Translating equity at the historic rate (BPC 7.5 NW)

Hello,
For group reporting purposes, our accounting policy is to state our consolidated equity at historic rates. That means that net assets of all subsidiaries are translated to GBP at the closing rate and the income statememt of all non-GBP subsidiaries are translated at the yearly average rate. The equity for all non-GBP is not re-translated but the difference between the equity at the closing rate and the equity at the historic rate is posted to FCTR in reserves.
Anyone has any idea how to implement this in BPC?
Thank you.

Hello,
Thanks for your response. I would really appreciate if you could expand on your comment above, as the rule needs to do several things:
-The opening balance of equity (in any particular BPC account code) needs to be at the previous period's closing rate.
-The movement during the period in the account needs to be at the average rate.
-FCTR needs to be calculated, which is the difference between the LC at closing rate, less the amounts mentioned above. But the FX will be posted to a different account.
Thank you very much again.

Period Rate & Historical Rate?

Dear all,
1) To define "Period Rate" is for translation purpose, am I right?
2) I define a new responsibility for a company only allow them to entering GL, if I need to performing translation, I need to enter historical rates only for owner’s equity accounts ( I mean the balance) only for the first month, no need afterwards?
Please advice,
Amy

Dear Jogendra,
I have followings question from your reply:
1) Why the historical rates should be defined for all
the periods if it is different in different periods?When we run translation,historical rate defined for code combinations looks for immediate period in which the rate is defined.So,if the historical rates are not same from one period to another due to business reason and the rates are not defined in the immediately preceding period then the code combination would look for earliest period available for translation.So,we should define for all the period.
>
2) What is your meaning of "Other rates defined for a
code combination"? What rates I need to define in
code combination?Other rates means period rates defined for a period for all the code combinations other than owner's equity accounts.
Except in case of historical rates for owner's equity,there is no need to defined any rate for each code combination.
Best Regards,
Amy

Translating ACCOUNT at Historical Rate

Hi all,
Can someone please help because there does not seem to be anything in the documentation regarding this or I must be missing it?
I have several ACCOUNTs that need to be translated at historical rates. In other words, users will enter the Local Currency amounts and the corresponding Translated Currency amounts for these ACCOUNTs in an input template. However, the translated currency amounts get re-translated at some other exchange rates when I run the FX Restatement package.
I need to tell the application to ignore re-translating the translated currency amounts for these certain ACCOUNTs and just leave the translated currency amounts entered by the users alone as they are. Can this be done in SAP BPC?
Thank you.
Regards.

Hi Joost,
Thanks for the tips.
I suppose that the values I specify in the dimension prompts in FX Restatement SSIS package will define or delimit the scope that the stored proc SPRUNCONVERSION will process, in terms of which dimension members to process.
If you don't mind, just a few more things to cement my understanding.
Is the parameters list for SPCONVERSION fixed in terms of the dimension types I can pass into the stored proc? Also, must I specify the dimesions in a particular order (e.g. can %CATEGORY_SET% be placed before %APP%) or can I enter any parameters in any order that I like? Does this also hold true for all other stored procedures? Is there any official documentation on this?
Secondly, the FX Restatement SSIS package asks users to select the value of 3 dimensions: CATEGORY, ENTITY and TIME, which I select using a drop down list. I guess other dimensions not specifically asked for will be taken from the Current View settings.
However, the SPRUNCONVERSION is written as:
*RUN_STORED_PROCEDURE=SPRUNCONVERSION('%APP%','%CATEGORY_SET%','','GLOBAL','%SCOPETABLE%','%LOGTABLE%')
In contrast to the FX Restatement SSIS package, the member for TIME and ENTITY is not specifically fed into SPRUNCONVERSION. May I know how I should reconcile this or should I not be bothering about this in the first place?
Thank you very much.
Regards.

Currency Translation at Historical Rates

Hi,
We wish to translate Retained Earnings, Equity and Investment FS Items at historical rates. I wish to understand the following -
1) For equity and investment line items the system should refer the Additional Financial Data for GC value. However in our case we found that the same does not happen everything (even though parameters such as profit center, partner profit center and partner unit match)..
2) I wish to understand how the system translates retained earnings.
We are implementing SEM-BCS at a client site and hence we wish to migrate historical data.
Regards,
Shibu

1) Can you please provide a detailed example of AFD vs. Totals and the resulting translations, as well as how translation is configured for the example, for us to assess what is actually occuring?
2) Because there are many options with respect to transaltion in BCS it would be helpful for us to know how retained earnings should be translated in order to provide suggestions. For US GAAP, it is typical to translate RE on a periodic basis at the month's avg. rate in order to coincide with the corresponding earnings/losses.

Journals: managing flows and historic rate differences

Hello,
We are using BPC for a Statutory Consolidation project and need your help on journals:
We have two dimensions for accounts:
accountp for balance sheet and profit and loss accounts
accoutl for flows of the balance sheet (like opening, increase, decrise.. closing)
- question 1
There's a relationship between accountp and accountl,
for instance accountp "#ACC1" should just be related to accountl "#OPE", "#VAR", "#CLO"
Anyway the journal displays in correspondence of "#ACC1" all the possible accountl. Can we limit the view to just the right flows in some way?
- question 2
Some of the journal we are posting involve equity accounts. These journals need to be translated at a "forced" exchange rate, not at the ending exchange rate. is it possible to force exchange rates in journals?
Thank you for your precious help,
Giosuè

I donot think so that this is possible that exchange rate can be calculated as per document date.
To full fill this, you can make entry of vendor's invoice date as posting date.

Need to get the heart rate in run keeper without bying expense additional hardware

Hi,
I am using runkeeper to track my activities.
Till now, there is no compatible bluetooth device that can work directly with the iPhone in order to get the heart rate, this is very dispapointing.
Any project in progress on this point?

Exch.Rate Type for Determining the Proposed Rate

Dears,
I defined, in the document type to be used for Goods Receipt, the field T003-KURST (Exch.Rate Type for Determining the Proposed Rate) equal to u2018Pu2019: exchange rate type used also for standard translation for cost planning.
Then, I created a Purchase Order using a vendor in foreign currency, and in the header section within tab u2018Delivery/Invoiceu2019 in field "Exchange Rate" I filled in the exchange rate valid at the moment of the Purchase Order creation and I also put the flag in the indicator "Fixing of Exchange Rate".
Afterwards, I posted the Goods Receipt against the Purchase Order created at the previous step.
My expectations were to find in FI accounting:
- 1 line item for stock increase (transaction BSX) valuated using the exchange rate defined in the document type in field T003-KURST;
- 1 line item for GR/IR increase (transaction WRX) valuated using the exchange rate defined in the Purchase Order and indicated as fixed;
- 1 line item for difference (transaction PRD) between stock and GR/IR.
but when I checked the accounting document, these my expectations were not met, because:
- the line item for stock increase (transaction BSX) has not been valuated using the exchange rate defined in the document type in field T003-KURST, but a differet exchange rate that I didnu2019t find defined for this couple of currencies;
- the line for GR/IR increase (transaction WRX) has been valuated as expected using the exchange rate defined in the Purchase Order and indicated as fixed;
- the line item for difference (transaction PRD) between stock and GR/IR has been created.
The help (F1) for field T003-KURST, show the following indication:
Exch.Rate Type for Determining the Proposed Rate
    Rate type under which the proposed rate is defined for foreign currency documents.
Use
    If no exchange rate is specified in the document header when entering documents in foreign currencies, the system will automatically select a rate from the currency translation rate table. The system then converts all amounts in the document's line items using this exchange rate.
    The system uses the average rate as a default value as long as no other exchange rate type is entered here.
Based on this message, my expectation is that all documentu2019s line items have to be converted at the exchange rate type defined in field T003-KURST. And in the case mentioned above, the line for stock (BSX) should be converted at exchange rate type defined in field T003-KURST.
While, correctly, the line for GR/IR (WRX) has been converted at the exchanged rate fixed in the purchase order.
Can you please let me know how can be fixed the problem for the line related to the stock allowing the conversion using the exchange rate type defined in field T003-KURST?
Thanks and Regards,
Jody

Hello Jody,
kindly consider the information contained under the attached note:
191927 - Posting logic: GR for foreign currency PO.
As stated in it:
Postings to the material stock account (BSX):
In order to be able to determine the value of the stock posting, the
valuation methods which exist in the material master in local currency
(standard price, total value of stock) must be converted into document
currency. This translation is thus carried out on the posting date with
the exchange rate type that is assigned to the FI document type used,
that is, independent from the exchange rate defined in the purchase
order!
If no exchange rate type is assigned to an FI document type, the system
uses exchange rate type M.
Please, check in your system the settings stored in the customizing
transaction OBF4 for the document type WE (Goods receipt). If the field
'Exch.Rate Type for foreign currency documents' is empty, the exchange
rate type M is used.
The fixed conversion rate in the purchase order refers to the valuation
approach in the purchase order and, therefore, to the costs for the
purchased material. Therefore, the posting amount to the GR/IR clearing
account (WRX) is converted according to the fixed conversion rate in the
purchase order header.
On the other side the fixed conversion rate in the purchase order is not
designed for converting the posting values to the material stock account
(BSX). This conversion reflects the situation of the valuation of the
material stock and is therefore designed to be independent of the
conversion rate defined in the purchase order. This is what note 191927
outlines.
In the note 191927 you will also locate relevant information about the
postings to the KDM key:
Exchange rate differences (KDM):
As of Release 4.0A, exchange rate differences (KDM) can be posted to a
separate account. The exchange rate differences result from the
difference of the clearing value on the GR/IR clearing account (WRX) in
document currency that is translated to the current exchange rate stored
in the system in local currency from the clearing value in local
currency that is determined with the conversion factor from the purchase
order or the invoices.
The offsetting entry for the exchange rate differences is settled with
the price difference.
(Price difference = GR/IR amount - stock value - exchange rate
difference)
KDM is only posted during the GR if the flag T169P-XPLCU is initial,
therefore, KDM postings will not occur during incoming invoices.
This is determined in the IMG path:
Materials Management
-> Logistics Invoice Verification
   -> Incoming Invoice
      -> Configure How Exchange Rate Differences Are Treated
Here, you have the following options per Company Code:
.- The exchange rate differences will be calculated from the difference
   between the exchange rate at the time of the goods receipt and the
   exchange rate at the time of the invoice receipt.
.- The exchange rate differences will be calculated from the difference
   between the exchange rate at the time of the invoice receipt and an
   assumed exchange rate that is valid for a specific amount of time,
   such as a year or a season.
.- No exchange rate differences will be calculated. Instead, differences
   from exchange rate variations will be considered as price differences
   and posted to a price difference account.
The field T001A-CURDT for the company code will determine which date is
relevant to calculate the exchange rate difference.
This is set under the IMG path:
Financial Accounting
-> Financial Accounting Global Settings
   -> Company Code
      -> Multiple Currencies
         -> Define Additional Local Currencies
So, finally, the value for KDM calculates as difference between
GR/IR amount in local currency - GR/IR amount in foreign
currency*exchange rate.
I hope this information can be of help.
cheers

Change the exchange rate of a line item manually

My company has an issue regarding the exchange rates. We are in a country using EURO.
Though from one of our vendor we take prices in USD. In our pricing procedure in the sales orders we post the price of the vendor and in the prices we maintain another condition type for our profit.
In the case of the vendor price that gives us USD, we have want to give the price in the usd and the system to translate the usd in eur (in the next line of the procing procedure) accourding to an exchange rate that the user will give per line item.
At the moment the system thanslates the price to eur accourding to the exchange rate from the system (automatically) and I haven't have the possibility to change the predifined exchange rate manually as I want to do.

Hi,
Exchange rate are maintained in the T.Code "OB08".
Goto the T.Code "OB08".
Change the exchange rate as per your requirement.
If you want to get different currency then goto the T.Code "XD02".
Enter your customer number,Company code and sales area.
Goto Sales area data.Sales tab.
Change the currency to your value as per your requirement.
If you create a new order with that customer,then we will get this new currency.
After creating the invoice,pass the accounting document number into "FB03" and enter the company code and fiscal year.
Enter.
Click on "Currency".
It gives you the value in base currency.
Regards,
Krishna.

How i can give date in each input for applying the exchange rate in Query.

Hi Gurus,
We have a requirement to create some currency conversion queries. In the selection screen user should be able to give four inputs. Like given below
Input 1.          a) key figures
                        b) Fiscal Year
                        c) Fiscal Period
                        d) Exchange Rate Type
                        e) Date (Exchange rate will be applied which is applicable on the given date)
Input 2.         a) key figures
                        b) Fiscal Year
                        c) Fiscal Period
                        d) Exchange Rate Type
                        e) Date (Exchange rate will be applied which is applicable on the given date)
Input 3.          a) key figures
                        b) Fiscal Year
                        c) Fiscal Period
                        d) Exchange Rate Type
                        e) Date (Exchange rate will be applied which is applicable on the given date)
Input 4.          a) key figures
                        b) Fiscal Year
                        c) Fiscal Period
                        d) Exchange Rate Type
                        e) Date (Exchange rate will be applied which is applicable on the given date)
So we will have 4 key figures in the query results with the exchange rate applied on the given date.
I will make four restricted key figures and make the query. I do not know how i can give date in each input for applying the exchange rate.
Please give your suggestions to resolve my problem.
Many thaks in advance.

You can not bring the key figures in the selection screen for the currency translation. Instead you can apply a currency translation type to respective key figures in the query definition.
The currency translation type can be defined in RSCUR transaction, where you can maintain the parameters like Exchange Rate Type, Exchange Rate Date etc.
You can refer one of my article on this at
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/600157ec-44e5-2b10-abb0-dc9d06ba6c2f
Hope this helps.

Historical Rates for Non Leading Ledgers.

HI Team,
We are using ECC 6.0 and we have New GL & parallel ledgers in our system. We are facing some issues while running Depreciation.
For Company code (CC is XXXX and currency is CHF and Group Currency is USD) we are using 01 (Book Depreciation) and 15 Tax deprecation for XX ledger (Non Leading Ledger) with 3 (area post Depreciation only).
While running the Depreciation for Dep. Area 01 it is taking the Historical Exchange rates posting Dep in group currency but whereas Dep 15 is taking the current day exchange rates due to that we are getting balance when comparing the OL ledger with XX Non leading ledger.
Can you please check and let us know how system can consider the Historical Exchanges rates for Non leading ledgers
Thanks
DB

HI Hugo Segovia,
Thanks for your response.
The below chat is the current configuration in our system

1     Book Depreciation                 Yes                                    1.Area Post in Real Time                Leading Ledger XX
15     Tax Dep Area                  Yes                                  3.Area Post Depreciation only    Non Leading Ledger XY
32                 Book Depreciation in Group Currency     Yes     0.Area Does Not post
As per your suggestion I have to modify the Dep.Area 32 from Area does not post to Area post in Depreciation area and I should assign Non Lading ledger XY to Dep.Area 32.
In this case the amount which is posted in Non leading ledger will be duplicate as it will be posted as per Dep .Area 15 and Dep.Area 32 also. How can I control this?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Thanks

SLA Secondary/ALC Ledger Historic Upgrade with original historical rate

Hi Gurus,
Is there an option to run SLA Secondary/ALC Ledger Historic Upgrade program with Conversion Option: Primary Entered to Secondary/ALC Accounted, but keeping the original transaction rate from the Primary Ledger, instead of converting all subledger data in the new secondary ledger with one single rate, entered in the “Currency Conversion Rate” parameter.
Thank you in advance!
Krasen

Hi Krasen,
the concurrent program "SLA Secondary/ALC Ledger Historic Upgrade" has a parameter called "Secondary Conversion Option" this parameter has two options ..
Option 1 - Derive from Original Transaction Rate
Option 2 - Use Initialization Rate
You should be selecting Option 1 which would make the conversion process using the exchange rates as stated in the original transaction and not use a single rate for entire conversion ....

Currency translation with user defined exchange rates in a BEx report

Hi guys,
our business department requests a new functionality in our BW system. They want to simulate a currency translation in a BEX report. But this currency translation should be so flexible, that the user can change the exchange rates directly in the report.
For example: The report should show a list of all our local company revenues. In the first column the plan revenues will be shown in the local currency (each company has its own local currency: USA->USD; Japan->YPN, Great Britain->GBP and so on). This revenues comes from a normal infoprovider, loaded via flat-file.
In the second column the user should be able to enter or change a plan currency rate. The entered exchange rates should be stored in BW for a next use. They won't maintain the rates directly in TCURR, because this rates are only for simulation use !
In the third column the translated Revenues in Euro currency has to be shown under the use of the exchange rates from the second column.
I investigated a lot of time in the SAP help and here in the SDN, but I didn't find any solution to realize this. Is there generally a possibility to make a currency translation with exchange rates out of the TCURR? Would it be an option to use the integrated planning function of BW? Or is this requirement to far away for an simple implementation in SAP BI ?
I hope, someone of you has also fixed a similar problem or has a good inspiration.
Thank you in advance.
Thomas

thanks for the prompt reply!
Unfortunately, exchange rates are not a part of my cube. They are held in different tables, and referenced depending on what kind of exchange rates I need to be looking at (average rates, daily, planning etc.). The only way for me, at the moment, to know which rates have been used is to go to query global view, and look at the type of conversion, and then try to figure things out. Plus there can be a different key date used in the query, which makes things more complicated.
Anyway, it was worth asking
Thanks again.

Regarding the exchange rate used in shopping cart

Hi,
Iam facing one problem regarding the currency conversion while crerating the shopping cart. The basic currency in my organizational profile is CHF. But I have a requirement to create a shopping cart in NZD(New Zealand dollars). After entering all the details and click on Shop, Iam going back to the home page and the error Iam getting is " Error during currency translation from NZD to CHF". I have checked for some other currencies like EURO, AUD etc and for all these currencies Iam not getting any error and the value gets converted to CHF with some exchange rate.
I want to know which table the system looks at for getting the exchange rate and why this error is coming only for NZD to CHF?
I checked some standard tables like TCURR and TCURX.
Any feed back will be very much appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Ramachandra DN

Hi,
I am also facing this same issue.... Currency conversion is working fine for other currencies except for GBP to IDR.

Curr Translation in Query for Current rate

My requirement is to have a fixed target currency as USD, and convert that to local currency (multiple as applicable for each record) after query execution.
So I selected the KF in the query with Conversion type = 0MEANTODAY. and Target curr = USD.
then i execute the query to get values in USD. Now when i right click and uncheck the box which says " Consider Currency translation from Query Definition" ; I get all the values in Local currency.
the problem is - this conversion is not picking up current exchange rate - it's picking the one for past week.
What am I doing wrong here and how can i resolve this without any backend development ?

Thanks Veerendra for the input although that did not resolve my issue.
you're saying I should check the data is in Sync between the ECC and BI system - right ? - I will do that.
But i tried to tie back the exchange rate that the report output is giving with TCURR in NBI , TCURR in ECC and V_TCURR in ECC. It does not match up with any of these. that's what's bothering me - that where is it really reading the exchange rate from ?
Thanks,
Shweta

What is the transfer rate of the ata interface in hp pavillion g4-1117dx

I am looking at replacing hdd for my hp pavillion g4-1117dx with a ssd. I would like to know if the existing hdd interface copes with ssd's transfer rate at 6G? Thanks
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Ken.
If you have an Intel CPU this would apply to you.
DMI 2.0, introduced in 2011, doubles the transfer rate to 20 Gbit/s with a ×4 link. It is used to link an Intel CPU with the Intel Platform Controller Hub (PCH), which supersedes the historic northbridge/southbridge implementation.[2]:14
DMI 3.0, promising speeds of up to 8 GT/s, will be used by two-chip variants of the upcoming Intel Skylake microprocessors, which will be used in conjunction with Intel 100 Series chipsets; some variants of Skylake will have the PCH integrated onto the die effectively following a system-on-chip (SoC) design layout.[3]

6G transfer rate would be no problem.
