Standard Currency translation behaviour

Dear All,
We are using standard currency translation planning function for converting amounts from EUR to INR with exchange rate type M.
In the TCURR table, I have exchange rates maintained from USD to EUR and from USD to INR. But, there is no direct exchange rate maintained from EUR to INR.
I would like to know, how the translation will be done in this case. I thought it would first convert from EUR to USD and then from USD to INR. But when I check the records after translation, this is not the case.
Any suggestions?
Regards,
Srinivas Kamireddy.

Dear Mayank/Srinivas,
Maintained the reference currency as 'USD' for the currency translation exchange rate type 'M'.
We are using the standard currency translation planning function to convert the currency values. Also converting the values based on the beginning of the month exchange rates.
The values in TCURR are as follows:
Client Exch.rate type From currency To-currency Valid from Exchange Rate Ratio (from) Ratio (to)
100    M              USD           EUR         01.09.2007 0.73400               1            1
100    M              USD           INR         15.03.2008 42.00000              0            0
100    M              USD           INR         07.03.2008 35.00000              0            0
100    M              USD           INR         03.03.2008 38.00000              0            0
100    M              USD           INR         01.02.2008 45.00000              0            0
100    M              USD           INR         05.12.2007 20.00000              0            0
100    M              USD           INR         06.11.2007 20.00000              0            0
100    M              USD           INR         05.10.2007 30.00000              0            0
100    M              USD           INR         01.09.2007 41.02000              1            1
The incoming record has the value 1,866.67 EUR for the period 001.2008. This value needs to be converted to INR. After running the currency translation planning function 1866.67 EUR is translated to 82,450.81 INR. Not able to trace how this calculation from EUR to INR has been done.
Pls advise on how this conversion has taken place based on which exchange rates.

Change of Standard Currency Translation Logic

Hello everybody,
I need to achieve special goal to for a user request:
In a BPC planning application using version 5 MS I would like to import data from another data source and perform a currency translation from LC to RC. The application is NOT set-up as a YTD application, as the planners should be able to input data on a periodic basis (i.e. month). So the default currency tranlation would take the LC amount from one month and multiply it with the rate for this month giving the amount in RC.
I need to change the FX trans logic in a way that the LC amounts are summed up first and then the multiplication with the last FX rate is taken, i.e. similar to a YTD consolidation application. I do not want to change the existing appl into a YTD-appl as monthly input is needed.
Therefore I need to change the standard FX trans logic from, let's say, "multiply each monthLC value by FX rate and then build the YTD value" into "sum-up each month LC value giving YTD LC value and then multiply by FX rate of the last month".
Can I achieve that by tweaking the standard FX logic or do I need to set-up a certain FX Business Rule? Do I need a new measure ? How would the coding look like ?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
Wolfgang

Does nobody have an idea how to attack such a challenge ?

Currency Translation - Rolling Forecast

Hi,
Scenario is: We're doing 13 months rolling forecast which goes beyond one year. When currency translation happens, as part of default logic, it converts the records only for the year of forecast (selected in current view) and not beyond the current view year.
For instance, if selected forecast period 2011.JAN, we expect user to input numbers from 2011.JAN through to 2012.JAN. System run the currency conversion package and translate records for periods 2011.JAN - 2011.DEC, and doesn't convert 2012.JAN because it is the next year (not selected in current view).
Following is the code I'm using in the FX Conversion package:
*RUN_PROGRAM CURR_CONVERSION
      CATEGORY     = %VERSION_SET%
      CURRENCY = USD
      TID_RA = %TIME_SET%
      RATEENTITY = GLOBAL
      OTHER = ENTITY=%CURRENCY_SET%
*ENDRUN_PROGRAM
Can you please suggest any resolution, i.e. how I can enhance the code to convert records whatever I get from runtime (template) and not just restricted to CV Year?
Many thanks,
Shabbar

Hi Shabbar,
While executing Currency translation, if you can select 13 months (say,from 2011.Jan to 2012.Jan ) in data manager parameter, Conversion executes for all 13 months as %TIME_SET% take value from your data manager prompt.
If you are identify %TIME_SET% based on Year in Category dimension, you can try below code.
*SELECT(%YEAR%, [YEAR], CATEGORY, "[ID]='FORECAST'")
*SELECT(%TIMEMBR%,[ID],TIME,"[YEAR]=%YEAR%")
*XDIM_MEMBERSET TIME=%TIMEMBR%,%YEAR+1%.JAN
//standard currency translation code.
If you are working on BPC NW 7.5, you can consider using TMVL(OFFSET,Time member) to define the scope.You can refer to http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bpc75_nw/helpdata/en/c8/d961d0dbfd4745af4b667279573702/content.htm for more details on TMVL.

BI Planning modeler - Currency translation type not available

Hi there,
I have a problem with the BI Planning modeler and the standard currency translation formula.
I want to use a currency type from TCURR the the type is EURZ. This type is not available, how do I get it in the Currency translation type ???
Thx in advance
Carsten

Hi,
You can also check your currency exchange rates in the following way,
Go to transaction SPRO -> SAP reference IMG -> SAP Netweaver -> General Settings -> Currencies -> Enter Exchange Rates
One more thing you need to make sure is to use a currency in Currency translation planning function, you have to have a exchange rate created in transaction RSCUR for the conversion that you are performing.
For example, if you want to convert 'USD' to 'EUR' you have to have an exchange that defines this conversion appropriately.
For this you can refer to the link mentioned by Deepti above.

Currency Translation at the Web Template level (standard functionality)

Hi Experts ,
We are currently working in BI 7.0 env. with source system ECC 5.0.
We are working for a task where we need to make the BEx queries enabled for currency translation .
The requirement is :-
The user should be enable to give/opt/choose for the follwoing options:-
Currency type (target currency in which the translation is aimed)
Exchange Rate ( Standard(M) or other(P) or something else) and
Key date: The translation will be performed taking the exchange rate on that particular date.
We do have 2 option to perform the task...
1:- Either we do it thru currency translation type definition(RSCUR) and then attaching this currency translation for every amount key figure values at each query level. OR
2:- If we can go and find something at the Web Template level and add/modify the template in such a way so that it gives us the functionality to translate a source currency into a desired one with desired exchange rate type (currently either M or P) and for a specific date.
At this point of time when we do have numerous sub-areas holding hundreds of queries, we want something which should be available as the modification/addition to standard functionality at the web template level and not at the query level as changing each and every one of them and testing would be a cumbersome process and would be costly and risky at the same time. So we are just wondering if we can find something with option no. 2 and add/modify something in the standard functionality.
Please ask for any more information required.
Thanks very much.
regds.

Hi Amit,
You would still need to define the Currency Translation using RSCUR where you would specify
-the exchange rate type (either fixed or variable)
-the target currency (either fixed or variable)
-the reference date
You don't need to modify any of your queries. You can instead use 'Translate Currency'/[SET_CURRENCY_TRANSLATION] command in WAD & specify the Currency Translation as defined in RSCUR. If you want the target currency & exchange rate type to be driven by user input, you can define these as variables in RSCUR & invoke the variable screen using 'OPEN_VARIABLE_DIALOG' in WAD for user input just before calling 'SET_CURRENCY_TRANSLATION' command.

Currency Translation on Key Date for AR Aging

Need your valuable advice!
I have created an AR Aging query including both Open and Cleared Items based on 0FIAR_C03_Q0005 standard query. However the requirement is to do currency translation to Group Currency (USD) on Key Date. This Key date is defaulted to today but the user can change this to go back in time and pull all the ARs as of that back dated key date.
I was planning to create a currency translation type on M rate based on the Key Date Variable in RSCUR. However I am confused on which variable to base this currency translation. I have several key date variables in my query such as 0P_KEYD2 (based on Posting Date), 0P_KEYDT (based on Net Due Date) and 0P_KEYD3 (based on Clearing Date).
Which Key Date Variable should I use in 'Time Reference from Variable' field in RSCUR? Would it be one of the 3 mentioned above or something else and why?
Appreciate your valuable advice.
Thanks,
Al

Hi,
Yes I do want to use the Key date from the variable screen and I am using the standard 0FIAR_C03_Q005 with slight modification including currency translation.
As I mentioned in my original post I have several key date variables in this query such as 0P_KEYD2 (based on Posting Date), 0P_KEYDT (based on Net Due Date) and 0P_KEYD3 (based on Clearing Date). My question is which one should I use if I want to base it on the specific key date variable from the variable screen? I need the specific Key Date variable technical name.
Thanks,
Al

Use of BAdi UC_CTR_XRPROC in Currency Translation

Hi All,
Has anyone experience of the BAdi for determining Exchange Rate in BCS?
In BCS you have the option of customising the Procedure for Exchange Rate Determination by using a Badi, my current client has configured a custom one but I can't view the configuration (due to authorisation frustrations), so I can see that something has been selected but can't see what it is.
Selected Info from SAP BCS help:
You can create additional procedures for exchange rate determination in the customer namespace. The custom procedures, along with the standard procedures, are offered for selection in Customizing of currency translation methods.
If you specify a parameter when creating a procedure for exchange rate determination, this parameter is also offered for selection when the procedure is listed.
At the time of execution, whenever a custom procedure for exchange rate determination is encountered, the system calls the Business Add-In for exchange rate determination ( UC_CTR_XRPROC). There you can freely determine the exchange rate for each data record being translated.
Also:
The E/R determination procedure is the second-last step for determining the value in target currency. (The last step is the currency translation procedure, for which there is also another Business Add-In, UC_CTR_CTPROC.) At this point, the data records to be translated are accessible, and the date of exchange rate determination is known.
All help will be much appreciated

Thanks Eugene,
it appears to have been implemented at one of my current clients but I can't work out what it's doing.
An old, incomplete configuration document indicates that they were trying to stop the GC figure being updated unless Currency Translation Indicator <> 0 (ie RFD record is not updated by Currency Translation task, GC values are only posted to new records with CT Indicator >0)

Currency translation problem

Dear All,
I am trying to create the currency translation type and use it in the Bex Designer. But its not converting the values at all.
Output required:-
Need to convert all INR values to fixed USD currency. Source currency is always INR and target currency is always USD.
But customer i going to give us the exchange rate for everymonth and we need to apply the latest exch rate depending upon when user is running the report. We are planning to store the rates in some z table as of testing we are accessing tcurr table.
Case:-
Say user is running report as on today then last month rate(july month rate) needs to be picked up.
Say user is running report today but viewing report data as of May only then also latest rate i.e July month rate needs to be picked up and applied.
Backend activities while creating translation type:-
Exchange rate type :- M
Source curr:- Source curr from data rec.
Target curr:- Fixed target curr - USD.
Time reference :- Variable time reference , Begining of period, standard infoobject i.e 0FISCPER.
I am not very sure on what values needs to be selected for Time reference tab in order to achieve my case.
Frontend activities:-
Using the same key figure and changing the currency translation properties.
Reqeust you to give ur inputs on this.
Thanks & Rgds,
Anup

Hi Mansi,
Thank you very much . I am now able to select my variable.
But one small concern. Now after creating the currency translation type i just need to maintain the rate in tcurr table rite?
My value would for tcurr table would be;-
M INR USD 20090701 47.095
M INR USE 20090601 460258
Use this variable in Bex Designer.
Is there any other area which we need to take care of.
Thanks & Rgds,
Anup

Currency Translation feature in BEx reports

Hi colleagues,
As you know, when creating queries, you can right click a given key figure and from Currency Translation frame you can select a customized Currency Conversion Key so OLAP engine displays the "converted" value of such Key figure. Standard TCURR table is used for the conversion.
Also, RRC1 txn. code can be used to create Currency Translation Keys to be used in query designer as described before.
I have created a "currency translation key" (let's name it ZTAXILOC) in RRC1.
I have changed my query in the query designer to use this "customized Currency Conversion Key (ZTAXILOC)". My query uses an InfoSet as "infoprovider".
However, when executing query on BEx Analyzer, I receive error message "Cannot apply currency translation type ZTAXILOC in infocube ZTXA04LA3", where ZTXA04LA3 is the name of my infoset that feeds my query.
The Diagnosis is: "You tried to translate a query element with the currency translation type ZTAXILOC. The translation type ZTAXILOC, however, has VARIABLE TIME REFERENCE, relevant to "DH Document Date" characteristic, which is not available in ZTXA04LA3 infoprovider....".
The "DH Document Date" characteristic exists in the ZTXA04LA3 infoset, but technical name changes since for Infosets, BW system dynamically assigns a technical name for each element in the join and it differs from technical in source ODS.
My question is:
Can I use custom "currency translation keys" in query designer if my query uses an infoset as infoprovider? or is custom "currency translation key" just allowed in queries that use an ODS/InfoCube as infoprovider? or should I provide RRC1 with technical name for "DH Document Date" existing on ZTXA04LA3 infoset?
Please advise.
Thank you.
Mario Vallejo.

We are running into similar currrency conversion issues on an infoset. We have an existing currency conversion key created using RRC1. The existing currency key is set up as follows:
TO_USD Convert to USD (Billing)
Exchange Rate Type = Standard translation at average rate
Dynamic Exchange Rate Determination = Yes
Inverse Exchange Rate = No
Source Currency from Data Record = Yes
InfoObject for Determining the Source Currency = No
Selection of Target Currency with Translation = No
Fixed Target Currency = Yes = USD
InfoObject for Determining Target Currency = No
Fixed Time Reference = No
Variable Time Reference = Yes = To the Exact Day = Special InfoObject (0BILL_DATE)
Query Key Date = No
We convert sales amounts to USD using this conversion key on existing cubes. When trying to apply the same conversion key to the new infoset, we received the following error:
Diagnosis:You tried to translate a query element with the currency translation type TO_USD. The translation type TO_USD, however, has variable time reference or variable target currency relevant to characteristic Billing doc. date. Characteristic Billing doc. date is also not available in InfoProvider ZBILLCOST and it references either none or more than one characteristic () of the InfoProvider for Billing doc. date, or Billing doc. date is not a base characteristic.
We have tried to steps in the response to this thread and continue to receive the error.
In Step 1, the only thing that we think we can change is the info object text in the infoset, not the technical name, is this correct?
In Step 2 & Step 3, we have never used variables for currency conversion. We create the currency key using the RRC1 and select the info object for conversion. We did try creating a new currency key in RRC1 and tried to find the newly named (text) info-object for billing date on the infoset, but it wasn't listed as an option under special info-object. Do you have more information on how to create the variable in query designer and how it is used and how to assign to the currency translation?

Currency Translation key not appearing in dropdown for selection

Hi BI Gurus,
We are using BI 7.0 SP 08 and SAPGUI 6.40 patch level 19. Let me explain our scenario.
We are using SEM-BPS for Planning. Data is loaded to BW InfoCubes and then uploaded to summerized Infocube.
We are also loading data from flatfiles into other set of custom Infocubes similar to IM Cubes.
Planning is done in Transactional infocube and there is multiprovider on top of Transactional Cube, Summerized standard Cube and summerized custom infocube (for flatfile) for reporting.
We are pushig back the final plans to R/3 system and currency conversion is automatic. There is no problem here.
We are loading planing data and actuals from flat files to our IM custom Infocubes. The data is coming in different currencies and we are converting and updating in the cubes in fixed currency USD. Once plans are finalized,we want to give some kind of tool to the users to see their appropriation requests and the plan value in local currency. We are thinking to create some BEX queries for this purpose. Users will Select their requests and currency and the query will display their requests in local currency.
RRC1 tcode does not work in BI 7.0. There is an equivalent Tcode RSCUR to create the Currency Translation Key. I created a translation key. Now I am trying to use this key into BEX, using GUI for 3.X and BI 7.0. This key is not appearing in the dropdown for the currency translation key selection. So there is no way I can use this key.
I went through a number of postings in this forum and still looking for the right one. Is something I am missing? or Is some bug in BI 7.0.
I know it was working in BW 3.5. Can you guys share your experience? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Currency translation problem for calculated key figure

Hi All
I have a problem with the currency translation for a calculated key figure.
I have a requirement to show the MM consignment stock value in the specified currency from the selection screen.
For consignment stock, there is no value maintained in the system. So for this we need to calculate the value as below
Restricted key figure: RKFConsignment stock: Total stock with special stock indicator restriction "K"
Calculated keyfigure: Consignment stock value = Nodim( RKFConsignment stock) * (Standard cost / price unit).
Here, in the calculated keyfigure properties --> I have used a currency translation for the 0CALMONTH.
The query has selection on the 0calmonth.
But in the result the I am getting unexpected results.
Do we have any inconsistencies in the currency translation on the formulas?
Please help me on this.
Regards
S.R

Hi All
I have noticed something. I changed my query date selection to Calendar day - Keydate instead of calendar month.
And I have changed the currency variable to fixed exchange rate "CHF", it is working fine.
I think I have some problem with the currency translation variable.
Could anyone of you please send me the currency translation variable for Calendar month with the below parameters
exch rate type : M
Time reference : 0CALMONTH
End of month
Target currency for a variable : < var created on 0currency>
For my report, i need calendar month selection, currency selection.
Please help me with your ideas.
Thank you

Currency Translation for Calculated Key figures

Hello Friends I want to use the Currency Translation for Calculated Key figures.
But when I go to Query and go to conversion tab it is always greyed out. Does that mean we can set the fixed conversion type for calculated key figures. like ZSAD Total debit - credit -flow value.
What is the way to do fixed currency translation in query for calculated key figures.
All the below is done now just want to specify this in query but I can'nt since it is greyed out.
All the below is done
I have created a Currency Translation Type " FiscperConversion" "ZVHGR" now this has Exchange Rate Type from Variable "ZVARN" (Which is a variable single value manual input on 0RTYPE Infoobject for exchange rate.)
2. Now Currency Tab: Target Currency is selected from Variable placed in the Report. ZRPVAR.
3. Now the Variable Time Reference is used. Standard Infoobject 0FISCPER
which is beginning of period.

Hi soniya
Your calculated KF is result of some calculation ...so system will not allow u to do any translation on it...to get CT on CKF you should do it on base key figure...still if you wish to do then you can create a formula variable having processing type a customer exit...write code in cmod to rad exchange rate and multiply ur CKF by this formula variable....
Thanks

Currency translation key based on posting period 0fiscper3

Hi Folks,
The requirement is to perform currency translation in query based on the end of period.The query uses the time characteristics as fiscal year (0FISCYEAR) and posting period (0FISCPER3).
    I have maintained the currency translation key using RRC1 with variable time ref as 0FISCPOER3 .On executing the query I am getting error that 'No Exchange rate maintained ' .But the exchange rates are maintained in the system.
   SAP Help states that the variable time reference has to be a standard InfoObject as 0FISCPER or 0FISCYEAR   or customer defined Infobject with type date.
0FISCPER3 is of type NUMC .
   Is this the reason that I am not getting the currency translation ?? or I am missing out in some settings.
Please advise .Due points will be granted .
Thx,
Gautam

Hi Gautam,
0FISCPER3 just stores the period values as 001, 002, 003 etc, with no reference to the year (and hence no reference to a fixed point in time). Try create the RRC1 key using 0FISCPER and use this in your query.
Hope this helps...

S_ALR_87012168 currency translation type

In this report S_ALR_87012168 - Due Date Analysis for Open Items you can select a translation key "currency translation type"
How you know wat is what ? is there a table / transaction where you can see this?

Hi,
In this report S_ALR_87012168 - Due Date Analysis for Open Items you can select a Currency & translation key "currency translation type". That means in which currency user want to see the open items of Receivables. You have to mentioned the Translation type also, because the selling rate/buying rate may be different for different currencies. Standard SAP gives a lot of options to select for currency translation type.
Hope i clarified your doubt.
Cheers,

Currency Translation Type - Problem with Posting Period (0FISCPER3)

Hi Gurus,
We are currently working on an Implementation project in Integrated Planning (BI 7.0) and are having issues with Currency Conversion for each Month. The requirement is that Client will maintain Currency Exchange rates on a month on month basis for Exchange rate type P.
In all the Info providers we have used Posting Period 0FISCPER3 as a Time characteristic and NOT 0FISCPER ( Fiscal Year / Period ). Eventhough 0FISCPER appears as a Standard time characteristic in all Info providers , we have not even considered the same in all the Aggregation levels.
When we are now defining a Currency Translation Type thru RSCUR transaction , we select Variable Time Reference as "Beginning of Period" and the ONLY Standard Info Object available there is 0FISCPER and not the Posting Period 0FISCPER3.
Is there anyway that we can include 0FISCPER3 also as a Standard Info Object !!!!! If not , is there any way out ..... Do we have to include 0FISCPER necessarily as a characteristic in the Aggregation Level ? Please advise.
Regards,
Venkat.

Hi,
In the IP modeler you can also use the FOX formula for conversion.
CURC(<amount>, <d>, <exchange rate type>, <curr_from>, <curr_to>)
This reads the RSCUR table, and you can write your own date from fiscal or calander. So it is most flexibel.
Maybe this helps.

Juriaan
