CAR1 - Magnitude Exchange Rate
Description
CAR1 is the joining of the "un-cumulated" version of the Cumulated Monthly Mean (CMM - Also refered as "YTD Monthly Avg Rate") AND the PREV (Budget) rates from BFC.
For past months, CAR1 is the un-cumulated CMM and for the future months, it is the PREV rate.
When to use it
Must be used for Profit & Loss accounts (cumulated) and most of balance sheet movement flows.

Business Objects receives the Cumulated Monthly Mean rate (CMM) and the PREV (Budget) rates from BFC and calculates via a program the "un-cumulated" monthly rates and then sends it to BW via flat file.

CAR3 - Exchange Rate base on CAR1 ref. crcy EUR

As CAR1 can only be used to convert to EUR, CAR3 is set so that EUR is used as a "Pivot" currency.
