 Currency conversion in SAP analytics Cloud

In SAP Analytics Cloud, the rate table contains the currency conversion factor to convert an amount from
denominations of one currency to denominations in another currency. Below is the structure of the conversion
table.
Source Currency/Target Currency: These fields define the source and the target currencies for which the
conversion rate is being input.
Valid From: Defines the date from which the conversion rate mentioned is valid. It’s interesting to note here
that there is no field that defines the date until which the rate is valid. This means that if only one rate is
mentioned for a combination of source and target currencies, category, and rate type, that will be deemed
valid for all future years.
Category: This field gives you the ability to define version-specific exchange rates. If no category is mentioned,
the rates are deemed valid for every category.
Rate Version: This field gives you the flexibility to define different rate versions of exchange rates and view
figures in these different rate versions. It’s particularly useful in scenarios where you need to take exchange
rate fluctuations into consideration when developing plans. There can be multiple rate versions defined for the
same category of data.
Rate Type: This field allows you to define whether the exchange rate is an average for the month or whether
it’s the month-end rate.
