Executive Summary:

This how-to-guide is to illustrate the steps needed for the Group Currency

Conversion functionality in the BPC 10.0 NW. We will use front end web user

interface, Logic Script and Data Manager in EPM Office Add-in Excel.

In this document you will learn the following:

� How to do the currency translation for a GROUP, which is technically a

SCOPE member.

LEGAL ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE We need to define the legal organization structure before we start configuring the

system for Group Currency Conversion process. For our exercise, we will use the

following structure:

World, South America, North America, Africa, Europe and Asia Pacific are groups.

World is a Parent Group.

Brazil is a holding company for South America Group. Likewise USA, South America,

Germany, and Australia are holding companies for South America, North America,

Africa, Europe and Asia Pacific respectively. USA is also a holding company for

World.

Argentina, Canada, Algeria, France and China are subsidiaries of Brazil, USA, South

Africa, Germany and Australia respectively.

USD- US Dollar 1

EUR- Euro 1.25

ARS- Argentine Peso 0.25

BRL- Brazilian Real 0.5

We are using indirect exchange rate, so “MD” property for INPUTCURRENCY

dimension will be set to “M”

Before Running Group Currency Conversion, we can configure the

system for the three possible outcomes:

OUTCOME 2 is the core outcome of Group Currency Conversion

process.

OUTCOME 1 and 3 will depend upon whether the supporting

properties have been configured for it.

Business Scenario:

GROUP CURRENCY CONVERSION:

At the end of every closing period, accounts of different entities are rolled up to

their respective groups. Because entities report their accounts in Local Currency, it

is essential for companies having international operations to convert these accounts

from local currencies into Group Currency/Currencies (which is a reporting

currency) and populate these converted values to the respective Groups.

Group Currency Conversion is required for the financial consolidation process that

is performed at the end of every closing period. Group currency conversion process

is performed as a part of data preparation phase.

Group conversion is also required for managerial consolidation.

� In BPC 10.0 we can run Group Conversion through Data Manager or

Consolidation Monitor

� In BPC 10.0, Group Conversion could be performed alone or together with Consolidation.

Solution Building Blocks for Group Currency Conversion

• Data

• Models

• Dimensions

• Properties

• Business Rule Table

• Logic

• Data Manager

• Report

Models: Consolidation, Rate and Ownership Models

Dimensions: Following are the supporting dimensions:

Dimensions for Consolidation Model

Except flow all dimensions are required.

Dimension Name Dimension Type

ACCOUNT A – Account

AUDIT D – Audit

CATEGORY C – Category

ENTITY E – Entity

FLOW S – Subtables

RPTCURRENCY R – Currency

TIME T – Time

INTERCO I-Intercompany

SCOPE G- Group

________________________________________________________________________






01/01/2012


Dimensions for Rate Model

It is important to note that the Category and Time dimensions are shared by

consolidation and rate model

Dimensions for Ownership Model

It is important to note that the Category, Entity, Input currency, Scope and

Time dimensions are shared by consolidation and ownership model


R_ACCOUNT A – Account


R_ENTITY E – Entity

INPUTCURRENCY R – Currency

TIME T – Time


O_ACCOUNT A – Account


ENTITY E – Entity

Supporting Properties:

Important Supporting properties for Group Conversion are as follows:

Property ID Dimension to Which It

Belongs

Model

RATE_TYPE A-Account Consolidation

IS_CONVERTED D-Audit Consolidation

DATASRC_TYPE D-Audit Consolidation

CURRENCY_TYPE G-Group Consolidation

ENTITY G-Group Consolidation

GROUP CURRENCY G-Group Consolidation

PARENT_GROUP G-Group Consolidation

STORE_ENTITY G-Group Consolidation

STORE_GROUP_CURR G-Group Consolidation

CURRENY_TYPE R-Currency Consolidation

REPORTING R-Currency Consolidation

FX_TYPE E-Entity Consolidation

IS_INPUT A-Account Ownership

RATE_TYPE A-Account Rate

RATE_TYPE: This property stores the type of rate at which currency translation

takes place for a specific account. Each rate type is member ID of the R_ACCOUNT

dimension and also defined under Currency Translation business rule.

This property takes values such as “AVG”, “CLO”, “HIST”, and “END” for

consolidation model and “FX” for Rate Model

________________________________________________________________________






01/01/2012


IS_CONVERTED: This specifies the members that are to be included in the

currency translation process. The values this property can take is “Y”, “N”, “G” or

Blank.

Y (or Blank)-These members are converted from LC into the desired currency.

N- These members are ignored in the currency translation process.

G- These members are entered in a reporting currency and translated to group

currency.

DATASRC_TYPE (for Group Dimension): This property can take three values- “I”

(Input), “M” (Manual) and “A” (Eliminations and Adjustments).

CURRENCY_TYPE: This identifies whether a group member should be valued at

the “G” (Group) currency or “N” (Local) currency.

ENTITY and STORE_ENTITY: If ENTITY is filled with a valid entity member

and STORE_ENTITY is set to “Y”, the currency translation results are also copied

into this Entity.

These properties create OUTCOME 3

STORE_GROUP_CURR: If set to “Y”, Group Currency Conversion also results in

currency conversion for the group members. In other words results will also be

written to group members.

When set to “Y” or Blank, this property creates OUTCOME 1. If “N” or

blank, data is not written to individual group members.

GROUP_CURRENCY: This identifies the currencies at which a group is valued.

This can take more than one value separated by a comma.

________________________________________________________________________






01/01/2012


PARENT_GROUP: This identifies the group members that are to be used in the

Ownership Manager. This property is also specified while creating an Ownership

Model under “Parent/Child Property Used for the Hierarchy of Groups”

CURRENCY_TYPE (for Reporting Currency Dimension): The values this property

can take are “T” for Transaction Currency, “R” for Reporting Currency and “L for

Local Currency.

REPORTING: This specifies whether a currency member could be used in

reporting. This property is set to “Y” for reporting currency members.

FX_TYPE: This property could be used in the currency translation business rule to

enforce a given set of rule for a specific entity.

________________________________________________________________________






01/01/2012


Business Rule Table:

Business Rule table has to be configured both for group and entity

currency translation processes.

ID: This is the RATE_TYPE member.

Description: Describes the rule.

The Source Flow: It could be a base or parent member from Flow dimension. It

could also take a Dimlist property value to identify multiple flow members.

Destination Account: This account stores the converted value. If left blank,

destination account is the same as the source account.

Destination Flow: The Flow member that stores the converted value. If left

blank, destination flow is the same as the source flow.

Formula: This applies factor to source value. This can contain any arithmetic

expression involving the members of Rate Model’s Account dimension.

________________________________________________________________________






01/01/2012


Force Closing: If checked, system will write a value into the CLOSING balance as

an additional record.

Periodic Calc: This is used with YTD models when currency translation should

be performed on periodic values. If checked, only the difference between the current

and prior period values are translated as per FORMULA.

Entity FX Type: This is used to configure entity specific rule. If this rule has a

value then the rule will be applied to the entities having a matching value in the

property “FX_TYPE”

Remarks: For comments.

________________________________________________________________________






01/01/2012


Logic and Data Manager:

Logic for Balance Carry Forward Process

The Data Manager uses the process chain /CPMB/FX_RESTATMENT and executes

the logic contained in the file FXTRANS.LGF. The .LGF file name could be changed by

modifying script in the data manager.

Logic Script is not required to be configured if Group Currency

Conversion process is run through Consolidation Monitor.

Report: We will look at the reports later when we will run group conversion

process.

________________________________________________________________________






01/01/2012


Implementation Steps for Group Currency Conversion:
