SIMG_CFMENUOKCMKCC1 - Create currency translation type for sender structure

When automatically transferring data, amounts can be translated into other currencies. The target currency of the key figure is automatically determined. For the currency translation, you must specify a currency translation type for the data transfer rules which you can define here. The translation date is important for currency translation types. Here, you can choose from three options:

• the current date

• a date that can be defined here

• the end of the fiscal year, the beginning or end of the period

• a date derived from a field of the sender structure, i.e. fields of type "D" (date).

The fiscal year end is derived from the value of the fiscal year in the receiver record. If you chose the beginning or end of the period for the translation, the date is derived from the period of the receiver record. (In EC-EIS and EC-BP, the fiscal year variant is also derived from the information of the receiver record. The fiscal year variant is determined in the aspect or in the field data area (VERSO).)

1. You create a currency translation type by specifying an exchange rate type and choosing between a normal or inverse exchange rate, a fixed or variable translation date and a fixed or variable initial currency.
2. A currency translation type with an inverse exchange rate is useful if the amounts have already been translated and the original values are likely to be displayed again in a drill-down report.
3. For a variable translation date, you must specify a field in the transfer structure from where the translation date is to be derived. The field must be of type 'D'.
4. If you use a variable initial currency, you must specify a field in the sender structure where the initial currency is stated. This field must be of type 'C' and length 5. The currency key must be entered in Table TCURC.
