Re:Currency Conversion In Intercompany Transactions Currency Rate

Hi FI Experts ,
We have a Scenario of Intercompany transactions .
Kenya - KES
Uganda - UGX
1 KES = 25 UGX
When posting is done in the UGX, amount in Local Currency is getting multiplied with 25 instead of dividing it by 25 to convert into Local Currency ie KES
Please Help how to go about ....
Regards,
Sriram

Srirama,
You need to make sure that you have a translation ration as 1:1 for KES to UGX and UGX to KES. Then you need to maintain the FX rates in OB08 transaction as follows:
1 KES = 25 UGX and
1UGX = 0.04 KES
You have to specify this otherwise the system won't give you the proper results.

Currency conversion with the wrong exchange rate type

Hi,
I need a currency conversion in my bex query. I have defined a currency translation key with a assignment to the exchange rate type "M".
When I check the results in the query it works with exchange rate type "EURX".
Exchange rates are in the TCURR.
Can anyone help me.
Thanks in advance
Jürgen

Hello,
We just had the same issue, and in checking the Currencies: Translation Ratios in transaction OBBS, I noticed that the currency translation key in question was set up with an entry of "EURX" in the "Alt. ERT" column.
I copied the line and created a new entry with a "Valid From" date of the current month, but without the "EURX" Alt. ERT alternate and that seemed to solve it.
Anything entered with a date after the new Valid From date would use the manually entered exchange rate, while anything with a prior date continued to use the EURX rate.
It appears to me that the "Alt. ERT" functions more as an override than an alternate, so if you want the system to actually use the "M" rate, I believe you have to ensure there is nothing in the "Alt. ERT" column.
I hope this helps.

Currency Conversion - update rules for average rate

I am working in BI 7.0
I have a currency conversion I have defined with RSCUR with the exchange rate type 'M' defined in SPRO -> General Settings -> Currencies -> Exchange Rate Types. The currency conversion takes place in my update rules. I've set my 'Time Reference' to 'End of Period'.
I want the conversion to be an average of all rates for the fiscal period. If I check my table using 'OB08', I find my conversion is only using the rate for the last day of the Fiscal Period. It is not averaging all the rates.
My question is this. Can I actually average all the rates for the fiscal period using RSCUR? Do I need to have the people on the R/3 side have the rates be averages? Meaning, the rates they update are not currency rates for that specific day but a running average for the month?
What are the best practices for average rates for currency translations for update rules based on a Fiscal Period?
Edited by: Michael Pepper on Mar 3, 2008 8:37 AM

Hi MIchel,
If you want the conversion to be an average of all rates for the fiscal period.
Check under the cloumn ExRt
you may find some row as description as "Average exchange rate"
Create Currency Conversion type with that exrt type.
use this Currency Conversion type in u'r query for u'r keyfigure.
hope this will be helpfull...........for this you can contact Fi people.

FAGLFLEXA - Transaction Currency vs Document (Original Transaction Currency

Hi
I have seen entries sitting in the FAGLFLEXA table - where for a single FI document there are multiple Transaction Currencies eg
           TC      LC       GC       OrigTrnsCrcy
Doc 1 USD   GBP    GBP      USD
Doc 1 GBP   GBP    GBP      USD
In the header of the document, this document is showing with USD as the document currency.
I thought TC was Document Currency - so is this normal behaviour ?
Regards

Murali
in FAGLFLEXA, we have the following value fields;
TSL     VTCUR12     CURR     23     2     Value in Transaction Currency
HSL     VLCUR12     CURR     23     2     Value in Local Currency
KSL     VGCUR12     CURR     23     2     Value in Group Currency
OSL     VOCUR12     CURR     23     2     Value in Another Currency
MSL     QUAN1_12     QUAN     23     3     Quantity
WSL     VWCUR12     CURR     23     2     Value in Original Transaction Currency (Document Currency)
As you can see there is Transaction Currency & Original Transaction Currency (Document Currency).
I am trying to understand why these 2 fields would contain different currencies upon posting.

Currency Conversion - Rate Type Selection

I have a BEx query that displays key figure in 3 columns inside a structure, using variable rate types (one rate type per column). We have rate types P, P1, and P2 loaded into currency tables.
I run this query with the following selection criteria:
Column 1 -- Key Figure in Local Currency (BRL)
Column 2 -- Key Figure converted from BRL to EUR using rate type P
Column 3 -- Key Figure converted from BRL to EUR using rate type P2
For some reason column 2 is converted using rate type P1, instead of rate type P, even though rate type P1 is not even part of the selection screen. Column 3 is converted correctly, using rate type P2. I enter the same time period for all 3 columns, and rate types P and P2 both exist for this time period.
Do you know what's going on here?
Thank you.
Nadia

Hi,
see if there is any currency conversuion type used in you report.
It can be checked in the properties of the key figures.
you can go to RRC3 to check which echange arte is used by this currency conversion.
Or if currency conversion is happening at the update rule then check if which is the exchange rate used there.
Once you have seen the exchange rate...go to t-code SPRO
SAP Netweavet->General Settings->Currencies->Enter Exchange rate .
here you cah check the latest exchange rate ...from currency to currency...and the values...based on settings of you currency conversion type it will chose the factor.
Thanks

Currency Conversion for Exchange rate type "AS02"

Hi Experts,
I am gonna post the most challenging problem (regarding currency conversion) I ever faced in my 1 year of BW Carrier.Kindly provide a solution.
There are three types of currency to be used in the query for Key Figure 0NET_VALUE (so total 3 Key Figures to be created)
   1.Document currency (may be any currency)
   2.Local Currency (must be EURO)
   3.Global Currency (must be USD)
From Document currency to Local Currency(EURO) we are using Exchange rate Type "M" (in Conversion Type created in Trans RRC1) [There is no problem in this conversion]
Problem starts now--->
From Local Currency(EURO) to Global Currency(USD) we have to use Exchange rate type "AS02" (in conversion type to be created in RRC1)
but there is a Business requirement that currency rate should be as per the last day of the entered period;and this logic should work for the range of periods also.
Example :
we are executing query for the period 006/2006 (posting Period)
Last day of this period is 06/30/2006,
Currency rate would be as per 06/30/2006
And this currency rate should be same throughout the period 006/2006 in query
The example was for single period,but logic must be incorporated for the range of the periods.

Hi..
There is no corresponding source key figure in the InfoSource for the target key figureof the InfoCube.
a. A source key figure of the same type can be assigned to the target key figure
(for example, sales revenue instead of sales quantity revenue).
If the currencies of both of the key figures are the same, no currency
translation can take place.
If the currencies are different, a translation can take place either using a
currency translation type or by simply assigning a currency.
The following table provides an overview of possible combinations with different
currencies in the source and target key figures:
if Source key figure currency is fixed , Target key figure currency is variable then Currency translation (CT) No CT
if Source key figure currency is fixed , Target key figure currency is fixed then Currency translation (CT)   CT
if Source key figure currency is variable , Target key figure currency is fixed then Currency translation (CT)   CT
if Source key figure currency is variable , Target key figure currency is variable then Currency translation (CT) CT or assignment
b. If there is no corresponding source key figure of the same type, then you have
to fill the key figure for the data target from a routine.
If the target key figure has a fixed currency, no currency translation is
carried out. This means that if translation is required, you have to execute
it in the routine.
If the target key figure has a variable currency, you also have to assign
a variable source currency to the routine. Using the F4 help you can
select a currency from the variable currencies in the communication
structure. You have two options:
You can select a variable currency and assign it.
You select a currency translation type and a currency into which you
wish to translate (To currency).
The To currency is, by default, the target currency if it is included in the
communication structure.
Creating a Routine for Currency Translation:
If you want to translate currencies in the update even though the currency translation is not
available for one of the above reasons, you can create a routine. Choose Routine, set the
Unit Calculation in the Routine and choose Create Routine. In the routine editor you get
the additional return parameter UNIT, the value of which is used to determine the target
1. save the query and it under role
   see to it is in   : Restricted and calculated key figures --->   properties of k.f
2. exeute the query
3. the currency translation --> by target currency usd choose OK
conversion type : MEANTODAY Fixed target currency current date (MT)
4. Go back to the query definition by chossing chage query ( global definiton)
5. in the context menu for % share sales vouume of incoming orders, choose properties --> formula collision --> result form this formula choose OK
Note that -
your should alos set the currency translation in the properties for the two key figures sales voule EUR , choose properties ---> currency conversion key : fixed target currency , currrent date ( MT) --> target currency : American Dollar . choose   OK
<b>The translation key is a combination of different parameters that establish how the exchange rate for the translation is executed.
The parameters that determine the exchange rate are the source and the target currency, the exchange rate type and the time reference for the translation.</b>
The source currency is determined from the data record or dynamically from the master data of the specified InfoObject (currency attribute)
The target currency can either be fixed in the translation key or selected at the time of translation.
You can also use an InfoObject (currency attribute) to determine the target currency.
The exchange rate type distinguishes exchange rates that are valid in the same time frame next to each other, for example, the bid rate, ask rate or middle rate. The exchange rate types are stored and can be maintained in a central table (TCURV).
The time reference for the currency translation can be either fixed or variable
The fixed time reference can either be a fixed key date that is stored in the translation type, or be determined using the system date when executing the currency translation.
If the time reference is variable, then the point in time for the exchange rate determination comes from the value of a time characteristic (InfoObject). The reference can, for example, be the end or the start of a fiscal year or a calendar year, a period and a month or even to the exact day. It can also be determined using a customer-specific InfoObject (for example, trading day).
Currency translation in the BEx
When selecting a translation key with a fixed target currency     this currency will be added automatically to the query definition
Also, you can use translation keys selecting their target currency at the time of translation. These can be applied in two different ways:
Selection of a specific target currency in the query definition (1)
Entry by variable (2)
Dynamic translation keys require input from the InfoCube !
InfoObject value will be read during query execution
Examples:
dynamic time reference (p.eg. 0CALDAY)
      time characteristic
target currency determined by InfoObject (currency attribute)
     characteristic which contains currency in its attribute table
the corresponding InfoObject has to be part of the InfoCube
1.Define the currency attribute in the InfoObject maintenance
The currency attribute has to be a unit InfoObject of type currency
The unit InfoObject must be an attribute of the characteristic
The currency attribute should be filled in the master data table of the corresponding InfoObject (manual maintenance or upload via InfoSource)
2.Enter the InfoObject in the translation key maintenance
Only InfoObjects with a currency attribute can be used in translation keys (p.eg. 0COMP_CODE)
At the time of currency translation the value for the source currency / target currency is then derived for every record from the master data table of the specified InfoObject
All values for a query are translated ad hoc (after having executed the query) using a translation key
Depending on the translation key a fixed target currency will be used for translation or you will be able to select the target currency
The ad hoc currency translation offers only restricted functionality (selection of translation key and target currency) compared to the currency translation in the query definition
Do not forget to create your translation keys before starting your work in the Business Explorer Analyzer
Example:
You load the following record to your InfoCube:
Company Code:                1000
Amount in Source Currency:      500,-
Source Currency:                FRF
Target Currency:               ?
In the Update rules, you are now using a translation key which derives the target currency from the InfoObject 0COMP_CODE. During the Update Process the target currency will then be read for Company Code 1000 from the master date table of 0COMP_CODE.
With the currency translation in the Business Explorer, the source currency can currently only be determined from the data record.
Only translation keys with a fixed exchange rate type can be used in the BEx
Translation keys with a dynamic time reference (from an InfoObject) can only be used in the query definition. It is not possible to fill the InfoObject by a variable !
Translation keys getting their target currency from a currency attribute can only be selected in the query definition
When getting the dynamic reference from an InfoObject (p.eg. 0CALDAY) the currency translation will apply to each record read from the database. That means it will use the date in this record for the currency translation.
When using a variable you will restrict the output of your query to a certain amount of data. For example, you would translate all invoices of March 11 with the translation date March 11
This means, the requirement show me all invoices in my cube in group currency, conversion date: 14.07.2001 could not be solved by a variable input for 0CALDAY
I hope this would help...

Currency conversion based on budget rate

Hi All,
I want to do the currency translation from GBP to EUR,EUR to USD and GBP to USD.there is no table maintained in the BW system.Currency conversion should be based on budget values and they are asked me to do on reporting level.I have gone thru the documents and blogs but not able to follow them.Could you pls share any one knowledge and step by step process.
Thanks

Use RSCUR transaction to create currency translation type.
Here under "Time Ref" tab use "Variable Time Ref" and special infoobject.
You should be able to choose Posting period or posting date here.
Now in query designer maintain the currency conversion based on this currency translation type.
Hope this helps.

Currency Conversion---- Based on Posting period

Hi All,
I am creating a report based on FIAA .
Query selection screen will contain COMPANY CODE , and the POSTING PERIOD
suppose we enter company code as 2100 and posting period from 001.2007 to 012.2007.
I need to translate all the balance sheet items are translate with the closing rate (M) for the current period , i.e. the "to period in the report " here 012.2007.
The To period is dynamic and i need to select the currency conversion rate dynamically based on the To period entered in the selection screen of query.so, Can any one give the clues to achieve this. Your help is appriciated.
Thanks & Regards

Currency Translation Type in queries using currency conversion

I have a question on the Currency Translation Type (EUR_VAR) that is used in all of the queries using currency conversion on the fly. (currency is maintained automatically nor in table.)
User wants to use 2 different exchange rates in a single query. The months in 2010 (Actuals) are to
be converted using Xchangerate-type EURO and the months in 2011 (Planned) to use Xchangerate-type USD.
But store different rates with different starting dates. This is however not possible because the Currency Translation
Type is set-up (1) to work with Query Key date - rather than a characteristic in the data and (2) apparently these
currency translation types only work with time characteristics like 0fiscyear
My idea is therefor to:
1. Create a new variable (similar to EXC_RATE) to prompt for a 2nd Exchange Rate type when query starts
2. Create a new Currency Translation Type (next to EUR_VAR), referencing the new variable or sticking to fixed Xrate type, fixed to EUR
Is this possible to create Idea (2)
Many Thanks in Advance.

The best way would be to create two curr conversion types , one converting to EUR and other to USD .Put them in properties of coressponding KFs in query.For timref in RSCUR , variable time ref can be used individually for two conv types.

Currency conversion with query selection mask and InfoObject 0Curtype

Hi,
question to following scenario:
in the data source is an column with the currency type. This currency type column contains values like
10 = company code currency
20 = account area currency
So for each data set in the table is an assignment of currency types.
In the cube is an InfoObject called 0Curtype (for currency types 10,20,30 ...).
In the BEx Query should a filter or selection be possible before the whole data is displayed.
The user can select in which currency he wants to display the data. When he selects the 10 the whole data is displayed in different currencies which are available because its local currency (Euro, Dollar etc.). By selecting 20 the whole data is displayed in Euro.
Does anybody knows how to achieve that? Is there any function module availabe which is provided by SAP and it is available for use?
Thank you in advance!!!

Hi There:
You have two options available.
One you can define currency conversion variable in transaction RSCUR. Then use this currency conversion variable at query run time using a formula Key figure and go to Conversions tab and select this variable. Then at query run time the query will convert your key figure from source currency type to target currency type. But this can significantly impact your query run time because the query will calculate this at query run time.
The second option is to use a standard SAP function module CONVERT_TO_LOCAL_CURR in the back end and store this key figure in the back end during data load. This way the query will run faster for you. The difference is significant in my case.
Good luck.
Let me know if you need more information.
