Business Scenario Many a times, you have a need to automate currencies and UOM upload from ECC6 to BI system for this we can use schedule a Process chain job based daily, weekly, monthly, or defined frequency. This will ensure all currency and UOM will update happen in the background and when users run the Queries they automatically get the transferred unit values. In certain cases new currency or units will update in ECC6 so if we load into BI it will get error like NO SID FOR CURRECNY OR UNITS example NO SID for EURO, in this case need to update currency or units from ECC 6 to BI system automatically by using transfer global setting with help of program RSIMPCUST. RSIMPCUST update all Currency and UOM for below tables from ECC6 to BI. Currency and Unit Tables Currency Tables: TCURF Conversion Factor TCURS Rate Spreads TCURT Currency Code Names TCURV Exchange rate types for currency translation TCURW Usage of Exchange Rate Types TCURX Decimal Places in Currencies TCURC Currency Codes TCURN Quotations UOM tables: T006 Units of Measurement T006A Assign Internal to Language-Dependent Unit T006B Assignment of commercial to internal unit T006C Assignment of external technical to intern T006D Dimensions T006T Dimension Texts T006I ISO codes for units of measurement T006J ISO Codes for Unit of Measure Texts 2011 SAP AG 3

Once you saved it will ask for variant, then create variant by selecting the fields as shown in the below Now we have maintained ZZVARIANT for the program RSIMPCUST. We need to add the same program in process chain to automate this process every time. The program RSIMPCUST has import parameters like below 1) Logical system 2) Currencies 3) Units of measurement 4) Fiscal year variants 5) Factory calendar 6) Analyze simulation 7) Update update tables 8) Synch rebuild tables. 2011 SAP AG 6
So we need to select the import parameters as variant. Include the program in process chain: Go to RSPC create process chain with start variant add process ABAP Program Please specify the program name and variant name which you have created ZZVARIENT and save Then activate and schedule the process chain. Check the job log once it is finished. To check the job log go to SM37 give job name or directly you can check the job from process chain by right click the batch monitor. - click on Spool 2011 SAP AG 7
