Question on BCS Currency Translation

175 Views

Hi,

I have BCS cube with group currency values loaded through LDS which were based on translation in ECC using different rate.

I would like to keep those values, if possible as reference translation values (using option like Source- GC Key figure, Do not change target key figure) and do specific translation with different exchange rate and post the difference (diff credit or Diff Debit) to Curr Trans Account.

When I tried for reference currency translation to use Group currency as as source and do not modify target key figure system did not take that config and gave errors stating that I have to choose rate to translate and etc.

Can any one give me any ideas/approaches on achieving this!

I can configure the specific translation to translate with the rate I want and for the accounts that I want and can post the differences to Curr Trans account. But the difference in here that system is referring only about the difference of Ref trans and specific trans. What I need is difference posted to CTA between BCS-GC values obtained through LDS and BCS-GC values after Curr Trans in BCS.

So what would be the approach to achieve this!

Thanks in advance

KK
