Currency Modelling

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I got struck at some logical point. I am currently modeling for currency field. I have one field which give me amount gained or lost. I am extracting this field from external source system (Not R/3 , from flat file). This gives me indication about amount gained or lost like following way i.e. +500 for Gained and -500 for the lost.

Now, the problem is arise at the designing info object. What should be data type assign to info object so that I can use that info object any calculation, aggregation etc. and at same time it should indicates that amount is gained or lost.

Hi Aniruddha,

datatype of the keyfigure should be curr. Additionally you need to add a currency infoobject eg. 0currency or a fixed currency to it (depends on your needs). To identify a gain or loss posting you can use eg. 0dcindic or a newly created characteristic that you fill with 'G' or 'L' in your update rules (routine) depending on the posted amount.
