Question regarding Currency translation

Hi Experts,
I have set fixed USD translation in keyfigure properties, but the user wants to check data in local currency by using right context menu on the report with data base currency. But it is not converting to local currency. Please suggest if we set in keyfigure properties will data base currency will not work at query run time. Thank you
Regards,
Manju

Hi Manju
Are you using BW 3.5 or BI 7.0?
Currency translation will work in workbook level also but first you have to disable the currency conversion already applied on the query level. In BI 7.0 you can do that when you right click on the query ->Query properties ->Currency conversion -> Uncheck the check box and choose the currency and translation type.

Questions regarding currency conversion using SPRUNCONVERSION.

Hi all,
I have implemented currency conversion using SPRUNCONVERSION stored procedure. I have following questions regarding how does it work.
1. Is it mandatory to create FxTrans Business Rules with SPRUNCONVERSION?
2. How does it work internally? How does it look up rate from the rate application?
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Any reference to any documents will help.
Thanks&Regards,
Diksha.
(PS: How to document does not explain about how it works).

Hi Diksha,
1. Yes since it will base it's translation rules based on what is defined on the currency conversion business rules.
2. The stored procedure SPRUNCONVERSION scans all records found in the selected region of data and translates them according to the RATETYPE property assigned to the ACCOUNT specified in each record, based on the following mechanism:
Note:
All ACCOUNTS with no RATETYPE (ratetype = blank) will be translated with a factor of 1
All ACCOUNTS with the reserved RATETYPE = NOTRANS will not be translated
All other ACCOUNTS will be translated according to the definitions contained in the table of parameters called clcFXTRANS.
How the RATE table is selected
While most customers require a single table of rates, there are situations when more than one set of rates is required. In this situation, the translation procedure uses the RateEntity dimension to select the correct table of rates to use.
Whenever a destination currency is selected, the procedure searches for a RateEntity member flagged with this currency in the Currency property. For example, if translating into USD, the system uses the RateEntity member that has the Currency property set to USD.
If there is no RateEntity flagged as the destination currency, the system will use the RateEntity with Currency = 'u2019 (blank).
In addition to this, some exceptions by ENTITY can be applied. For example, some entities just entering in the consolidation perimeter may need to be converted at their own specific set of rates. These entities may have a corresponding RateEntity member in the RATE cube. All ENTITIES having a corresponding RateEntity member in the RATE cube will use that member as rate table. For example, if there is a RateEntity member named like the ENTITY USOps, the RateEntity member USOps will be used to translate the values of entity ENTITY USOps.
The RateEntity member, when representing an ENTITY, may be any of the following:
A valid base level or parent member ID from the ENTITY dimension of the main cube
A list of members of the ENTITY dimension, as defined filtering the members using a value of the DIMLIST property (or any property whose name begins with "DIMLISTu201D) of such dimension.
For more info, you could refer to the Administration Help found on the Admin console.
Hope this helps,

Regarding currency translation

hello bw guys
can u help me regarding the question
Currency conversions can be written in updates rules why not in transfer rules?

Hi,
Since the business logic is defined in the update rules and all the reports are based out of the ODS/Cube the best place to have the currency translation would have been the update rules. If it existed in the transfer rules then you would have define it the same no. of times as the no. of source system.
Hope this helps.

Regarding currency translation for Display attribute(key figure)

Hi Gurus,
How can i do currency conversion for MATERIAL COST(key figure) ,which is Display Attribute of MATERIAL...
thanks advancely.......
CHANDRA

Hi,
You can create the currency conversion type in the T code RSCURR.
Here are the steps...
1.     Transaction for creating currency translation type is RSCURR
2.     Choose the Exchange rate, Source currency, Target Currency and the Time reference in the respective tabs.
3.     In the query definition choose the Currency Conversion Key in the properties of the Key-figure.

Currency Translation question

When the currency translation is executed..it overwrite the reporting currency by new amount.
Q1>>How to find out additive impact by each each account for currency translation changes.?
For example I have 1000 accounts, which for which currency translation is executed. Can I know the currency translation changes per each account seperately for reporting purpose?
Client wants to do the complete audit trail of amount posted by currency translation. is it possible..
How it is possible. Is it possible thru movement type to track the currency translation by each account?
Q2>>DATASRC dimension has a property IS_CONSOLIDATED? has some one used it before? What it is used for?
Please explain a bit..because the documentation from SAP is very brief..
Apprecaite inputs...

Hi Doodwala,
I'm not sure I'm following your question 1. Do you mean that you want to track the difference between the new and old reporting currency amount when the LC amount changes? Or do you want to track the change in the translated amount if the rate changes (or more likely using a different rate)?
If your audit requirement is to track every record change then it is going to be very arduous to do this in a custom way. I'd recommend looking into the delivered audit trail functionality to see if that meets your requriements. There is a bit of information about this functionality here: [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bpc70sp02/helpdata/en/e1/8999faf82c4a61acd65683a8cedafe/frameset.htm]
Question 2 was asked and answered in this thread: [IS_CONSOLIDATED in DATASRC;

Currency translation taking more time at first time in the report

Hi All,
Here is an issue regarding the currency translation in the report. when we click on the currency translation from the contaxt menu on the report, its taking more time for the first time to get the selection options. But it is fast from the second time onwards. It will be not user friendly if its takes more time for the first time. Is there any way to fast up the processing time for the first time when i go for the "currency translation" option at report level for the first time.
let me know why it takes more time for the first time when we go for this option at report level.
Thanks,
Jack

Once again from the top.
This is undoubtedly not a database issue.
I doubt you can fix it in the database.
You can, however, spend a lot of hours asking questions and poking around if you are a consultant paid by the hour.
But as long as you are looking for something to do here are some that won't fix the problem but may be worth a few minutes of your time.
WHERE 1 = 1Are you kidding? Drop this nonsense. The Oracle optimizer is not brain dead. If it were my database I would also drop the parallel hint like a bad habit.
/*+ parallel(rp1, 8) */Again the Oracle optimizer is not brain dead. Ask for parallel threads that don't exist and the database will just queue your SQL and let it sit there until sufficient resources become available.

BPC 7.5 NW - Exchange Rates & Currency Translation

Hello All,
I have a couple of questions regarding the BPC currency translation process.
1. We have two options to store the exchange rates - either as a direct quote or as an indirect quote. How are the exchange rates stored in the BPC system?
2. We have a property called "MD" in the InputCurrency dimension, which is used as a 'factor' in the currency translation process. I would like to know how this property is used, in conjunction with the direct/indirect method of maintaining the exchange rates.
As always, thanks for all your responses.
Best regards,
Van.

Thanks for the response. I do realize that we can enter the exchange rates either via a flat file or an Input Schedule, and also how the "MD" factor is utilized in the currency translation process.
I will try to rephrase my questions, as below:
1. In ECC, we have the option to maintain the exchange rates either as a direct rate or an indirect rate. Similary, I would like to know how the exchange rates are "_stored_" in the BPC system - as indirect quotations or direct quotations.
2. In addition, I would also like to know how the "MD" property in the InputCurrency dimension should be maintained. In other words, let us say that the exchange rates are stored as direct quotes. How do we maintain the "MD" property in the inputcurrency dimension for this exchange rate - M or D?
Hope my questions are a bit more clear now.
Appreciate all your responses.

Cons Units with diff LC and GC & Currency Translation.

Hello,
My question is regarding Currency Tanslation;
We have some cons units which has different LC and GC (Ex: EUR and USD). These cons units does not require currency translation in BCS as the group currency value coming from R/3 is already translated. If I do not include these cons units in the task the system is throwing an error in the monitor saying "Currency Trans Task cannnot be executed".
Is there a way I can configure in the method or task to ignore some cons units from Currency translation even though the local currency is different from group currency.
Thanks

Hi Anoop
Currency translation occur on LC. Check in the Cons unit master data regarding local currency and check in reported data which values are getting either LC or GC (Ex: EUR and USD)

BEx Currency Translation for planned Currency rate

Dear Experts,
The requirement of my query is to convert the key figures to Group Currency (EUR) at a fixed exchange rate defined by the user in the beginning of a planning cycle.
In the IMG I have created an Exchange Rate type for manual input and defined the exchange rate for a fix date for the currencies I want to convert.
When creating Currency conversion type (tcode RSCUR) in the tab Exchange Rate Ive chosen my Exchange Rate type and the option Dynamic Exchange Rate Determination. In the Currency tab Ive chosen a variable of manual input for the currency and the option Target Currency Selection with translation. In the Time Ref. I opted for a fixed time reference.
On the query definition I choose Currency conversion type and the variable I created for it.
Can anyone tell me how can we allow the user to commute between the two currencies in the query for the same translation?
Another question/problem is that we are using the table TCURR for keeping the exchange rates for the planning process. Does anyone has a different solution to keep this currency rates?
Many Thanks and Best Regards,

Hi
So these planning functions work in the same way as the BEx Currency translation? it makes the currency conversion to present the data in the new currency. If I save the data I will keep the data in the new currency, am I right?
**Yes.**
If I am using the same Key figure for source and target key figure can I still use the standard IP function?
**Yes.**
And if I wanted to convert back to the original currency I had to create a new planning function and a new currency translation type to do the opposite?
**You can try Repost Function.**

Running Currency translation

Hi experts,
We have customized the currency translation on the group currency way.
The process is working right when we select next values on the variants:
Group variant: group_G
Entity variant: all the entities that belong to group G.
The problem comes when we want to execute the currency translation just over one entity. All the previos data we have converted over the group_G and repotring currency(EUR) members is deleted and only the entity we have converted lastly has converted data. It seems the process overwrite all the range of data you select on the variants.
My question is if it is possible to convert just a entity without deleting the rest of the previous converted entities. It means to use like a merge instead of replace on the process.
Maybe this is the standart behaviour of the currency translation when you use the group currency customizing.
Did anybody have this problem before?
Regards.

Hi Rushendra,
By running UJKT the error had come to light and the issue has been resolved..
Thanks a lot

Currency Translation on Key Date for AR Aging

Need your valuable advice!
I have created an AR Aging query including both Open and Cleared Items based on 0FIAR_C03_Q0005 standard query. However the requirement is to do currency translation to Group Currency (USD) on Key Date. This Key date is defaulted to today but the user can change this to go back in time and pull all the ARs as of that back dated key date.
I was planning to create a currency translation type on M rate based on the Key Date Variable in RSCUR. However I am confused on which variable to base this currency translation. I have several key date variables in my query such as 0P_KEYD2 (based on Posting Date), 0P_KEYDT (based on Net Due Date) and 0P_KEYD3 (based on Clearing Date).
Which Key Date Variable should I use in 'Time Reference from Variable' field in RSCUR? Would it be one of the 3 mentioned above or something else and why?
Appreciate your valuable advice.
Thanks,
Al

Hi,
Yes I do want to use the Key date from the variable screen and I am using the standard 0FIAR_C03_Q005 with slight modification including currency translation.
As I mentioned in my original post I have several key date variables in this query such as 0P_KEYD2 (based on Posting Date), 0P_KEYDT (based on Net Due Date) and 0P_KEYD3 (based on Clearing Date). My question is which one should I use if I want to base it on the specific key date variable from the variable screen? I need the specific Key Date variable technical name.
Thanks,
Al

Currency Translation

Hi,
We have different needs for the currency translation depending on the financial statement items an movement type.
So, we have defined 2 methods (and 2 tasks) all different.
They are different also in the exchange rate type for the reference translation.
That is, for example:
First method (task):
Exchange rate type for the reference translation (1003 - Historical exchange rate)
Step:
   Investment items
    and type of movement (100 u2013 beginning balance)
Specific translation:
u2022     Currency translation key: periodic
u2022     Exchange rate type: EURX (EMU regulation, variable exchange rates)
Item (Translation Difference):
Item (58200)
    Subitem (58201)
Second method (task)
Exchange rate type for the reference translation (1002 - Average exchange rate)
Step:
    Income statement items
Specific translation:
u2022     Currency translation key: periodic
u2022     Exchange rate type: EURX (EMU regulation, variable exchange rates)
Item (Translation Difference):
    Item (58200)
    Subitem (58202)
PROBLEM:
When we run the methods at consolidation monitor, the second task affects the result of the first task.
The result from the first task is correct.
When we run the second task, which is for income statement items (not this as the first one u2013 investments), System is creating a new step (a cumulative one), which is changing the Exchange rate type for the reference translation of this item; meaning is changing the previous correct values.
Why is this happening?

Thanks for your answer.
So, what you're saying is that I cannot have several Exchange rate type for the reference translation according to financial statement items/movement types?
I always have to have the same Exchange rate type for the reference translation for all the items/movement types?
Thanks for your help.
Best regards.

Currency Translation Using 'Time Reference'

Hey Experts,
Quick question.
Has anybody had experience performing the planning function 'Currency Translation' <b>BUT</b> using the 'Time Reference' field.
My goal is to have it translate the currency based on Fiscal year/period, using the fiscal 'year/period END' to determine the translation date.
However in the paremeter group for currency translation, when I click on the 'Time reference' Drop-down button to select, it's blank, and give me no choices to pick anything. Have I missed something here? Are there any other prior steps I've ignored?
I already have the fiscal year/period characteristic defined on my level.. and I've defined my 'Targ.Curr' as USD.
I can't find much documantation except for the basic help button, but that doesn't really say much.
Any advice..?
Thank All.

Hi,
If I understand you correctly, am I then to assume using the Fiscal year/Period '0FISCPER' will not work. The F1 help say it should.
And are you saying if I use Fiscal year '0FISCYEAR' and/or Posting Period '0FISCPER3' instead, it should work by giving me the option of choosing the start or end of these two fields when I click on the drop-down of the Time Reference??
The way I have this defined is as follows.
At the level I have both:
Fiscal year/Period '0FISCPER' -> 001/2006 to 012/2007.
Fiscal year '0FISCYEAR' -> 2006 to 2007.
In my Paramter Group I have the following definition:
Target Key Figure: Value in Object currency
Source Key Figure: Value in CO Currency
Exch.Rate: 001P
Char.Target.Crcy: Currency
Curr,Date: Is currenctly Flagged, but will remove it once I have the Time Reference field working.
At the Planning area, I have a characteristic relationship defined as a derivation using 'Type' reference data, whereby the Fiscal year (0FISCYEAR) is referenced from the Fiscal year/Period (0FISCPER), and the Posting period (0FISCPER3) also references the Fiscal year/Period (0FISCPER) that are currently stored in my transactional cube.
Based on the above, I still don't get anything to choose from when I click on the drop-down for the 'Time Reference' field in the currency translation.
If you could perhaps do some screen dumps of the level you defined, characteristic relationship, as well as how u defined the parameter group, that may help.
You can attach email it to '[email protected]'.
Sorry for the confusion, but I think I'm missing something obvious and simple here..!!
Thanks

Currency translation - not picking up currencies from master data

Hi,
We have a currency translation defined for a key figure. We've defined a variable for users to select target currency. 0currency is set to pick up from master data, but the input help on the variable is only showing currencies from infoprovider. I debugged the query and it is trying to get the currencies from the cube. Any setting that I do or update?
We're using BW 7.3 SP10 on HANA.

HI
Once check in the BEx tab of that IO, there select the f4 option.

Currency Translation at Infocube Level

Hi All,
Currency Translation is possible at Infocube Level ? I am working on BI 7.0.
I am working on Infocube 0IC_C03 where i have 2 key figures. 1) 0ISSVS_VAL 2) 0RECVS_VAL. I am getting value in USD,DKK & EUR. I have a requirement to add more 2 keyfigures 1) ZISSVS_VAL (USD) 2) ZRECVS_VAL(USD) where both my keyfigures will transfer all the values in USD.
Here i see a problem is 0ISSVS_VAL & 0RECVS_VAL is getting calculated in start routine and getting stored in 0IC_C03 info cube now i want 2 more keyfigures to be added in Infocube and should get calculated from 0ISSVS_VAL & 0RECVS_VAL. i think it may be possible by END ROUTINE ? Correct me if i am wrong. if it is correct then I haven't worked on End Routine before. if anyone can let me know the ABAP for the same, i really appreciate..
Regards,
Komik Shah

Hi Sudeep,
Thanks for your response. Can you send me some ABAP code as from where to start ?
