Currency Translation in Asset Reporting (SAP Library)

Currency Translation in Asset Reporting

Use

The central procurement and processing of data for an asset takes place in the logical database ADA in the FI-AA system. One of the functions that is carried out in the database is currency translation. Currency translation for a currency that is different from the company code currency is carried out according to a translation method that you define in FI-AA Customizing.

If the parameters of this standard translation method do not meet your needs, you can define your own individual translation method using the enhancement project BADA0001.

Activities

Follow the procedure below:

Modify function module EXIT_SAPDBADA_001. Enter your own code in include program ZXBADU01.

When the enhancement project is active, the system uses the function module for the translation of currency and includes the function module at the corresponding positions in the logical database.

Define a translation method in FI-AA Customizing (Information System ® Enhancements) that uses the translation date 3 (individual translation).

Activate the customer project with the SAP enhancement BADA0001 (transaction CMOD).

Features

The following transfer parameters are available for function module EXIT_SAPDBADA_001:

I_AMOUNT (amount in local currency)
I_ANLAV (master data for the asset)
I_AFABER (depreciation area)
I_BERDATUM (report date)
I_UMVAR (translation method)

The translated amount is expected as return value in the field E_AMOUNT. This value is then provided to the respective report.
