Constraints on the Changeover (EC-EIS)
The following restrictions apply to the local currency changeover in the Executive Information System (EC-EIS):
Variations from the EC-EIS currency concept
If your system does not adhere to the currency concept described in the section
Changeover of the Executive Information System, please note that the relevant data is not converted in the course of the central local currency changeover. An example of such a development would be the storing of a currency key as a characteristic (with characteristic values DEM, FRF etc.) and the use of this characteristic as a reference for the currency of the key figures. Fields of type CHAR cannot be recognized by the system as currency-relevant fields, the system only recognizes CUKY fields as being currency-relevant. In such cases you must take care of the translation of your data.Rounding-off differences and agreement with other components
Rounding-off differences that exist in the local currency changeover can mean that the EC-EIS data varies slightly from the data of other applications, such as FI.
Currency keys in translation types and transfer rules
The system cannot convert to the currency derived in the translation types and transfer rules because it cannot recognize the currency type. In the transfer rules an automatic decision cannot be made as to whether the source currency (for example, a file to be imported) is still in DEMs or whether the data should be transferred in Euros in the future. In reporting, number displays and exceptions are also not adjusted. You can find further information on the necessary cleanup steps in Cleanup in the Executive Information System.
