Source of currency conversion information

Hi I hope this will be a simple question for someone to answer:
if I am sourcing my data from EBS what would be the source of the exchange rate information generated during the ETL process if I set one of the following:
$$GLOBAL1_CURR_CODE
$$GLOBAL2_CURR_CODE
$$GLOBAL3_CURR_CODE

Hi,
Yes I have looked through the Oracle documentation and understand how to select the parameters to set the currency codes and rates, my question is if I set the $$GLOBAL1_RATE_TYPE to 'Corporate' where does the ETL actually pick up the figure for the exchange rate from if I am using EBS as a source.

Bex to Business Objects - Currency Conversion error in Webi

Hello,
I am attempting to transfer a Bex 7 key figure currency conversion to a Business Objects filter in a Universe for display in a Webi report. The version of Business Objects XI 3.1 SP2. The Bex Conversion Type is based off Calendar Month, and the Target Currency variable is a selection prompt. The filter is passed to the universe and prompts when the report is ran in Webi, but an error occurs if the currency is populated. For instance, if I populate the filter in Webi with 'USD', the following error occurs: The MDS query SELECT "....." failed to execute with the error Value 'USD' FOR variable "Currency" is invalid (WIS 10901).
I'm not sure if the currency conversion information is being properly transferred and translated to Business Objects. Does anyone have any insight on this issue?
Thank you,
Brock

I was able to modify the dimension for the filter to retrieve the correct object (Ex. USD), but there are multiple incorrect selections for USD and other currency types. For instance, when I type in USD i get 5 different options, and the one with the description 'American Dollar' is the correct one. Why is Webi displaying all these different options? When I display the options for currency in Bex only one 'USD' is shown in the list. Here is my filter condition for currency type in the Universe:
<OPTIONAL><FILTER KEY="[SELCUR]"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal"><CONSTANT TECH_NAME="@Prompt('Select Currency','A','Organization\Cur Key',mono,primary_key)"/></CONDITION></FILTER></OPTIONAL>
Cur Key is my customized hidden dimension
Thank you

Currency Conversion based on condition in BW

Hello,
I have gone through the cople weblogs/links/doc whatever information I found on currency conversion. However I am not able to figure out what could be done in below scenario. Please guide.
Scenario -->
I have STATUS and POSTING_DATE in my Cube. Key Figure in this cube is AMOUNT. Transactions are created in source system in local currency. When data is extracted to BW, I get AMOUNT in local currency and with right clicking on this column in Bex, I can convert it in Fix Target currency or I can permanently create one new column in my report which will always shows fixed target currency for AMOUNT. So far so good.
Now the problem is I wanted to use the conversison rate maintained in TCURR table based on some condition.
Ex: IF STATUS=CLOSED, then use Conversion rate as of POSTING_DATE,
ELSE, use current date exchange rate.
Standard currency conversion always use curent date for calculating exchange rate, but can I use conversion rate as of POSTING_DATE?
Please advice.
Regards
Pankaj

Thanks everyone for reply. I really apprecite your help.
I tried the suggested FM "CONVERT_TO_LOCAL_CURRENCY", just have one more clarification.
I debuged this FM and saw that Date which we are passing get's inverted as this is how date is maintained in TCURR table. So far so good. But TCURR table normally get's loaded once a month (say at the start/end of month) and so we will have only one date there. However input date which I am passing into thi FM can be any date (as this is the date maintained at transaction level). How do you handle this case?
Please advice.

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.

Currency Conversion terminates the query execution

Hi friends,
When I execute a query it terminates due to the following error in currency conversion. "Abort System error in program CL_RSR_RRK0_CURR and form FILL_CUDIM_02-04 (see".
conversion works fine and gives correct values in target currency when the source currency is say thailand bhat, malaysian ringett, philippino peso etc.., but when i use the source currencies of zimbabwe or kenya i get this error and next the query terminates.
Can any one of you suggest me what could be the problem. How do i systemtically approach to solve this problem.
Thanks
Raj

Hi Serjio
All the currencies mentioned currencies are available in the TCURR table including the exchange rates from those currencies to USD.
Hi Sven,
I am sorry, I really didnot understand when you say "set the flag for protocol to X". You may throw more light on this. I tried debugging the program RSW_CUR_TRANSLATION_RATE_GET in the past step-by-step. This leads to lots of other programs and i was really lost in them. Pls guide me to debug it effectively.
Hi Serjio/Sven,
Further, i missed out to mention the following details in my post. We have two version of a this COPA query. One is older and the other is newer. Both were created before we upgraded from 3.1C to NW2004s.
The older version works fine. The conversion from source to target currencies is good for the african currencies also besides the asia-pacific (AP) currencies. However, the newer version throws out the error message i have mentioned in the post for african currencies but works fine for asia-pacific currencies. Even the newer version was working fine before we upgraded from 3.1C to NW2004s. Its only after the upgrade that we are encountering this problem.
In the query we are also converting the data to SGD (singapore dollar), besides USD. As i donot require this data i have hided the values in SGD. As a reason we have never maintained conversion rates/factors for converion from any of the AP or African currencies to SGD. Due to these missing rates I get an Information message to maintain the conversion rates/conversion factors for AP/African curr to SGD. This message appears along with the error message(mentioned in my post) on the same screen. This information message also appears for the older version of my query, which is currently giving correct $values. But I think we can ignore this message. Else do you think, in some way these missing rates are responsible for the trouble??.
But more surprisingly why is that the older version is not impacted by the upgrade while the newer is affected?
Pls share your views
Thanks
Raj

BEX - Using Currency Conversion

Hi All,
I have a report requirement to convert a Key Figure Amount from currency EURO into USD.
E.g Sales amount 100 is reported in euro, this needs to use a conversion rate to show it in USD instead.
I have created a DSO with the exchange rates for use with query designer.
How do I set this up in the Query Designer? Please be specific.
Thanks

1 Go to transaction RSCUR
2 Create a currency translation key, provide a technical name and description with which you can identify it
3 Under the Exchange Rate tab, provide details about the exchange rate type that you need to use. Generally companies have
   many different exchange rate types like for example, month end accounting rate, month beginning rate, budget rate, average
   rate, historical rate etc. Select the one which best suits the user requirements
4 Under the currency tab you can provide details about source and target currency. If in your case it is always going to be EURO
   to USD conversion, you can fix it or you can provide a variable which would take input from the user and accordingly convert it
5 Under time reference tab, you can provide a fixed time reference or a variable time reference using a standard infoobject
6 You can use this currency translation key in the required key figures in the report to enable currency conversion
Once this is done, you can request the design authority and BASIS team to maintain the required conversion factors between different currencies and exchnage rate types in SPRO >SAP Netweaver>Currencies
Kindly award points if you find this information to be useful
Best Regards,
Sameer

Currency Conversion Question

Hello,
I have a user who would like to enter the target currency type and the target currency value via a selection screen. In other words, bypass the currency translation table.
Is there a standard scenario that can accomplish this requirement ?
Thanks
Dorothy.

Hi
You can do currency conversion at information building level or query level.
At infoprovider level, you can use standard function module:RSW_RATE_GET_BASIC to get rate for given source and target currencies.
Check: Currencies conversion at query level

Currency conversion issue in SPM. We are getting incorrect results with SPM conversion function from one of the document currency to USD.

Currently we are using SPM 2.0 version and we have been facing currency conversion issues.
Please help me in following aspects.
1) Where actually currency conversion happens in SPM. Is it the global program which does the conversion or other way.
2) We have conversion issue for one of the currency where conversion function is giving incorrect results when converting from one of the document currency to USD. here The respective document currency is considering the 1:1 ratio with Dollar which is actually incorrect.
3) We have verified in both BI side(currency tables) and even ECC side.
Please help me in understanding this issue and let me know if you need more information on this.
Its an production issue and appreciated your immediate inputs.
Thanks

Hi Arun,
The following information may be helpful to you.The SSA_HELPER_PROGRAM has options regarding currency settings.
EXCH_RATE_TYPE: This flag governs the exchange rate type which will be used for currency conversion in data management. For example if RSXAADMIN contains an entry EXCH_RATE_TYPE = „ZSPM‟ then the conversion type used for currency conversion is ZSPM. The default value for the exchange rate type is „M‟. More details can be found in the note 1278988.
CURRENCYCONVERSION: By default data management converts all the measures in transaction currency to reporting currency and copies over to the corresponding measure in reporting currency. If the measure in reporting currency is already available in source it might be desirable to disable the currency conversion. To disable the conversion you can make an entry CURRENCYCONVERSION = „ „ in the table RSXAADMIN. This can also be achieved by running the program SSA_HELPER_PROGRAM with the option DEACTIVATE_CURRENCYCONVERSION. The conversion can be reactivated by running the same program with option ACTIVATE_CURRENCYCONVERSION.
UNITCONVERSION: Similar to above. To deactivate unit conversion you can use the program with option and DEACTIVATE_UNITCONVERSION and to reactivate ACTIVATE_UNITCONVERSION. By default both the conversions are switched on
EXTERNAL_CURRENCIES: Normally most of the international currencies are stored with two decimal places however certain currencies do have 0 and 1 decimal place too. For example JPY has 0 decimal places. SAP internal format stores even these currencies with 2 decimal places and at the time of display it changes the value to right decimal places. In case a file from external source is loaded to SPM it might have the format with 0 decimal places in the file. To convert it to SAP standard format post processing needs to be done on this value. If that is the case you can set the flat EXTERNAL_CURRENCIES = „X‟ in the table which will enable the post processing for these values. This flag can also be set and reset using the helper program using the option TURNON_EXT_CURRENCY_FORMAT and TURNOFF_EXT_CURRENCY_FORMAT.

Currency Conversion on Piticular date

Dear All,
               I have a requirement where in I have to convert the Purchase Document Currency into USD on PO Creation Date.
I did the Currency Conversion in the BEX by creating a currency translation type using the tcode RSCUR. Following are the   settings I have Used for Conversion
1. Exchange rate type M
2 target currency         USD.
3 Time reference          Current Date.
Problem is the values are not getting converted to USD on PO Creation date.
Moreover I wanted the records whose values are more than 50,000 USD.
Question.
How to convert the currency from one to another on a Particular date.
Date for each record is different from one another as stated above.
Help me out in this case.
Thank You All
Regards
Mahesh

Dear Raj,
Thank you for the reply.
Iam using BI 7 and the tcode rrc1 is obselete in this version.
So I went to the new tcode rscur and created the currency translation type with the settings below.
1. Exchange rate type M
2 Target currency USD.
3 Time reference Current Date.
Used this translation key in the Key figure properties for currency translation.
I went to the source system and on context menu I transferred global settings.
Do I need to maintain currency keys and exchange rates manually even after transferring global settings?
I have set in the time reference the PO creation date
as Special Info Object. Will this work?
Please let me know.

Mahesh

Currency conversion error in SAP HANA

Hi,
I am new to SAP HANA and learning to create information views in HANA studio (SAP HANA SP6 on Cloudshare, HANA studio 1.0.68). I am trying to create a simple analytic view (on purchaseOrderItem table in SAP_HANA_EPM_DEMO sample database) to have GrossAmount converted to EUR.
I added a calculated column as follows:
When i click on "OK", i get error -
The check box “Calculate before aggregation” has been unchecked, because the definition of the calculated column contains measures with currency conversion, restricted measures or operands with input parameters. For such a calculated column the calculation is always done after the aggregation."
and checkbox "calculate before aggregation" get unchecked. See screenshot below:
Please suggest what could be reason? Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Amit

Hi Amit,
If you uncheck the "Calculate before aggregation" checkbox and activate the view, you will see in the generated log that a Calc scenario is created. (a view with /olap wrapper). Due to the calc scenario, the aggregation is defined as the default behavior for the KFs and hence the calculation cannot be done before aggregation.
By the way, I did not understand why do you need calculate before aggregation for a KF which is just a copy of another KF. If you need Gross amount in Local currency and EUR, then just perform the currency conversion without "Calculate before aggregation" checkbox. It will work.

Ravi

Currency conversion issue while creating PO from Shopping cart

Hello Experts,
I'm facing an issue in SRM during Limit purchase order creation from Limit shopping cart.
Scenario:
Shopping cart was created on 1st of June and Approved on 20th June & Po was created on the same day. But the currency conversion is no ware matching and couldn't able to trace out the same. I have tried several times to replicate the issue it never done in test environments.
But the PO is creating with refer to Vendor currency. For example if SC was created in USD and vendor order currency in EUR then PO is created in EUR.
the relevant notes were already updated in the system and it is working fine when the SC is created and approved on the same day.
Please give me some idea how to fix this issue.
Is there any way to make SC currency is priority than Vendor Order Currency while creating PO?

Hi,
Create Currency Translation Type
T-code for Creating Currency Translation Type in BI 7.0 is RSCUR.
Select Source and Target Currency.
Give Time Reference.
For the Currency translation to take place in the Business Explorer you must have already created a currency translation type.
Currency Translation in Business explorer can be done in two ways:
Currency translation in query definition.
Currency translation in the executed query.

Currency Conversion Issue

HI experts,
i have an issue with my currency report,
where user want see the sales volume data converting from CAD to US $.
when i checked the query the conversion type is Avg rate M source to CAD and the Target currency is CAD only.
but when he execute the report he want to see the volume data in USD $.
and when i execute the report i can see below error.
Could not find any data to display. This might be due to the current selection of variable or filter values.
can some please help me out this issue.
thanks
Raj

Hi venu
thanks for the post,
there's no selection criteria being used by the user, has web link, once he click on link, he directly checking the report.
so there's no section screen available.
and there's no variable created for the currency conversion type .
here my requirement is to display currency in USD $ from CAD $.
target currency maintained as CAD in RSCUR tcode.
how would i do this,
and again the same report is being used by CAD user also, so view shouldn't be change for the both users.
what im thinking is
is there any possibility to create variable on currency to select the required currency dynamically by user in selection screen
please let us know possible solutions like without changing the view for CAD users
please let me know for more info
regards
raj

Hi
You will find the transfer global settings for the source system where you are extracting the data.
Select the source sytem, right click,go to transfer gloabal settings, (select the currencies in this)
Then Reload the data into the cube,
After, Reloading the data into the cube replicate the master data, and activate the mappings,and load the data.
I think, this will work....
