BI7:Transformation - How to set target-currency w/o source-currency?

42 Views

Hi specialists,

I need to calculate some currency-key-figures at data-loading-time.

The DTP/transformation-target contains a currency-key-figure - as well as a currency-unit characteristic for the key-figure.

Let's say the target-field is 0NET_VAL_S - with the currency-unit field 0STAT_CURR.

The DTP/transformation-source does not contain currency-fields at all.

0NET_VAL_S and 0STAT_CURR shall be calculated in a transformation-rule-routine.

In the old BI-update-rules there was the possibility to "calculate unit in routine" - which gave me all possibilities to set a fitting currency-unit (I just needed to set the export-parameter for the curr/unit to the needed currency).

The new BI-transformations obviously don't allow to determine the currency-unit directly in the routine (using the freedom and possibilities of abap-coding). Instead the currency-unit is taken from the source (which does not exist in my case) or a currency-coversation needs to be defined, which is neither what I want nor what brings me forward.

So in other words: What is the BI7 concept for currency-units in update-rules that are determined by a routine and which are not based on an currency-input-fields?
