RE: Currency objects (DecimalData vs float)

The amount of precision in your database (and Forte code) depends on your
clients requirements, no? If, for example, your client is a Swiss bank, I
know they typically require precision 6 places to the right of the decimal -
and 12 or 13 places to the left of the decimal.

Subject: Currency objects (DecimalData vs float)
Hi Guys,
We are using floats and doubles to represent currency data in my
current project. As expected we are getting a lot of errors due to
the approximation involved in the internal representation of
floating
point numbers. I know that using DecimalData class will fix some of
the
these errors. I am wondering how many places of precision I need in
my
relational database to prevent these errors.
Thanks,
Vikas

RE: Using the Currency Object

Hi
I tried using the currency object to display the currency symbol for the UK and Europe, here is an example of what I did
String currency = Currency.getInstance("EUR").getSymbol();
or for the UK
String currency = Currency.getInstance("GBR").getSymbol();
but I ended up with unicode characters instead of currency symbols like this � or � what am i doing wrong

(I guess you made a little typo, the Great Britain Pound is GBP and not GBR.)
Currency.getSymbol returns the symbol that should be used for that currency in the current locale. So if you are in UK "GBP" comes out as the sterling pound symbol, in countries where they use Euro it comes out as €, but everywhere else the result is the three letter (?) currency code itself. This is because pounds and dollars are used in many countries and they have the same symbol; you wouldn't want users to confuse US dollars with Canadian dollars. So try these:
String pound = Currency.getInstance("GBP").getSymbol(new Locale("en", "GB"));
String euro = Currency.getInstance("EUR").getSymbol(new Locale("fr", "FR"));

How to hide objects in subsequent floating forms

Hello,
I have a subform which has an 'Add' button. When user clicks on the add button, a new subform is added. I, however, don't want to show this 'Add' button in the subsequent forms. I want to show it in the 1st form only. Also, the user can only add max 3 forms. Thus, as the form number reaches 3, I want to disable/hide the 'Add' button.
Is there a way to do that? Could someone show me how?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,
For the first part, the easiest way would be to take the button out of the repeating subform. Maybe place it just above the subform. Then it will not appear in other instances. You could include script in the initialize event, but this would not be the preferred route. Se how you get on with the button out of the subform and if you end up needing the script come back to us.
To disable the button, you will need script in the layout:ready event of the button. This is not the most efficient, because the layout:ready event fires so often (see here http://assure.ly/nB0Bvz). If your form is not too lengthy then you mightn't notice too much of a performance hit.
So, if your repeating subform is called myRepeatingSubform, the following in the layout:ready event of the button should get you close:
if (_myRepeatingSubform.count >= 3) {
this.presence = "invisible";
else {
this.presence = "visible";
Hope that helps,
Niall

Convert Object to Float

Hello,
I'm trying to convert an Object to a Float and can't seem to get it to work properly. I'm using a HashMap to store object key-value pairs. The values inserted into the HashMap were originally of type float. I can extract the value found in the map, but I cannot then convert that to a float to be assigned to another variable. For example:
Object holdValue;
holdValue = someHashMap.get(someKey); // so far so good
float aFloatNumber = holdValue; // can't do this because
// holdValue stores an object
How do I convert "holdValue" from an Object to a float so that it can be assigned to "aFloatNumber"?
Thank you.

Well the keys could not have been of type float because float is a primative and HashMap will only take Objects as it's keys and data. So you have an incorrect notion of what is in your HashMap. If the key was a Float (the wrapper class of float) you can just cast it and you would be fine but there is no way to assign an Object to a float, you could convert threw some method (like fields 1 plus field 2 or something) but you can't just convert.

Report in Object currency

Hi,
Report is generated by using report painter, but report displays the values in controlling area currency.How we can display values in object currency ?
Regards,
Rohit

Hi,
We have alredy referred to existing threds but the client requirement is sligtly different. The object currency should be displayed in report. Presently the report displyed in controlling area currency.
Let me explain in detail, in report we have different co area currency, transaction currency & object currency. Now the report displayes the values in co area currency but actually at selection screen we are giving object currency. Why report displayed in co area currency? We can chage the currency through currency translation but it is applicable for perticular project. Client requirement is report should automatically pick object currency in disply.
Regards,
Rohit

Text wrap around an achored object

I'm continually frustrated by a text wrap issue around an achored object in a story. I have two anchored textframes that are taking up the top half of a text frame, one of them has a full column text wrap applied to it which forces the first title of the regular text to begin beneath it. My issue is that sometimes this title falls too close to the anchored text frames but if I add space to the bottom of the text wrap, the title does not snug to the text wrap but will stay tight until the wrap adjustment invades the cap height and then it will suddenly jump way down what looks like the full line height of the style, creating way too much of a gap. I can't seem to get a clean even space between my anchored textframe and the first line of text. I'm doing hundreds of files with this set up and they are looking different because the anchored text frames are all different sizes and I can't get that space between them and the first title to be uniform. I'm sure I'm missing an option somewhere, but I can't figure out what it is. I want the first line of text to snug up to the edge of the text wrap, and it just won't do it. I've looked through all my style options and can't figure out what I'm missing. "Align to grid" is set to "None," and "Start Paragraph" is set to "Anywhere."
I'm really confused by this. Anyone have any ideas what I'm doing wrong or if I've run up against a limitation in the application?
I'm using CS5 on a Mac 10.5.8

Sorry Grant,
Your "solution" does not work in this instance. The boxes you see in my image are the first things on that page. The anchor paragraphs are set to start in a new column so that they purposely start a new page. The story starts 3 pages before this and you can't have anchored objects more than a spread away from their anchors, so your solution simply does not work. I would have to break my lesson into multiple stories, which is the very thing I'm trying not to do to keep my workflow efficient.
It looks like it is a limitation of ID's anchored object workflow (which has never been ideal, but I'm trying to work with it). Unfortunately, tables are also not a safe solution because long tables used together with span/split column features cause ID to crash (predictably)--as far as I can tell, Adobe doesn't appear to be interested in fixing this bug. I've learned the hardway not to combine them in any workflow unless I want to restart ID multiple times a day.
In case you are wondering, this complicated workflow resulted from a shortcoming in ID anyway. I have to place the text in table cells so that I can use the SIde Heads plugin to pull them automatically into anchored objects. I have to anchor them into floating objects to get the rounded corners on background squares that is BEHIND the text. I could do it as tables in the flow of text if I could create anchored backgrounds with rounded corners that floated behind the tables, but unfortunately, ID will not let you change the stacking order of anchored objects--they always float in front and there is no option to push them behind--and tables are uniformly square and boring. I tried several times to create an easily automatable workflow for this project, and complicated as it is, this is the only one that actually works.
I will have to manually adjust the paragraph spacing and leading. That seems to be only adjustment that gives me the fine control that I want. I just wish it were consistent from document to document so I could set it in the style and not have to eyeball everything.

Converting from String to float and vice versa

I'm interested in people's thoughts on where common logic to convert between various field types should be stored in an application to minimise code duplication and maintenance.
I have an application which consists of an object and a jPanel which displays and maintains this object. The object contains a number of private float fields which are accessed by getters and setters. The jPanel contains one jTextField for each of the fields within the object.
Currently I have numerous lines of code in the jPanel to convert between the values needed by the getters and setters in the object (i.e. float) and the String value used by the jTextFields. This code handles cases where the String value may be blank or null.
I've thought that one alternative to having all this conversion/validation code in the jPanel is to create a second set of getters and setters for each field which accept and return String values.
What do people think about this? Is it advisable for only have one getter and setter for a variable? Should I put the conversion/validation logic for each field into a seperate common routine?
Thanks,
James.

Hi James,
You should go with whatever works best for you. By creating multiple getters and setter you save yourself from repeating the same code throughout your program.

Why is "move object to section Master" is dimmed?

I import a tiff image to a page layout document.
I select it and go to Format->Advanced ->move object to section Master
the submenu selection is dimmed.
Can anyone help?

DennisG wrote:
I can think of two reasons why it would be dimmed out: 1) you didn't select the object; and 2) you're working in a page layout document, where each page is its own section. Since the purpose of a section master is to repeat an image on every page of a section, having one-page sections makes section masters unnecessary and, therefore, unavailable as an option.
I apologize but it seems that you are wrong
The User's Guide states:
+Using Master Objects (Repeated Background Images)+
+You may want to add watermarks, logos, or other background images that appear in+
+the same spot on every page of your word processing _*and page layout*_ documents.+
+These repeated graphics are called master objects.+
And I checked that I may perfectly do the trick in a Page Layout document : I tested with the "Tokyo Letter"
From my point of view the OP has just inserted an inline object, not a floating one !

Make the currency field in SOCO editable

Hi All:
PDP Scenario
I have a requirement to make the currency field in SOCO. I did try to control it in SPRO > SAP SRM > Cross-App > Extensions and Field Control > Configure Control for Fields on Item Level > Metadata for Fields on Item Levels, but did not work.
Configuration Entries:
Field Name: Currency
Object Type: BUS2121
Transaction Type: " "
Field Visible: Checked
Field Enable: Checked
Field Required: Unchecked
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks: Mike

Hi Mike,
You were almost at the right spot:
SPRO > SAP SRM > Cross-App > Extensions and Field Control > Configure Field Control > Configure Control for Fields of Substructures > Metadata for Fields of Substructures and Table-Like Enhancements
Entries:
Set type: SI
Field name: Currency
Obj Type: AO_SOCO
Set level: ITEM
Field Visible: Checked
Field Enable: Checked
Field Required: Unchecked
Perhaps you also need to check the "post-editable" field...
Hope that works!
Best regards,
Jos

Currency Conversion in Update Rule greyed out

Hi All,
I searched this forum for what I thought something would have been reported on, but in the update rule for a key figure there is the option to input currency translation.
The problem is it's greyed out and I cannot input the translation. The screen looks just like the conversion entry you put in the query designer for the key figure.
Why is this field greyed out?
Thanks, Mark.

Hi again,
currency of the source and the target-keyfigure should differ.
create a new KYF as copy of 0AMOUNT with a differing Currency object or with fixed Currenca and call it AMOUNT in <CURRENCY>.
Will work
Cheers
Sven

Currency is not showing in the result out of BW report.

Hi All,
I created a report, In the report out having key figure called "Amount", In the result its displaying as Amount =100, But as per the user requirement I need the amount value as Amount=100 EUR or MYR or GBP or USD like this.
The keyfigures having property as fixed currencty as EUR, I made the mapping to 0loc_cuur, 0doc_curr in BW , In the cube output I can see the values populating in the currency columsn.
In the query also doesn mention DIM id and its direct key fgures.
Could you please give me some suggestins to get the currency with amount 100EUR.
Is there any possiblity to write the abap code and concatenate the values in the report 100EUR or 100GBP like this.

Hi Laks,
Check this KF property in RSD1.
If it has fixed currency 'EUR', then all the values will be reported only in EUR. your mapping of 0LOC_CURCY will not work.
Now, in order to populate different currencies coming from the transaction data, you need to assign a reference currency object to this key figure. ( for ex 0LOC_CURRECY ).
It will not be possible for you to change the ref currency, unless you delete the data in all the infoproviders which are having this key figure.
If you can delete the data, then you can change the ref currency after data deletion and map this reference currncy to the source currency.
Let me know, if there are any other amount key figures in the same target and what are their reference currencies.
Thanks,
Krishnan

Controlling area currency diff from comp code currency

Hi Gurus,
In all the reports for for viewing the budget vs actual, i am getting in controlling area currency(EUR) I want to view that in company code currency( INR) by default without having to change the currency.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
You have two options:
Enter either a target currency or one of the following currencies:
Controlling area currency
Object currency
Transaction currency
If you enter a target currency, enter the following data for currency translation:
Base currency
Date of translation
Exchange rate type
The SAP system uses these entries to convert from the selected base currency to target currency values
Hope its useful.
Reward points if useful.
Thanks..

Planning activity price in various currency

Hi,
I have controlling area with currency EUR and two company code linked to it:
Company code A with currency EUR
Company code B with currency MXN
Is there any way to plan activity price in USD?
Thanks in advance
Regards

Hi ,
THere are 3 currencies which are available in CO. One is the CO Area currency ( the currency maintained in the CO Area ) , Second is the Object currency ( the currency maintained in the Object , if it is a Cost Center , then the Object currency will be the Company code currency to which the CC belongs to ) and Third is the Transaction currency ( the currency in which a transaction is posted , be it Plan transaction or Actual transactions ) .
You can enter cost element planning using any of those currencies ( by creating user defined layouts if std layouts do not suffice requirements ).
Activity output has to be planned in terms of quantities in Cost Centers.
Activity price is to be computed automatically in the system ( recommended ) . Activity prices are always maintained in only two currencies , Object currency and Co Area currency. All activity transactions will happen using the Object currency so that the absorption on Cost Centers is always proper.
We cannot have activity prices maintained in transaction currencies. Is there a real justification and a business reason to have the price to be maintained in USD ? Please let me know.
Regards,
Venkat.
