Wrong currency translation - weird problem

I am trying to perform currency translation but for some reason the number is appearing different every time I run the currency translation. The translated values are 2 times +1 times the earlier translated value.
We have the followign Rates:
JPY =1 -report
USD_M = 0.5
USD = 0.5 -report
All rates are M[ultiply]
Translation 1 (for USD_M company)
LC data = 1000 (no rate)
USD data = 1000 (rate=1 i expect this to be triangulated)
JPY data = 500 (rate=0.5)
Translation 2 (for USD_M company) - we just run FX Translation from DM again
LC data = 1000 (no rate)
USD data = 2500 (rate=2.5 i expect 1)
JPY data = 1250 (rate=1.25 i expect 0.5)
I am using standrad script logic (FXTrans).
Rate app is set to YTD = N/A (that is the only setting we have) we input all rates under PERIODIC.
Also we removed the default logic in the Rate app and keyed directly into RateCalc to see if that was the problem.
I am just wondering how the system is getting this different multiplier when I run the translation every time?

Please ensure you are on the latest version of SQL SP.
Then you can start investigating.
Actually i noticed a pattern with your exchange rates. It seems the rate is actually tripled (i.e 0.5*3).
It cannot be a coincdence that you have 3 members in RPTCURRENCY.
Ensure you are passing LC to FXTRANS and not LC,USD,JPY as this would cause the problem you are having
Perhaps you can post your FXTRANS script, in the meantime try putting
*XDIM_MEMBERSET RPTCURRENCY=LC
at the top of your FXTRANS logic file.
This sounds like a very obscure problem, so please check your SQL and then App setup before changing anything.

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.

Currency translation type problem

HI,
i am migrating the BW3.5 update rules to BI7.0 Transformations.i am getting the problem for one keyfigure that curency translation type.
Actually in 3.5 they are using M_type.
In BI 7.0 it is existing but when i am selecting this type in the update rule it was generating an error saying that this currency type is not excists.

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

APD problem - data type & currency translation

Hi,
I am using APD to get hung number of records from mulitprovider. I use a query to as a source of APD.
In the query, there is an option to select currency translation in variable screen.
But I encounter the following problems:
1. key figures in the output file are in floating point. is it possible to change data type in APD?
2. when I select currency translation in this query, does APD support currency translation?
Thanks a lot.

Hi Helen,
You can use an routine ABAP to change the format of your data type & currency transation.

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

UCMON - Currency translation problem

Hi
I'm new to use UCMON tcode, here I need to debug Currency Translation for Consolidatin Area 'SH' Version '100' Group Currency 'GBP', Period '1/2010'. In context menu of Currency translation if i give Test it is giving dump. The dump says that "GETWA_NOT_ASSIGNED' i,e Fied symbol has not yet been assigned. Dump occured in program "CL_UC_METHOD_ROUND============CP" in "EXECUTE". here
      LOOP AT lt_msg_tmp INTO ls_message.           "begin of "wis190603
      change type of the message for invalid combi characterictics
        IF ls_message-msgid = 'UCD0' AND            "begin of "maj261005
           ls_message-msgno = '008'.
           ls_message-msgty = 'I'.
        ENDIF.                                        "end of "maj261005

            MOVE-CORRESPONDING <ls_data> TO <ls_msg_data>.
            <l_mstep> = ls_entry-mstep.
Here it fails since READ statement sy-subrc became 4 and no record Assigned to Field-Symbol.
As this is standard program we don't access have change, just i think some settings got missed. Can you please anyone tell me what settings required for currency translation column while doing Test in UCMON.
Thanks & Regards

Currency Translation at Infocube Level

Hi All,
Currency Translation is possible at Infocube Level ? I am working on BI 7.0.
I am working on Infocube 0IC_C03 where i have 2 key figures. 1) 0ISSVS_VAL 2) 0RECVS_VAL. I am getting value in USD,DKK & EUR. I have a requirement to add more 2 keyfigures 1) ZISSVS_VAL (USD) 2) ZRECVS_VAL(USD) where both my keyfigures will transfer all the values in USD.
Here i see a problem is 0ISSVS_VAL & 0RECVS_VAL is getting calculated in start routine and getting stored in 0IC_C03 info cube now i want 2 more keyfigures to be added in Infocube and should get calculated from 0ISSVS_VAL & 0RECVS_VAL. i think it may be possible by END ROUTINE ? Correct me if i am wrong. if it is correct then I haven't worked on End Routine before. if anyone can let me know the ABAP for the same, i really appreciate..
Regards,
Komik Shah

Hi Sudeep,
Thanks for your response. Can you send me some ABAP code as from where to start ?

Currency translation differences

Dear SDNers,
I have an issue concerning the currency translation differences.
In a step, I have, in the "Specific Translation" Tab selected the following characteristics :
1) 2 Items : A (BDC 1) and B (BDC 2)
2) MT cat : M1 and M2, because A and B have different BDC (BDC 1 allows M1 and BDC 2 allows M2)
3) Movement type : 141 (belongs to M1 and M2)
The Currency translation Diff has to be stored in the Movement type 142. My problem is that I should theorically put in the "Differences tab" :
MT cat : M1 and M2
Movement type : 142
BUT : I can only put one single MT Cat ! No complex selection allowed...
Do you have any hint to avoid that ? Because MT cat and Mtype are compounded => If I only put M1 and 142, the system can not be able to post for the item B....
Do I have to create 2 steps?
Thanks for your help
Regards
Thibaud

Hi,
Thanks for reply,
I had time to do some tests, and I am sorry, you are wrong :
the system displays a warning and adjust automatically according to what is written in the BDC of the account.

Limited Currency Translation

Hey Experts!
We're running BPC 7.0 (SQL 2008 DB)
We've recently setup FX tranlation usign Script Logic in BPC. After setting it up, we realized that we need to filter the data being converted. A few months ago, I was sent a document from SAP support named "How To Configure Limited Currency Translation".
I've followed this document very closely and I'm getting the following error when trying to send data to my system:
ExecuteBaseLogic::Error in step 1 of QueryCubeAndDebug: -2147467259 Query (1, 99) Parser: The syntax for ',' is incorrect.

Currency Translation

Hi,
We have different needs for the currency translation depending on the financial statement items an movement type.
So, we have defined 2 methods (and 2 tasks) all different.
They are different also in the exchange rate type for the reference translation.
That is, for example:
First method (task):
Exchange rate type for the reference translation (1003 - Historical exchange rate)
Step:
   Investment items
    and type of movement (100 u2013 beginning balance)
Specific translation:
u2022     Currency translation key: periodic
u2022     Exchange rate type: EURX (EMU regulation, variable exchange rates)
Item (Translation Difference):
Item (58200)
    Subitem (58201)
Second method (task)
Exchange rate type for the reference translation (1002 - Average exchange rate)
Step:
    Income statement items
Specific translation:
u2022     Currency translation key: periodic
u2022     Exchange rate type: EURX (EMU regulation, variable exchange rates)
Item (Translation Difference):
    Item (58200)
    Subitem (58202)
PROBLEM:
When we run the methods at consolidation monitor, the second task affects the result of the first task.
The result from the first task is correct.
When we run the second task, which is for income statement items (not this as the first one u2013 investments), System is creating a new step (a cumulative one), which is changing the Exchange rate type for the reference translation of this item; meaning is changing the previous correct values.
Why is this happening?

Thanks for your answer.
So, what you're saying is that I cannot have several Exchange rate type for the reference translation according to financial statement items/movement types?
I always have to have the same Exchange rate type for the reference translation for all the items/movement types?
Thanks for your help.
Best regards.

Currency Translation Warning

HI,
I created a query and used currency translation for the key fields. When I execute the query it throws a warning message for all fields in column saying
'Currency Translation cannot be carried out for element 67/XXX'
where XXX is the column name. I have checked the translation used and it is correct and I have used the same one for all the fields. Can someone shed some light on this problem?

Currency translation error

I have created a currency translation key for Exchange rate type M and the key is based on time characteristic 0CALMONTH. It is working almost fine but is failing in the below two mentioned places:
1. The values for all the months are being shown correctly, except for December 2006. for december it shows the november values. However it shows the values for January 2006 correctly.
2.When the currency is CZK(Czech Republic), the currecny conversion values are not matching completely. That is the ratio between CZK and USD is 22.02132 in R/3 but it is 22.02164 in BW.
I have tried checking the values against the report RCURTEST, the values for CZK to USD are matching in this report output, but in BEx output they dont match. I have also tried transferred the settings from R/3 (by right clicking on Source system and choosing transfer exchange rate settings). But still I keep getting this mismatch.
Can somebody advise where I am doing wrong?/
Thanks in advance.

I found the solution.
I removed the check in "Currency Conversion for External Systs" in External Data tab of InfoPackage, and was able to load the data.
Thanks guys for all you help

Currency Translation over several periodes

Hi,
I have a query on cube 0figl_VC1, on rows 0glaccext and one column with 0balance
currency translation type:
from source curr. to EUR, with our own exchange rate type
and variable time ref beginning of periode (0FISCPER)
exchange rates are updated daily
On runtime I filter periods 001.2007 to 003.2007
no query key date
What I need :
Balance of (accountings of periode 001 translated with exchange rate of periode 001+
accountings of periode 002 translated with exchange rate of periode 002+
accountings of periode 003 translated with exchange rate of periode 003)
Shall it work like this? If not the exchange rate of which periode will come into effect?
Thanks for your help

Currency Translation in Report!

Hi All,
I am working on AR Aging report. We are maintaing currency translation in the BEx only. We are maintaining month end rates. For that exchange rate is defined and configurations are done.
But when I executed Over due analysis report the aging balances for target to source gets converted in to the currency amounts which is loaded latest means if I update the TCurr table with Nov month end figures it will show the aging report as those rate for every report.
But if I run the report as of oct then it should show Oct 31st month end rates.
If I am wrong please correct.
How does this R/3 report behaves when it comes to translations.
Thanks in Advance.
