Currency Conversion as Script Logic
You use this to run a new logic file currency conversion. Currency conversion typically runs by default when default logic runs.
Currency conversion is handled by a program called CURR_CONVERSION. This program is launched using the following logic statement:
*RUN_PROGRAM CURR_CONVERSION( <parameters list>)
You must also set up the following list of attributes for relevant dimensions in addition to the required attributes:
|
Dimension |
Attribute |
|---|---|
|
ACCOUNT |
RATETYPE |
|
DATASRC |
DATASRC_TYPE (I, M, A, or L) IS_CONVERTED (Y, G, or N) |
|
ENTITY |
CURRENCY (local currency) |
|
FLOW |
FLOW_TYPE (used to find the closing flow) |
|
CURRENCY |
CURRENCY_TYPE (currency type - Reporting, Local, or group) |
|
TIMEID |
YEAR PERIOD TIMEID MONTHNUM |
|
INPUTCURRENCY (with Rate InfoProvider) |
MD (indicator of multiple or divide) |
The Datasrc dimension is not mandatory for planning, and currency translation can be run without this dimension. If you choose to include a Datasrc dimension in a planning InfoProvider, the attributes must be set up as they are checked in the currency conversion program.
In addition, the Flow dimension is not mandatory for planning, and currency translation can be run without this dimension. If you choose to include a Flow dimension in a planning InfoProvider, the attribute needs to exist in the flow-type dimension to enable currency conversion.
*RUN_PROGRAM CURR_CONVERSION
CATEGORY = %C_Category_SET%
GROUP = %GROUPS_SET%
TID_RA = %TIME_SET%
OTHER = [ENTITY=%ENTITY_SET%]
RATEENTITY = Global
*ENDRUN_PROGRAM
Global should be the valid member ID that is set in the RATEENTITY dimension.
The example shown above contains the line OTHER = [ENTITY=%ENTITY_SET%]. The Other filter supports the dimensions ENTITY, DATASOURCE, and AUDIT. The OTHER filter does not support user-defined dimensions.
