begun months ago so that I could mail them today to the IRS (without having to copy them all in ink). When I tried to open the first one, BOOM. The same thing happened: the blizzard of New Tabs atop blank pages; my IRS form or schedule did not show up. Did the same shutdown/restart routine with the same results.
When I looked at the list of current forms that had to be completed, I noticed something very strange: the icons that began the listing of the documents' names were replaced one by one by Mozilla icons. When I moused over them, they said Firefox HTML. Why?
Starting the day today, I had the same experience. What's more, when I started to retrieve 2012 IRS PDFs from a year ago, the same New Tab tabs appeared and had to be killed, and Mozilla icons replaced whatever icon was there before.
Assuming that the problem arose with Adobe Reader's reading of the PDFs, I contacted Adobe but got no helpful phone number because PDFs are a free service and was directed to use this Forum to get help.
What do I have to do to (a) read and use PDFs in the normal way and (b) remove the Mozilla icon from those that have appeared on icon documents. If Mozilla is the source of the problem, shall I go back to IE8? (In my 80s, I want eventually to replace my old computer but for the time being I must continue using it. It will not take an IE9. Anther possible default browser would be Google Chrome, but I have unfavorable impressions of it because of its intrusiveness, loading my PC with stuff I do not need.
Can you help?

The problem is absolutely not Reader. The problem is that FireFox has stepped in front of Reader and handles all the PDF stuff - wrongly in your case. FireFox is DESIGNED to take over PDF files. But it is not capable of doing IRS forms!
To start with go back to IE for these forms. When you save them to disk DO NOT DOUBLE CLICK ON THEM until this is fixed. Just open the in the normal way - start Adobe Reader and use Open from the File menu.

Hi Paul,
I'm now able to save the retrieved xml in a hidden text field and create dynamic table, and I'm able to fill this table from the XML, but the problem is that I could not find the correct way to loop on the xml, what I'm trying to say, the table will have number of rows with the data of the first row only, so can you tell me the right way to loop on the xml!
this is my code
TextField1.rawValue=xmlData.document.rawValue;
xfa.datasets.data.loadXML(TextField1.rawValue, true, false);
for(var i=0; i<count; i++)
xfa.form.resolveNode("form1.P1.Table1.Row1["+i+"].Num").rawValue = xfa.datasets.data.record.num.value;
xfa.form.resolveNode("form1.P1.Table1.Row1["+i+"].Name").rawValue = xfa.datasets.data.record.name.value;
Table1.Row1.instanceManager.addInstance(true);
