Run report in two currencies

Hi
I want to run a report in Euro and our group currency is usd. I am running a standard report and report is displayed in USD. How to change the currency as Euro or other currency in standard report ?
Thanks
Satya

Hi Satya,
On the Selection Screen and also in the report page you can see a Icon with '$￥' with a '100' beneath it.
Click that Icon and you can choose what currency you want the report to be,you can also specify the Exhange rate type.

Reportin in two currencies

Hello all,
is there a possibility of reporting in two currencies, say for eg: present local currency is INR and I also want to report in EUR.
if i define an additional currency in transaction code OB22, what will happen to the previous transactions? will they get updated automatically or some report has to be run.
Or is there some other possibility through which this could be achieved?
thanks in advance.

Hai Arun,
Once u check it once FB03, FS10N FD10N & FK10n in this t.code system showing currency option choose ur currency

Debtors aging in two currencies.

Hi
In debtors aging reports S_ALR_87012175 & S_ALR_87012168, We can currently get the report in one currency Local currency . Theres a request to change this to get the report in two currencies that is Local currency as well as USD (us$ values). Could you please guide me how to do the require changers to the report, to get the aging report in two currencies.
Thanx.

You can have two currencies in your release strategy.
You need to maintain both the currency characteristics in your class. For e.g. you have Indian Rupee and Dollars. Ruppee being for a company in India and Dollars for the one in US.
1. You will need to add both Dollars and Ruppee as characteristics in your class.
2. When you need the release startegy to be applicable for USD only, put the value in the Rupee Characteristic as >0 (this will not pick up Ruppee as the currency).
3. For release startegy with Ruppee put the value for USD characteristic as >0.
This will surely work.

Profit center report with old currency exchange rate

Dear All,
I have a requirement in PCA reporting. We have maintained exchange rate as 1.86 Egyptian pound to 1 Saudi Rriyal from 01.01.2001 to 31.03.2014. Also, from 01.04.2014 onwards the exchange rate is 1.90 EGP to 1 SAR. When we run PCC report on 05.04.2014 it is picking that day rate as 1.90 and showing the same in PCA report.
But now, my client wants the exchange rate to be calculated with old price 1.86 in the report. Is there any way to pick old exchange rate in PCA reporting?
BR, Srinivas Salpala

Hi Srinu
RPC0 applies to CC reports and not PCA reports
I am surprised by your statement that Summary reports derive values based on Current Fx rate
GLPCA and GLPCT are the tables that are used in line item and Summary reports.. check the value in GLPCT and do they match with GLPCA or not
I am still not convinced about your issue.. Why do you need currency conversion in report?
Assume your comp code curr is USD and Cont Area curr is EUR.. You will be able to see all reports in both currencies without any conversion required during report execution. This is because all the transactions are recorded in these two currencies
Ensure that the All Currencies indicator is turned ON for your contr area

Matt,
A namesake of yours is my client for this issue.
Coming to the problem, the customer says there is proxy configured between HTTP server and WebSphere. This proxy server times out for long running reports. If the HTTPServer is bypassed, things work fine.
A colleague of mine opened a case with BOBJ. I can get you the case# if you need it. We got this reply:
From: Takano, Hitomi
Sent: Tuesday, November 04, 2008 10:26 AM
Hi Matt,
I was away for the last two days, so I couldn't reply to you sooner.
Extending the timeout setting from Webi and Infoview in BOXI R2 will not
make the long running reports work as your proxy setting at the lower
layer than BOXI just allows 5 minutes and after that the connection will
be cancelled by the proxy. I'm not sure why this setting was effective
for https only or timeout out after 2 min. This is out of scope of BOXI
R2 and your network admin would be the best person to handle. You were
getting 502 error in Java Report Panel. I googled with "502 error and
ProxyTimeout", and I got the some articles returned which say when
backend doesn't answer on requests(because it timed out), it returns to
a client an error 502.
I'll close this thread as the n/w admin at the client are working things out.
Thanks for your support.

Hello,
_Pls follow these guide lines for ensuring proper output in Microsoft Excel:
1.First compare the fields properties and the frames properties between the reports created with wizard and the reports created manually.
2. Do not leave any space between two adjacent objects.
Explanation: Because any space, including a few pixels, between two adjacent objects will result in an empty cell or column in Excel output
3.Make sure that the widths of all objects are vertically consistent.
Explanation: If the objects are not exactly aligned vertically, that is, have inconsistent widths, it is likely to result in insertion of unwanted cells/columns in Excel.
4. Pls. Make sure that the vertical elasticity of the frames and repeating frames is not fixed unless you are sure you have allocated enough space to accommodate all the records.
Explanation: If you set the Vertical Elasticity property of a frame to Fixed, the output in Excel will show only as many records as could appear on the first page of the paper output. Since Excel does not have a page concept, it is not able to overflow the remaining rows to the next page.
5. For reliable formatting of spreadsheet output, enclose the whole layout area in a frame.
Explanation: This action prevents the possibility of parallel objects displaying in different vertical positions, one following the other.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Alex

SSRS expression for difference between two currency values

Hi All;
I need to get the difference between two currency values
Below is my report
I need to get differene between Actual Income and Profile Income and this value should be in "£" In this example it should be £0.00
Any help much appreciated
Thanks
Pradnya07

=sum(Fields!ProfileIncome.Value - Fields!ActualIncome.Value)
This could have either field first, but depends on which field is expected to be larger. You would then format the textbox to show in pounds.

Report with Two Queries -- Really need your Help Guys

I might be posting duplicate thread but i couldnt found the Q&A that i am looking for.
I am trying to create a report where i have to use two query. Also, with this query i am passing parameter where i ask user to enter Report Month so they can run report by what ever month they want to see data.
Now my Q_2 is duplicate or Q_1 because in my final report layout i have to display fields where i have to compare current_month_data to Previous_month_data. so basically i want user to in put current month date and previous month date and layout look like.
Company_Name Currentmonth_sale previousMonth_Sales ....
Honda $1423.42 $324.42
Toyota $3433 $4255.45
so on....
Now so far i create report manualy and drop two query in to the report but when i trying to create Report Wizard and group by each Company.. it is not giving me the out put that i want. Instead of giving me above out put its give me my Q_! result with each company group and then under that result i have Q_2 result.
so HOW CAN I DISPLAY FIELDS FROM MY Q_2 WITH MY REST OF THE FIELD ON Q_1?????????????????????????
Thank You guys.

Actually, I tried to use Data Link but i am not able to success.
Let me know if I am doing anything wrong . i click on left hand side tool panel where its says DATA LINK. then i click on Q_1 field and then drag the mouse over to Q_2 query with same field name. but its give me an error that Can not link it because of Group data and i have option to choose Yes, NO or Cancel.
Let me know what are the step i need to take in order to link this two queries.
Thank You

End of File reached error message when running report

I am running this report in two different places. On my own machine it seems to run fine however when I run it for a client on their server I get a message saying end of file reached and the report won't come up. Any suggestions?

Hi Jeff,
In what context are you running the report? Are you talking about refreshing the data?
Is this in crystalreports.com or the CR designer or some custom built application?
This forum is specifically for the crystalreports.com, Information OnDemand, and Applications OnDemand web applications so this might be the wrong place for your question. You might want to try the Crystal Reports Design or one of the Crystal Reports SDK forums instead.
Cheers,
Steve

Development Request on Financials Report in VND Currency - Money Overflow

Dear all,
In Vietnam, customer uses VND currency and encountered the issues when generating financial report with big amount. Generating T/B or G/L with long period or large amount would come with the error: "Error while running report due to money overflow; one or more amounts generated are inaccurate".
There was a note provided by SAP note was since 2009, and there is no fix yet until now u2013 2012 (3years) (SAP Note: [1247215 |https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap%28bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==%29/bc/bsp/sno/ui_entry/entry.htm?param=69765F6D6F64653D3030312669765F7361706E6F7465735F6E756D6265723D3030303132343732313526]).
In case of these issues, customer cannot get reports from SAP and must switch to MS Reporting Service web report provided by us.
Actually customer had some transaction amounts around VND 6,000,000,000,000 and accumulated amount in report was greater than VND 9,223,372,036,854 mentioned on the Note 1247215. And some customers in financial services or petro fields we should consulate to use thousand VND instead to reduce digits when posting.
Could SAP increase one or more digits on SAP B1 to adapt to Vietnam?
Thanks,
Doan

Dear Doan,
I am afraid using 1,000 VND as the unit should be your solution. I doubt 1 - x00 VND can buy any goods.
B1 is global system used by hundreds of countries. Unless you can represent majority need. no one may sacrifice the other to meet one localization need.
Thanks,

Run Report Object and Lexical Parameters

Hi all,
I am trying to pass a value for a lexical parameter in a report. The report query is as follows:
SELECT EMP.EMPNO, EMP.ENAME,
EMP.JOB, EMP.MGR, EMP.HIREDATE, EMP.SAL, EMP.COMM, EMP.DEPTNO
FROM EMP
&Where_St
The Where_St is a lexical parameter which will hold the Where Statement the end user need it to be executed.
I build a form on the EMP table in order to let the user get benefit from the Enter Query/Execute Query functionality in forms. Like this, he/she can query the data he likes with the condtions he wish to have.
I created a button to call the report I did before from the form
The Button has the following code in the trigger
WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED
declare
rep_id report_object;
rep_status varchar2(30);
Where_Pos number(3);
Where_Statement varchar2(200);
begin
Where_Pos := InStr(:System.Last_Query, 'WHERE');
if Where_Pos > 0 then
Where_Statement := SubStr(:System.Last_Query,
Where_Pos);
end if;
rep_id := Find_Report_Object('emp_rep');
Set_Report_Object_Property(rep_id, REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE, RUNTIME);
Set_Report_Object_Property(rep_id, REPORT_COMM_MODE, ASYNCHRONOUS);
Set_Report_Object_Property(rep_id, REPORT_DESTYPE, PREVIEW);
Set_Report_Object_Property(rep_id, REPORT_OTHER, 'MAXIMIZE=YES Where_St=' | | Where_Statement);
rep_status := Run_Report_Object(rep_id);
end;
Whenever I run the report it did not show up at all. I doubt the value I am passing, so I deleted the line that pass the value for the Lexical parameter to the report. The report worked just fine.
Moreover, I passed this value using Run_Product to the reports and the report is working fine with the forms. But I would like to use Run_Report_Object to pass this value to the reports.
Any ideas??
Thanks

Report Painter and currency issue

Hi All:
We have several report painter based on table FAGLFLEXT and have a problem maintaing the company code currency in report results.
Here is the scenario:
User 1 runs report for a company code A in country A with Currency A
User 1 does a currency conversion to Currency B. Report is now shown in Company code A, for Country A with Currency B
User 1 exits report and is prompted to if they want to save their data.
User 1 selects that they do want to save data (this is a data save..not a report layout or defintion save).
User 2 now runs same report for Company code C in country C with currency C
Results of report are now in Currency B as this was what was saved by User 1
I have found that it requires both the currency conversion and the Save Data function to make this happen. If only one of these steps is done, User 2 gets results in Currency C.
I believe I can fix the problem by removing the authorization to "Save Data"...but would like to find a better solution..Any ideas would be most appreciated

How to run reports thru menu in 10g

Hi,
I'm a junior oracle programmer and have already migrated forms 6i to 10g. Now I have to migrate the reports to 10g. I have read many documentations about running report from forms or menu, but the more I read, the more confused I get. Please note that I am very new to all this oracle stuff. So please bear in mind that I might not understand everything too well. Thats the reason I would like help from you experts out here.
We have a menu (mmb) which has two horizontal sub menus (eg. Forms & Reports). Now Forms and Reports again in turn hv couple of vertical sub menus. Each vertical submenu under Forms calls a form (for eg. submenu_f1 calls forms1, submenu_f2 calls forms2 and so on). Same thing for Reports (eg. submenu_r1 calls report1, submenu_r2 calls report2, etc). Now this is what we want for the Reports. Each of our report has parameters like Begin Date, End Date, Agency_Type, Year, etc. We want our user to have one more choice in the parameters "FORMAT" (pdf, excel, html, etc) . Now this is what I dont know how to do. I cannot use run_report_object here cause I cannot create a report object in menu (like how we can do it in forms). I tried web.show_document but the problem in this is that everything is hard-coded, so I cannot give a choice in the desformat.
I would appreciate if someone can tell me how to run my report thru menu and give the user the option for the format. The users mostly want the output in excel (but might want pdf, etc too).
Plus we want to schedule certain reports to run at certain times everyday or every month, how can I do that?????
Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for taking your time to reply my query.

Hi,
cannot use run_report_object here cause I cannot create a report object in menu (like how we can do it in forms).
Create a generic named Report node in the forms that you reference from the RunReport object request. This way you can run Reports from a menu

Run reports direct to printer

Hello all:
In developer 6i i created a form with two buttons , one to run reports on the screen (P_RunReport('report_name','SCREEN'); )the other is to run reports directly to the printer (P_RunReport('report_name','printer');),
Now when i convert this form in developer 10g both buttons run reports on the screen,So how can i direct reports to printer within the same form?.
Thanks alot.

I believe you'll be using Set_report_object somewhere in your code.
Shall you check exactly which value is going into that?
If you are sure that the value is going in is "SCREEN' or 'PRINTER', could you debug into the reports trace file?
That might help you.
Warm Regards,
Raja.
