Group Reporting - Currency Translation Problem in the end year consolidation

[former_member766605]

Dear Specialists,

I'm face some problems with the currency translation task in the Group Reporting.

Let me describe some details before explain the problem:

- S4/Hana started at the client in 07/21 (1° period in the fiscal year - the fiscal year in this company start in july and finish in june).

- The data from fiscal year 2021 was updated in S4/Hana by flat-file (only the ending balance by G/L account)

- My local currency is the same of the group currency.

Let's describe the problem:

- To bring the data from 2021 to 2022 its necessary execute the end year consolidation and after execute the balance carryforward in my firts 2022 consolidation.

So I start to execute my end year consolidation (period 12.21) when I arrive at Currecy Translation Task my problems begin, because this task is obligate to execute as shown below, when I execute the task I give the message:

I understand that if my local currency and group currency are the same this task should be optional, but in this case its obligate.

When I try to block this task before close the period and finish my end year consolidation I got a error message:

I have no idea how to solve this problem and I change my consolidation period this task (currency translation) become irrelevant.

What I should verify to solve this problem?

The log error shown why I cant block the task.

The log error shown why the task wasnt executed:

My data moniton shown the task currency trans. as an obligate task:

Hi, which release are you using and do you have any GC extension versions?

Hi Yannick,

normally, if the cons. unit is not integrated with accounting and has the same local currency as group currency of the ledger, you might need to execute the currency translation task to populate the group currency amounts if they were not uploaded. Anyway this seems to be an issue with the data monitor. Please do the following: Please put the cursor on the currency translation task and then go to task -> reset status. This should reset the status and adopt the new changes

Best regards

Hello Mazen,

Tks for your answer.

I tried your suggestion and the symbol of the task currency conversion, but I can't still block the task.

The last line its a consolidation unit with local currency different from group currency that I used to test the task currency conversion.

When I change period to the first period of 2022 the conversion curreny task become not obligate ( red line symbol).

I dont understand why in the 12.2021 this taks is obligate.

Hello Yannick,

I did a small test in 1909 release test system for period 12. The cons. unit had first a local currency not equal to group currency. Then I changed the local currency to become equal to group currency. Then after I reset the status in the same period so it worked and CT was not a required for the unit. However, I changed the year in global parameters to a previous year and saw that CT is required for that year in data monitor. This means that the status is time dependent. So I think if you reset the status for period 12.2021 then CT should become not mandatory. I hope this would solve the issue.

Best regards

Hi Mazen, how's going?

I'm using the release 1909.

I don't think so that I have any GC Extension - my consolidation will be in my local currency in the first moment. (Local Curreny = Global Currency). So I didn't pay attention in the GC configuration, I'm using the standard configuration.

Even my GC was set up as the same curreny of my local currency.

But when I created my C.U I set up the currency translation method - I followed all the instructions of the test document SG1.

The most bizarre that only in the period 12/21 the currency conversion is an obligate taskt all the others month this taks is optional.
