Requests (such as requisitions and purchase orders) that fail to push to an ERP system are not converted to euro and revert back to a status of Composing. Your system administrator must investigate such requests, correct the problems, and rerun the applicable scheduled tasks to convert and push the data.

Upon successful completion of all pre-conversion tests, the system administrator repeats the process using production data instead of test data.

Ariba Buyer system administrators perform pre-conversion tests to ensure a smooth conversion from European Monetary Union (EMU) currencies to the euro. A system administrator might perform other steps (including error recovery and retest, and specific testing for purchase orders, PCard charges, Travel Authorizations, and so on).

System administrators perform these key tasks in the euro conversion process (see the process flow diagram for a detailed description of the process).

• Create configuration and test data in EMU currencies, which includes setting base and default currencies to EMU, setting EMU currency groups and end dates, disabling dual currency functionality, and creating representative data to use during conversion testing.
• Run, save, and print HTML and CSV versions of several reports for pre-conversion data verification, including (but not limited to): Requisition Summary, Requisition Detail, (Expense Reports) Receipts Not Received, Spending Analysis, Order Summary by Supplier, Order Summary by Cost Center, Catalog by Commodity Code.
• Run the CheckSystemCurrencies scheduled task to validate pre-conversion currency values.
• Apply the Euro configuration to Ariba Buyer by updating these files:
  • In Parameters.table: change Base Currency to EUR; change all Default Currency to EUR; set EnableEuroDualCurrencyDisplay and System.Reports.ShowCurrencyPrefixSuffixInCSV to true (optional).
  • In Common ScheduledTasks.table: add an entry for FixupSystemCurrencies.
  • In Partitioned ScheduledTasks.table: add entries for FixUpEMURequisition; FixUpEMUUsers; FixUpEMUCatalogEntry; FixUpEMUExpenseReports; FixUpEMUTravelAuthorizations.
• Refresh the common and partitioned scheduled tasks and verifies that they appear in Ariba Buyer Administrator.
• Restart the Ariba Buyer server to activate the new Parameters.table settings.
• Run the common scheduled task, followed by the partition-specific scheduled tasks.
• Verify:
  • Base and default currencies were converted according to the new Parameters.table settings.
  • In-process requisitions, expense reports, and other requests were converted (based on the new scheduled tasks).
  • Dual currencies display in Ariba Buyer (for specified fields).
  • Values converted from EMU to euro were performed according to European Commission (EC) regulations.
• Run the CheckSystemCurrencies scheduled task to validate converted currency values.
• Run, save, and print HTML and CSV versions of several reports for post-conversion data verification, including (but not limited to): Requisition Summary, Requisition Detail, (Expense Reports) Receipts Not Received, Spending Analysis, Order Summary by Supplier, Order Summary by Cost Center, Catalog by Commodity Code.
• Confirm that post conversion reports display dual currencies, and that converted totals are accurate.
• Update User.csv files to replace EMU with EUR.
