Re: IFM Financial Division Currency

[Selvaraj Pillai <selvaraj.pillai@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Kris, Please ignore my below mail as I have managed to run the ECCA tool 
for complete MAPICS i.e. IFM and all other MAPICS modules. The looping was 
due the base price file. I could trace out the cause of looping after I 
downloaded and the went through the source of EUROB14R.

However, I have once issue to ask you. In our IFM we have override 
exchange rate in all transactions except General Ledger Journal (GLJ), 
which is actually in SGD entry so there is no exchange rate (ARFZNB) and 
it is 1. When ECCA converts, it uses the override exchange rate to 
calculate euro amount, if there is no exchange rate override in the 
transaction, then it takes the current exchange rate. So for all GLJ 
transaction it uses the current exchange rate which, result in some 
difference. Our Finance wanted to use the historical exchange rate for GLJ 
transactions too. So, I wrote an RPG program to read the historical 
exchange rate from a user defined file and update override exchange rate 
(ARFZNB) and the flag to '1' (ARACWC)  in YAARREP and run the ECCA, but 
the result was the same. Could you please give some advise on this?

Regards, Selva

Kirs, This is Selva again,

I managed to install and run the ECCA tool on our test environment. It was 
successful when I selected IFM only conversion, but when I run for all 
MAPICS modules, it went into a loop at the procedure called EUROB14R. When 
I checked the job log the error message '(E) Foreign Price already 
Exists'. We have COM installed and running. Please let me know if you have 
any idea of this error.

You might want to take a look at the ECCA tool and/or its sources.  It was
developed to do the local currency to EURO conversion in the European
communtiy.  Essentially it does exactly what you want to do: change the
local currency amounts everywhere to something else (all the EUROFLAG
juggling which it also does should not bother you too much).
Consulting in a Euro participating country i've used ECCA about on 10 
sites
and had good expierences with it.

I think it will cut down the task tremendously.  ECCA is free, but I 
believe
sources needed to be purchased
