Error in EC-CS - Currency Translation is Irrelevant

[Former Member]

Has anyone seen this message? I have checked and as far as I can see, currency is set correctly. Please advise....

Task CrcyTrans is irrelevant or is being copied

Message no. G0256

Diagnosis

Task CrcyTrans is either irrelevant or is being copied from another version for the current org unit. Therefore, the task cannot be executed in the present version.

There is only one exception for source tasks with the type "Data Collection" which bear the task status "Being copied" (in the target version):

If the local currency of the respective consolidation unit differs from the ledger currency, the system permits supplementary changes to the additional financial data in the target version. In this case, you can also start the source task with the type "Data Collection" in update mode for the respective consolidation unit in the target version. Then the system permits subsequent entry of additional financial data.

Keep in mind that the status is not updated.

This error is when you have actived data transfer online, it isnt necesary to do the currency translation because the data already are online.

You have to cuztomizing a task for currency transalation when you use a upload flexible not when you use data tranfer online fron FI.

I hope you help

Hi,

Is the Consolidation ledger currency and the currency of the Consolidation Unit (where transactions are posted) are same? In such case currency translation will not be relevant. Further, are the transactions posted in multiple currencies in Consolidation Unit.

Also check the Currency translation settings in the Master data of Consolidation Unit / Group.

Thanks

Hello -

The consolidation ledger currency (group currency, I assume) is USD. The Consol Unit in question is EUR.

I checked the currency translation settings in the consol unit. There are four other units in the group, all with various currencies, which are working fine. We have another unit in another group that is EUR and it is working fine. We just added this one. I have compared it to the unit in EUR that works but can't find any differences.

Hi,

As the Consolidation ledger currency and Consolidation Unit currency are different, currency translation should happen. Can you check whether currency translation method is defined in Consolidation Unit.

Thanks
