Reporting level Currency translation and group level Currency translation

Hi All,
Could any body explain me reporting level Currency translation and group level Currency translation.Please expalin me step by step scenario.
Thanks in advance.
Setty.

Hi Jian,
In my recent implementation completed, business only had one currency to deal with i.e. USD. Data was coming from ECC and we loaded all the data in LC instead of USD using transformation *NEWCOL(LC). Next, you can maintain a rate of 1 in the rate model and run the currency conversion.
This will generate the same data values against USD. So, your statement " if we load LC and than convert it into USD, the data vulu will de double." is incorrect. In the system, you will have same set of values against LC as well as USD.
I suggest that you configure Currency Conversion for future reqmts if any.
Regarding BCF, balances from previous year (Balance Sheet Accounts) will need to be carried forward as opening balances to next year else your BS won't give true picture.

MB5L Report Discrepacy for Material and Stock Account Currency

I have found in the MB Report Discrepancy for Material and Stock Account Currency. Why is this happening? Why is there a variance between total price in materials and stock account? Anyone please help me. I'm abaper but now been pushed to do logistic. I need help for this issue.

Hi,
Here's some information from help. Variances can occur for the following reasons:
You have entered postings to the stock account manually.
The stock account includes not only stock postings, but also other postings. In this case, you should check the account determination in the Customizing for Valuation and Account Assignment. Make sure that the stock accounts are used solely for the transaction key BSX (stock postings).
Check Account Determination - OMWB
The account assignment for the stock accounts (transaction key BSX) was changed during productive operation; the respective stocks, however, were not deducted from the old account (movement type 562) and posted to the new one (movement type 561).
Cheers !

Currency Dim and Groups Dim for LegalConsolidation and IcMatching App

Hi experts,
I have had a look on posts about using Currency and Groups Dim, and using only Groups,
I have developed apps with only Group Dim. Do you recommend to use Curr and Groups in the future.?
And which dims should I include in ICmatching App with curr and groups dim?
Regards

Hi,
While what the guys before have said is correct, I have a different opinion on the matter from my experience (and from the SAP starter kits since 7.5).
I use a separate Group and Currency dimension because you may want to look at an entity's numbers in GC but without running Consolidation. For example, an entity that is only partially owned will only have GC values for its owned %, but the accountant for this entity may need to answer questions on the GC values based on 100%. With separate dimensions you can see values in GC before and after Consolidation.
For an IC Matching application, I would have both Group and Currency dimensions. I would definitely use Group dimension because you may want to see eliminated IC balances in different groups. You should also have the Currency dimension as although only GC Interco balances are essential for matching, the LC values for each position is important as a frame of reference for the local accountant.
Hope this helps,
Tom.

Row level access at the Group level assignments

I know the concept ROW LEVEL security or "Access Restrictions" but I haven't really implemented it before.
1. Create a Row level security from the BO -UNIVERSE designer from the TOOLS> MANAGE SECURITY>MANAGER ACCESS RESTRICTIONS.
RESTRICTION-EMPLOYEE ( If user is available in the table then only display the results)
In the where clause Employees.Employee_Name = @Variable('BOUSER') here the BO user always at the user level ID.
2. Then assign the above restriction to the USER or GROUP.
The question what I have.. if I assign the Restriction at the GROUP level, will this condition be applied for all users under that group. Do I need to do anything else.
Please confirm.

THose are two different things you are talking about here:
1) @Variable('BOUSER') is a placeholder that is replaced during the runtime with the ID of the user who is running the report accessing your universe. Adding this expresson somewhere in your universe (does not have to be necessary the where clause of an access restriction) will mean that the generated SQL statement will contain the user ID at the related place.
2) Access restrictions: You can setup access restriction for users or even groups. If you set those for groups then the restriction will be applied to ALL users being members of this group, when they run a report that uses your universe. If a specific user belongs to 2 different groups for which universe restrictions are applied, then the conflict will be solved according to the settings in your universe. Access restrictions can be used to change the where clause of the generated statements but also for using different credentilas to connect to the database (based on the group) and/or a different set of parameters eg. the maximum bnumber of rows fetched by the universe can vary among different groups.
Hope this helps.

Report Designer missing 'group level' area - GUI problem?

Hi all -
I have a few questions here that I think are related, so I'm posting in one thread.
1) As far as what I've been reading on, we can upgrade to BI 7.0 even with a front-end SapGUI 640 (patch 19). True or False?
2) One can only use Report Designer with SapGUI 710. True or False?
And here's a long one...
3) When you open Report Designer should we see "Group Level" on the right-hand side (if it's checked to show)? Mine (having sapgui 710 at patch 1) was showing just the ruler, but not the "Group Level" areas... is this a gui issue? What's the fix?
[my history of GUI install:
Before upgrade: Sap GUI 640 patch 8
After upgrade: Installed NW4s BEx components only
(then getting dumps in the r3 back-end) so installed SAP GUI 710 from 50083078_4 cd.
Report Designer missing the group level areas... I thought, might as well install patch 01. But that did not help.]
Any input would be great!
Thanks guys (and girls!)!
Cheers...

I had a couple issues to 710 with the report designer. i didnt had anything similar to ur issue, but all my default and specifics of format catalog were blacked out and not allowing me to change that. I downgraded to 640 and everything works fine now. (I tried installing all possible latest and greatest on the GUI but nothing worked and it costed me a whole day to acknowledge the fact)

Translation, valuation and conversion of currencies

Hi Experts,
Please let me know what is the diffrence between valuation, translation and conversion of currencies and how can it be done?
regards
kumar

Dear Kumar,
In IMG under
SAP Netweaver -> General Settings -> Currencies
-> Check Exchange Rate Types
Exchange rates for different purposes for the same date are defined in the system as exchange rate types.
If you need to carry out currency translations between a number of different currencies, you can simplify exchange rate maintenance by entering a base currency for the exchange rate type. Instead of entering translation rates between every single currency, you then only need specify the translation rate between each currency and the base currency. All currency translations then take place in two steps - into the base currency and from the base currency into the target currency.
The base currency is DEM. You want to translate FRF to CHF. To do this, the following entries must be made in the table for maintaining currency translation rates:
o Ratio for FRF -> DEM
o Ratio for CHF -> DEM
Translation from FRF to CHF is then carried out automatically. The translation is done as though this exchange rate (FRF -> CHF) was actually entered in the conversion table.
In this example, the base currency (DEM) is the To-currency and FRF or CHF the From-currency.
For exchange rate relations within the EU, it is a legal requirement that the base currency (EUR) is the From-currency. You set the indicator for this in the BCurr=from field.
SAP Netweaver -> General Settings -> Currencies
-> Enter Exchange RatesExchange rates are required to:
Translate foreign currency amounts when posting or clearing or to check an exchange rate entered manually
Determine the gain and loss from exchange rate differences
Evaluate open items in foreign currency and the foreign currency balance sheet accounts
The exchange rates are defined by period ("valid from").
The function has been improved. Choose the activity Define Exchange Rate Input Worklist or Assign Exchange Rate to Worklist.
The system uses the type M exchange rates for foreign currency translation when posting and clearing documents in the activity Enter Exchange Rate. An entry must exist in the system for this exchange rate type. The exchange rates apply to all company codes.
The exchange rate relations for currency conversion are only displayed here. Read the chapter Define Translation Ratios for information about exchange rate relations maintenance.
You define:
the rate types under which you want to store your exchange rates in the step
"Check Exchange Rate Type"
the required currency keys in the step "Check Currency Codes"
the conversion factors for
-   the currency pair
-   the exchange rate type
-   the date
in the step "Define the Conversion Factors for Currency Conversion"
Currency Valuation: - To create your financial statements, you have to perform a foreign currency valuation. This valuation covers the following accounts and items:
·        Foreign currency balance sheet accounts, that is, the G/L accounts that you run in foreign currency.
The balances of the G/L accounts that are not managed on an open item basis are valuated in foreign currency.
·        Open items that were posted in foreign currency.
Open items that are open on the key date are valuated in foreign currency.
You have the following options for the foreign currency valuation:
·        You can perform the valuation in local currency, (company code currency), or a parallel currency (for example, group currency).
·        You can also use different valuation methods (for example, lowest value principle).
·        If you want to translate additional currencies from the local currency, foreign currency valuation automatically performs a currency translation.

Unable to clear GL due to Val difference between Local and group currency.

hi,
We have an open item managed Revaluation G/L account in our company code which has a local currency USD.There are some documents posted to this account in both USD and CAD. But when we analyze the docs posted in CAD we found a valuation difference in the local currency(USD) and the Group currency(again USD). I am not sure of the reason for this. But due to this difference we are unable to clear this account. Please let me know if anyone can think of how to clear this particular GL account.
Rgds,
Raj/
Edited by: raj3875 on Oct 8, 2009 11:37 PM

We have an issue even with document currency in USD. there is a valuation difference between Local currency (USD) and Group currency (USD).
For example:
Doc currency = 0 USD
Local Currrency = 171,000 USD
Group currency = 0 USD
Because of this I am not able to clear the account. Not sure why there is a difference inspite of the same currency. I try to clear it in F-04 but I get the below error:
Posting is only possible with a zero balance; correct document

Repeating group level headings.

Using the table wizard, I have created a "group above" table with two levels like this:
Group Level 1
Group Level 2
table_element_1 table_element_2 table_element_n
On the first page, both group level 1 and group level 2 print. As I get subsequent group level 2 breaks, the report won't repeat level 1 so I only get Group level 2 in my heading. The output is coming out like this:
Group Level 1
Group Level 2
table_element_1 table_element_2 table_element_n
Group Level 2a
table_element_1 table_element_2 table_element_n
Group Level 2b
table_element_1 table_element_2 table_element_n
I always want to repeat group level 1 in my table heading. Is there a an xml or template command that I can use to say "always print" ?
I'd like to see it like this:
Group Level 1
Group Level 2
table_element_1 table_element_2 table_element_n
Group Level 1
Group Level 2a
table_element_1 table_element_2 table_element_n
Group Level 1
Group Level 2b
table_element_1 table_element_2 table_element_n

Probably you are using tables to format it as each group.
so in-order to display the group level element 1 ,
You got to display that element before the second group table .
its like
<for-each:level1>
<GRP-LEVEL1-ELEMENT>
<for-each:level2>
<GRP-LEVEL2-ELEMENT>
..................something else
<end-for-each>
<end-for-each>
you can select the table and table properties, repeat as header row in top of every page
pass me your template and xml to fusionDOTobjectATgmailDOTcom.
i wll have a look at where you went wrong ;)

Group Level Data Level Security not working

I'm trying to test the data level security at the group level.
Here's what I did
1. Went to the security -> Groups -> Permissions -> Filters
2. In Name added the Fact table on which I want to filter.
3. Selected "Enable"
4. In Filter Column I added a filter on a column in the dimension. (I didn't use any session variables in the filter)
When I create an answers query with the column from the dimension (Which I used in filter) and fact from the fact table where I defined the filter, the filter is not applied..
Am I missing something in the creation of filters?
Thanks in Advance.
Rama.

Hi,
If the user is member of both user defined and Administrator group no filter will be applied to them because Administrator group will take precedence and no filter can be applied to Administrator.Even if you ooen Administrator group, you will see that permission tab is disabled for Administrator group.
Hope this helps.

Company code and operating concern currency in COPA

Dear experts,
I have one controlling area and one operating concern for indian and foreign entitiy with INR as currency for controlling area and one operating concern.
but outside india i have sgd as company code currency.
So i ticked company code currency in operating concern.so while posting revenue in billing .system store in company code as well as operating concern currency.
But all my expenses for outside india entity will store(cost center) in company code currency 'SGD' and controlling area currency 'INR'.
while doing copa assesssment cycle- whether system will store data in copa table in SGD and INR or only INR as operating concern currency.
i need report on operating concern currency as well as company code currency.
regards
Raman Rana

Hi,
If you have ticked 'company code ccy' in KEA0 then all COPA postings (including COPA assessments) will happen in both currencies i.e. company code ccy and operating concern ccy.

Dunning Old dinning level and dunning level

Hi experts,
I have one issue in dunning. the issue is where the dunning history for particular customer shows as old dunning level as 3 and dunning level as 2.
i have checked the customer master there is change in the dunning procdure. But the document and master data shows the correct dunning level with the new procdure.
so i didnt understand what is the OLD dunning level and dunning level for the same cusomer. the issue is only with one customer.
I have also checked with old procdure with same customer in table MHNK. there are some notices done. but how come the current invoice shows the old dunning level for the same invoice.
can any once explain me how to proceed.
Regards
Ashok

Hi
Thnks for the reply so we need to apply this note for making the old dunning level and dunning level makes equal after you run the program.
Also one more doubt, since i have observed that the dunning after the parameters entered. looks like this
Parameters were maintained
Dunning selection executed, job deleted
Dunning notice printed, job deleted.
the above doesnt means that they will update the old dunning level right.
Regards
Ashok

RMAN Restore Level 0, Level 1 incrementals and ARCHIVELOGs

I can't seem to figure this one out and I have read through documentation and the web.
On linux 64bit in 11.2.0.3, I'm doing Weekly Level 0 Backups and Nightly Level 1 Incrementals. During the day I also do ARCHIVELOG backups.
I know I need to restore LEVEL 0 database files (which I can do) and then restore subsequent LEVEL 1 Incrementals (which I can not), then apply ARCHIVELOGs (which I can do).
My problem is HOW do I apply the LEVEL 1 Incremental Backups on top of the LEVEL 0 restored database files?
thanks in advance!

To apply ArchiveLogs that were generated after the Incremental Backup ......
If the first RECOVER applies only the Incremental Backup, you need to CATALOG the subsequent Archivelgs.
Don't OPEN the database after the RECOVER.
CATALOG START WITH 'path_to_archivelogs'
Use a RUN block with SET UNTIL SEQUENCE <yourlastArchSeq+1) followed by RECOVER DATABASE
CATALOG START WITH 'path_to_archivelogs';
run
set until sequence 101 # -- if your last archivelog is 100
recover database;

T&E, and Approval Level.

Hi ,
How in Standard SAP, for T&E and the Workflow for Travel Expense approval, you could have different autorization amount by person or by possition ?
If example , if the Expense is > 1000, go to the direct boss . If > 1000, go to the boss of the direct boss .
I thing the logic can be done in WorkFlow, but were can the limit be stored ? HR ?
Thank you.

Hi,
If your problem is not yet solved then you may try this.
Case 1:
You may use infotype COST 1036 with 2 Different Subtypes
Level One and Another subtype as Level Two and a cost Item as Limit Where you can store the Value.
OR
Case 2:Create only one subtype as "Limit" and you may create 2 Cost Item as Level One and Level Two and can store the Limits.
In both the case you need to create the Cost Item.
I personally feel the 2nd one is the better option.
Please close the thread and reward points if Query Solved.

PSV3 Business Information Report - comparing at Group level and Type level

Good afternoon folks
I am getting some instances where the summation of the hours for the "Business Event Information" report for a specific business event, when I run it at Event Group level is incorrect; however when run at Event Type level it is correct.
Eg: business event 50135548 has a schedule of 2 hours.
When I run the Business Event Information report at event type level it shows 2 hours for this specific event; however when I run it at Event Group levle it shows 120 hours for this specific event.
Can anybody suggest as to why this is happening.
Many thanks
Dawn

You could do this like this, I think:
If Sum ({@total}, {@monthName}) = 0 Then
0
Else
Sum ({@Unscheduled}, {@monthName}) / Sum ({@total}, {@monthName}) * 100;
