Hi,

Why we can only write Currency COnversions in Update rule but not in Tranfer rules.

hi,

we can also do currency conversion in transfer rules, using function module, e.g

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_TO_FOREIGN_CURRENCY'

EXPORTING

DATE = 0DOC_DATE

FOREIGN_CURRENCY = 0DOC_CURRCY

LOCAL_AMOUNT = TRAN_STRUCTURE-[fieldname]

LOCAL_CURRENCY = TRAN_STRUCTURE-0LOC_CURRCY

IMPORTING

FOREIGN_AMOUNT = RESULT

EXCEPTIONS

.....

hope this helps.

Hi Reddy,

Currency translation in the update allows you to translate data records from the source currency of the InfoSource into a target currency in the data target. This function is only available if key figures with currency fields exist in the source system in various currencies. Currency translation is not available if the currency of the data records to be transferred is the same as the currency of the target key figure in the InfoCube.
