Time reference for Currency translation keys

Hello!
I need to recalculate transactions from Company Code currency to a new target currency. By using RRC1 I created a translation key, but it does not work as I hoped.
The whole year should be calculated based on the exchange rate in the period selected.
By using "Variable Time Ref." combined with key "3 End of period", it calculates each period with its exchange rate. My hope was that it could calculate all periods back with the exchange rate of this period.
Did not find any places to configure this either. Anyone with a good suggestion?
Best regards
Preben

good news: it works!
i forgot to update tcurf

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.

How do you assign a currency translation to a restricted key figure?
Thanks so much,

Hi Colleen,
Did you first assign the Currency COnversion Key (box on left). Then the Target Currency box will be enabled.

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...

Urgent: Currency Translation Key

Hi,
I am trying to do currency translation for one of the cube which has following time char:
0FISCYEAR - Fiscal year
0FISCPER3 - Posting period
In R3 exchange rates is of type M and maintained at the end of month.
For the currency translation key (Z_PSTG_DT ) in BW I have defined following under time ref tab:
Variable time ref: End of period
Special InfoObject: 0FISCPER3 - Posting period
When I execute the query with this translation key I get the following error:
System error in program SAPLRSW0 and form RSW_CUR_TRANSLATION_RATE_GET-06-
No exchange rate from CAD to USD and date 00/00/0000 found (currency transl Z_PSTG_DT/M)
Please advice on how currency translation should be defined for this scenario
Thank you,
sam

Hi Sam,
I assume you are considering posting date as date for conversion of currency and in that case one has to make sure that posting date never gets stored as blank ie. 00.00.0000 this being the case source system will not have exchange rate which is effective on date 00.00.0000 and results in error in currency translation..
Hope that helps.

Currency translation key 899 has not yet been defined

Hello,
While executing report S_PL0_86000028 in production client I am getting message 'Currency translation key 899 has not yet been defined' Message No. KH292.
However, the same message does not appear in quality/development client.
Any idea as to what could be the reason for different behaviour of report between produciton and quality ?
This is an information message. However are there any possibilities of the incorrect report figures being displayed due to this error ?
Regards
Jayesh.

Hi,
I had this message a few years ago in an investment report, SAPNET note 68264 solved that case. Search SAPNET notes there are some old ones (eg 111575, 117829) maye they are helpful.

Report Painter - new Basic Key Figure for Currency Translation

Hi,
I need a report painter report which allows to translate the company code currency HSL in GLPCT into several target currencies. Theoretically I need to translate each month with an own translation rate and possible different translation keys.
In table T804B I tried to create a new basic key figure for GLPCT in order to translate the HSL amount with a second TCURR rate. I copied the original basic key figure GLPCT - CC_HSL. I selected structure GLBDZ and fields CCH++ as data source and assigned new variables for the TCURR selection.
The report painter report is setup with three columns : one in HSL, one with CC_HSL and one with the new key figure. In the selection screen of the report painter report I can enter two rates. But after execution the translation of the new basic key figures is done with the same rate as the CC_HSL column is using.
Did anybody encounter an equal problem?
Many thanks and regards
Markus

have you created a new calculation routine in form pool SAPFGRWG equivalent to E06_CALC_CURR_CONV_HSL? doesnt this explicitly get the company code currencies

Currency translation key issue on web

Dear BI Colleauges,
I am facing a problem with respect to currency translation.Issue is that.When i execute the report on web(Please note variable exists for 0currency).I do right click and use the Global currency option.I am trying to convert EUR to USD.When i use the currency translation option,it successfully changes the value to USD.But the unit remains still in EUR.I am wondering does this Unit also changes or it remains same as its database currency.
As a prerequisite,I have defined currency translation type in RSCUR.Exchange rate as M with Dynamic Ex.rate determination.In currency tab,For source currency its 'Source currency from data record".For target currency its "Target currency selection with translation.In Time ref,its current date.I have not used this currency translation type in keyfigure ( In KF properties conversions tab).I do use this type in run time whn i execute the report.I did try option of creating variable also and using the same variable in report.But the result is same.
Please observe the report looks like this.First column material,second column is currency and third column is value.
It would be great if anybody can give your inputs on the same.

EC-CS-currency translation key 5 - Translation of each period at applicable

Hi,
When using translation key 5 (Translation of each period at applicable rate for the period) in our methods, for this to translate local currencies per period, do we have to run our currency translation methods EVERY period, or can we run it just once, say at year-end, and it will re-compute the group currency values for each period using applicable exchange rate for those periods?
For instance,
period 1: LC value = 100,
GC value = 150
period 3: LC value = 200
GC value = 300
No currency translation method is run at this point, the GC values are just given values.
If we decide to change the exchange rate for period 1 to 1LC = 2LC, and we run currency translation at year-end using translation key 5, will the system recompute the GC value in period 1 from 150 to 200?
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Peter

Hi Sudhir,
From the accounting point of view, the purpose of currency translation is basically to adjust the local currency into the group currency. I can say that, it's actually a "simplified" version of on-line paralel currenty as we have in on-line SAP R/3.
In your case, you said that there is no "off line companies" in the group. I assume that R/3 will be the 100 percent source of your consolidation system.
If your feeder system (FI, and probably CO), has been equiped with the paralel currency, then there's no need for you to activate the currency translation since the translated amount is there already in the paralel currency.
Hope can clarify.
regards,

Error while running FX restatement process for currency translation

Hi Experts,
I am facing errors while trying to run FX_Restatement process to do currency translation.
I am having the error: RUN_LOGIC:Member u201CXXXu201D not exist => where XXX is any currency I am trying to convert.
Below is the script logic (FXTRANS.LGF)used.
*RUN_PROGRAM CURR_CONVERSION
      CATEGORY     = %FX_CATEGORY_SET%
      CURRENCY     = %FX_INPCURRENCY_SET%
      TID_RA = %FX_TIME_SET%
      OTHER = [ENTITY=%FX_ENTITY_SET%]
      RATEENTITY = GLOBAL
      //For More than one other scope parameters: OTHER = [ENTITY=%FX_ENTITY_SET%;INTCO=%INTCO_SET%...]
*ENDRUN_PROGRAM
I am working on BPC 7.5 NW version.
Can you help us with this?

For the currency you are converting to: XXX
INPUTCURRENCY dimension must have XXX as a member with "REPORTING" property set to "Y"
and
RPTCURRENCY dimension must have XXX as a member with "REPORTING" property set to "Y" and "CURRENCY_TYPE" property set to "R"
It needs to be in both dimensions with the right properties. INPUTCURRENCY is the currency dimension in the RATE cube, RPTCURRENCY is the currency dimension in the financial or consolidations cube.

Code for currency translation

All records from ECC will be translated using the daily exchange rate to be aligned with ECC. Created a new key figure with the local currency and added to cube, no rules set for this keyfigure. Need to get the daily exchange rate for this field using settlement date. Source currency used as doc currency and target currency as local currency. I think adding code in end routine would be good. Pls suggest and provide the code .

Hi,
Code for rouine :
LOOP AT RESULT_PACKAGE assigning <RESULT_FIELDS>.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_TO_LOCAL_CURRENCY'
    EXPORTING
      DATE             = SY-DATUM
      FOREIGN_CURRENCY = <RESULT_FIELDS>-S_CURR
      LOCAL_CURRENCY   = <RESULT_FIELDS>-T_CURR
      FOREIGN_AMOUNT   = <RESULT_FIELDS>-S_AMT
      TYPE_OF_RATE     =     'XRATE'
      LOCAL_AMOUNT      = RESULT_FIELDS>-T_AMT
    EXCEPTIONS
      NO_RATE_FOUND    = 4
      NO_FACTORS_FOUND = 8.
ENDLOOP.
Just replace
<RESULT_FIELDS>-S_CURR
<RESULT_FIELDS>-T_CURR
<RESULT_FIELDS>-S_AMT
<RESULT_FIELDS>-T_AMT
by fieldnames provided in youtrmodel,
XRATE by symbol representing type of daily exchange rate
and make sure, as already mentioned above , that this type is
updated before running DTP.
Hope this helps

Error While Sending Data for Currency Translation

Hello Experts,
I am trying to send data via template. Data is getting saved but I am getting following error displayed.
1.) When I try to enter data for a particular month then, error as FX-200.
2.) When I try to enter data accross months of more than year then , FX-045 and FX-310 error.
I had look on various SAP Notes available for the errors.
As per them, I ran Full optimization, I checked rates are maintained for previous year too, I checked for LC Currency Type Property is maintained as L.
But nothing Worked.
Currently only the 3 members are maintained in Rate Dimension, so exceeding the size limit cannot be an issue.
Kindly Suggest, what could be another possible reason for the errors.
Regards,
Apoorva Garg

F4 help not showing for currency translation types

Friends,
I have a scenario where I need to convert currencies in my query based of different tranlastion types. I maintained a variable in RRC1 and it's working fine when I execute the query. It asks for the variable - shows different available options under F4 help and calculates the results as expected.
Now the problem I am facing ....
When I have exceuted the query and want to select a different translation type using context menu on any amount field, it gives me only one option "Average rate for the current date". I am expecting all the available translation types to choose from, here as well.
Can someone help me with that?
AK

Anybody out there ???
