Query Designer Exchange Rate

Hi All,
I have setup my own BI currency conversion type which i am using in my reports to convert from Euro to USD.
This currency conversion type is one flat rate so that for each specific month of my report it uses the same rate.
I am now maintaining a different rate for each month and I am looking to use this different rate for each month in my query by making my currency conversion type into a 'Variable Time Reference'.
This works well for fields in the format Fiscal Year Period(0FISCPER) and Calendar Month(0CALMONTH) e.g. 001.2010.
My problem is that my report columns are not in this format, I am using a combination of both 0FISCYEAR and 0FISCPER3 in the column selections seperately and therefore I am having an issue making this conversion type into a time reference variable as in the transaction RSCUR I seem to only have the option of using 0FISCPER or 0CALMONTH.
Any ideas on how I can make this work when the year and month are seperate fields?
Thanks

Hi,
You will have to design two currency translation types for T and T+1.
This design you should do in rscur transaction.
But you should be maintaining the currency rates in ob08 table in BI.
In rscur,you define your two currency translation types..Then these two
currency translation types(say x and y) has to be used with keyFigure
selling price..When you add selling price in keyfigure column, you can
see one currency translation tab for that key figure..add x as the currency
translation type.Similarly you can do for y too..
Please assign points if it helped you

Query on Exchange rate field causing summation

Hi
I have used Sales Item cube. When i query in BEX on Sales order, item no and exchange rate it is perfect. But when i query only on Sales order no and Exchange rate. The exchange rate displayed is cumulative of all Exchange rates in items.
Ex. Sales order   item Ex-Rate
        15000001     0001 4.1
        15000001     0002 4.1
But when i query on SO and Ex-rate
    Sales order    Ex-Rate
        15000001    8.2
Instead should show me as 4.1 only.
Any help is higly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
Exchange rate is the type of key figure that is difficult to report on. Even for the same order #, there may be different exchange rates applicable to different lines. Try to get the basic logic to apply exchange rates, the extractor may already providing the rates....if the rates are same for all line items or below that, then probably you can display the average ( try average of non-zero rows).
But I would suggest to derive the rates dynamically from the displayed value (after conversion) and the database value.
Hope this helps.

Exchange rate issue at PO & Invoice area

Hi Gurus,
I have a scenario, Creation of PO time i'm getting EUR conversion rate 1.345 to an USD rather than to get 1.502. Prior to this i have checked the OB08 there my rate shows 1.502 for the particular period but by default it's pulling the conversion rate as 1.345 which wrong right now, if the user not know abt this conversion rate then it become an issue.
How to restrict and get it correct rate, what could be the reason plz.
Could any body through some light on this issue plz.
Points are avail, thanks in advance.

Hi All,
This was happend bcoz of alternative Ex. rate existing for "M" Ex. rate as "EURX".
At Ex. rate table maintenance, I take out the 'EURX' rate for 'M' than the problem was solved.. it's picking the 'M' Ex. rate promptly..
You can see at query: M exchange rate is over riding by Eurx... in sdn.sap.com, it gives more understanding.
Thanks for your valuable inputs..

Exchange rate in query designer.

would like to create a query on query designer,
in the selection screen, there is choice of currency to a year T and there is also choice of currency to a year T +1, the purpose of reporting is to compare the selling price of a product with two currencies different.
Can you help me to design this query so complex.

Message appears at time of query results: NO EXCHANGE RATE FROM

I am executing query using a new currency translation type "ZPERAVG". Variable time reference is defined on End of period for 0FISCPER with exchange rate M1 (Monthly Average). Tested successfully. Purpose is to represent monthly values at differing monthly conversion rates. When I employ this object in existing queries I am getting informational messages as follow:
NO EXCHANGE RATE FROM EUR to USD and Date 01/31/2004. This repeats 23 other time for periods to 12/31/2005. My TCURR table does not include these M1 conversions. First period is 01/31/2006. Is there a way around this nuisance message. It will only confuse the user community.
A second information message also may occur: Error occurred during currency .... however, results appear correct.
I have no explanation as to why these random messages appear.

You will have to upate TCURR with monthly average exchange rates for each month starting with January 2004 and going through December 2005, for conversion from Euros to US Dollars. The error being thrown is truly an error because the system is unable to calculate the conversion due to no exchange rate being available for the timeframe.

How i can give date in each input for applying the exchange rate in Query.

Hi Gurus,
We have a requirement to create some currency conversion queries. In the selection screen user should be able to give four inputs. Like given below
Input 1.          a) key figures
                        b) Fiscal Year
                        c) Fiscal Period
                        d) Exchange Rate Type
                        e) Date (Exchange rate will be applied which is applicable on the given date)
Input 2.         a) key figures
                        b) Fiscal Year
                        c) Fiscal Period
                        d) Exchange Rate Type
                        e) Date (Exchange rate will be applied which is applicable on the given date)
Input 3.          a) key figures
                        b) Fiscal Year
                        c) Fiscal Period
                        d) Exchange Rate Type
                        e) Date (Exchange rate will be applied which is applicable on the given date)
Input 4.          a) key figures
                        b) Fiscal Year
                        c) Fiscal Period
                        d) Exchange Rate Type
                        e) Date (Exchange rate will be applied which is applicable on the given date)
So we will have 4 key figures in the query results with the exchange rate applied on the given date.
I will make four restricted key figures and make the query. I do not know how i can give date in each input for applying the exchange rate.
Please give your suggestions to resolve my problem.
Many thaks in advance.

You can not bring the key figures in the selection screen for the currency translation. Instead you can apply a currency translation type to respective key figures in the query definition.
The currency translation type can be defined in RSCUR transaction, where you can maintain the parameters like Exchange Rate Type, Exchange Rate Date etc.
You can refer one of my article on this at
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/600157ec-44e5-2b10-abb0-dc9d06ba6c2f

SAP Query Exchange Rate from Sales Order

I have created a SAP query which has has a field which converts the sales invoice values in a foreign currency to the local currency using function 'CONVERT_TO_LOCAL_CURRENCY' this uses the rates stored in OB08.
Now we want to change this so that the exchange rate on the actual order line is used(VBAK-WAERK) instead of the current exchange rate, do you know how I can do this? Do I need to create bespoke function to do this?
thanks
Joe

Hi,
Please do following steps :
IMG --> Sales and Distribution --> Billing à Maintain Copying Control For Billing Documents (VTFL).
Write following logic in include - RV60AFZC. In this write code in exit USEREXIT_FILL_VBRK_VBRP
if vbrp-kursk <> vbrk-kurrf.
vbrk-kurrf = vbrp-kursk .
vbrk-kurrf_dat = vbrp-kursk_dat.
endif.
Maintain Exchange rate type in XD01 - Sales data - in Sales tab maintain new Exch. Rate Type.
Please check whether after doing above steps your issue gets resolved.

Exchange rate query

Hi SAP Gurus,
In OB08 i created 2 exchange rate
Exchange Rate---Valid From---Indirect quotatRatiofrom-direct quo--ratio--to
1. M--01/01/2001N/A1---GBP-1.5000--1--USD
2.M--27/7/20105.100001USDN/A1--GBP
Here the co code currency is USD, now when in try to do F-02 using GBP as the curr then the system is auto picking the exchange rate of direct quo that is 1.50000.
I just want to know how can system auto pick the indirect quo entered
Regards.

Hi,
In the standard SAP System in transaction ONOT for currencies GBP --> USD it is maintained as "1 Direct quotation" , hence the system is taking only direct quotation value maintained 1.5000.
In case, if you want the indirect quoation value to be pickedup for the combination change the flag to "2 Indirect quotation" in transaction ONOT, the system will pick 5.10000.
Do let me know if still have any issue.

Power Query - Free Currency Exchange Rate Feed?

Hi Folks
Does anyone know of a free or low cost exchange rate / FX feed that PowerQuery can plug into (say via Odata)? I need monthly FX data with history going back 3-4 years.
Cheers

Hi Ben
Thanks for the reply. That page does Parse well. However the monthly FX history page (link below) which is the dataset I am after, doesn't seem to parse at all :(.

One Conversion Type and two Exchange Rate Types in one report

I have Conversion Type called TEST. In this Conversion Type there is Exchange Rate Type D selected (D-daily). I have also Fixed Target Currency selected. And the report works perfectly fine....BUT.......there is also Exchange Rate Type M defined in the system (and it used for the exchange rate used last day of the month).
The question is: how to put both Exchange Rate Types into one Conversion Type so both types are used in the reports?

Hi,
You can go for a variable exchange rate type.
Creating variable:
For this you have create a varible which can take diffrent exchange rate types.
Open query designer create a new dummy query in that search for infoprovider 0RTYPE.
It will have one dimension(name ->key) with 0RTYPE in it.
create a variable for 0RTYPE.
Save and close the query.
goto RSCUR -> give your translation type -> go to exchange rate tab -> choose Ex. Rate from var option -> give the variable you have created prviously for 0RTPYE.
Rest all same but just for completion...
Go to your query in which in u want to do cur conversion.
Double click on the key fig
Go to conversions tab-> select the conversion type u created in RSCUR.
When you run the query you can select the exchange rate type in the variable screen.

Add Exchange rate type to Selection Screen in BEx

BW Experts,
Business raised a request to add Exchange Rate Type(KURST) from TCURR table in the selection screen of BEx so that they can select the required rate and target currency for a particular key figure.
In Query Designer we can provide variable for currency by going into the context menu of key figure but not sure how to provide a variable on Currency Conversion Key.
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance.
-Bobby.

Hi there,
You could with user exit define a variable ready for imput but in step 1 prefill the variable with only those values, but this would still when the user executes when pressing F4 be able to check all that. Nevertheless that variable would be prefilled with the values you wish in user exit.
Another option is to mark 0RTYPE in RSD1 as authorization relevant and manage different authorization values for the users. This way you could when the user presses F4 see only values he/she is authorized.

Currency Conversion problem in query designer

Hi,
A requirement has come that infoobject which contain multiple currency type, need to convert into a single currency type in Bex reporting as user want to see only one currency value in report.
There are three keyfigures refering different calenders for conversion. For examle . GR amount is based on GR date, IR amount is based on IR date and PO amount is based on Doc date. Query is build based on a infoset.
I am doing following steps to achieve the task::
1. In TCODE - RSCUR, created three Currency Conversion Type each for GR, IR and PO and each one refering different 0calday calender
2. Defined exchange Rate Type as "M"
3. Currency Tab -> Source Currency = "Source Currency from data Record"
    Target Currency -> Fixed Target Currency = "USD"
4. Time Ref. Tab -> Fixed Time ref. = "Current Date"
    Variable time reference = "To the exact day"
    Special InfoObject = <InfoObject name>
5. In query designer, Key figure property for GR amount -> Conversion -> Conversion type = <Name of Currency Conversion Type which defined in RSCUR>
6. Repeated the same for IR Amount and PO Amount key figure
While saving, getting following error::
*Cannot apply Currency translation type <Currency type name> in Infocube <Infoset name>. *
Diagnosis
You tried to translate a query element with the currency translation type <Currency type name>. The translation type <Currency type name>, however, has variable time reference or variable target currency relevant to characteristic Document Date. Characteristic Document Date is also not available in InfoProvider <Infoset name> and it references either none or more than one characteristic () of the InfoProvider for Document Date, or Document Date is not a base characteristic.
System Response
Procedure
Adjust the query definition or create a special currency translation type for one of the characteristics .
Please help!
Please note that there are three key figures which need conversion using different calenders.
Sanjiv

Hello,
I have done the same what you said, but same error still showing....
I also tried to change from "Special InfoObject" to Infoset level and it works with one KF. Since all three KF are under one Infoset and there is limitation that if Currency Conversion Type is defined on Infoset level then only one KF will be assigned for a Infoset where as I am using three KFs with three relevant time characteristic.
Any suggesion from others?

Currency Translation: Query use different Rates based on country/Currency

Hi Friends,
There is a requirement from our client to apply two different Exchange Rates on the rows of a single query (based on the Inflationary status of countries/Currencies).
For regular set of countries(or Local currencies), we want normal P&L Rate to be applied on local curency.
But at the same time if it is a High Inflationary country (or currency), the Global Currency should be displayed as it is without any translation.
Both these effects should happen and appear on the same Key figure column.
How can we achieve this?
Looking forward to have your inputs. Thanks in Anticipation!

Hi Vikram,
Thanks for the suggestion.
It seems as if this suggestion could work only when we want to excute for a given country code. In Reality the query will be executed for all countries in one go and we want the query result rows follow different logic for Different LEs or Currency.
Any further Ideas Pls. Thanks!

Issue with indirect Quotation Exchange rates...

Hi All,
I am using FM 'POSTING_INTERFACE_CLEARING' to clear the customer open items.
While posting with indirect quotation exchange rates i.e BKPF-KURSF is in negative.It is throwing below error
"The Exchange rate may not be transferred if negative".
When i check it in BKPF table the value is saved like exp: '/1.9010'. for select query it is picking like '1.9010-'
How to resolve this issue.? it is very urgent.
Thanks in Adv.
Regards,
Raj.

Hi,
I gave the OB08 entries, not sure if you wanted me to explain the logic. Here it is..
Maintain 'Indirect quotation' from Local currency(USD) to Transaction currency(CAD) and 'Direct quotation' from Transaction currency(CAD) to Local currency(USD).
Direct quotation is where the cost of one unit of foreign currency is given in units of local currency, whereas indirect quotation is where the cost of one unit of local currency is given in units of foreign currency.
Your local currency is USD:
- Direct exchange rate: 1CAD = 0.92819 USD
- Indirect exchange rate: 1USD = 1.08238 CAD
The following settings have been made in the standard system:
- Direct quotation: ' '
-   Indirect quotation: ' / '
Direct exchange rates do not have a prefix.
Your local currency is USD. You enter a business transaction in the transaction currency CAD. Until now, you had to use direct quotation to enter the exchange rate (1CAD =0.92819 USD). If you have defined '/' as the prefix for indirect quotation, you can also enter the exchange rate with indirect quotation (1 USD = 1.08238 CAD) by entering '/1.08238' in the exchange rate field.
Direct or indirect quotation can be maintained as the standard form of quotation for a certain currency pair. You use:
         - '1' for direct quotation
         - '2' for indirect quotation
If a standard form of quotation has not been specified for a currency pair, the system automatically uses direct quotation.
You make the settings in the IMG: General Settings -- Currencies -- Set Standard for Direct/Indirect Quotation per Currency Pair.
Thanks
Ganesh
