How you customize consolidation of investments depends on which functions of the sub-component Consolidation of Investments (C/I) you want to use.
In this step you specify which functions are used in the consolidation of investments. After this step, you will be prompted with the steps and configuration options that are useful for the settings you make here.
Standard settings
C/I utilization is already predefined in the standard R/3 system and can be modified if necessary. The accounting techniques Purchase Method, Equity Method, Proportional Consolidation and Mutual Stock Method are selected.
Activities
Determine which functions you want to use within the consolidation of investments. Proceed as follows:
- Choose the accounting technique to be used for including one or more consolidation units in the consolidation of investments.
- Determine whether you need to generate equity aging reports or post appropriation of retained earnings during consolidation of investments.
- In 'Further settings' choose whether and how to treat hidden reserves/contingencies (fair value adjustments), goodwill, negative goodwill and negative stockholders' equity.
The treatment of goodwill and negative goodwill offers several fields. When defining the methods for the consolidation of investments, specify which treatment of goodwill or negative goodwill is to apply to each method.
- For each of the functions chosen above, determine how Customizing is to treat the hidden reserves or contingencies, goodwill, negative goodwill and negative stockholders' equity.
The following options are available:
- Global
- Choose this option if the same settings apply to all consolidation units. If so, make the settings in step Make global settings.
- With exceptions
- Choose this option if the same settings basically apply to all consolidation units with only very few exceptions for individual consolidation units.
- In this case, first make the global settings (see above). Then you can make any additional settings for the methods in step Define methods. Use the assignment of the methods to the consolidation units to determine which consolidation units these exceptions apply to.
- The global settings always apply unless an exception at the method level exists.
- By method
- Choose this option if the settings are always made at the method level. Use the assignment of the methods to the consolidation units to determine which settings apply to the various units.
Further notes
In this step, you can also check the consistency of the Customizing settings for consolidation of investments. To do this, choose the function Customizing Check after you have made your settings. The system displays a list of inconsistencies and/or missing settings.
