Use

In this step, you can determine which goodwill treatment (that is, the valuation allowance procedure) is to be used to post goodwill or negative goodwill incurred in an acquisition (except first consolidation):

  • Direct acquisition (entry "Step Acquisition"): step acquisition, increase in capitalization, reduction in capitalization
  • Increase in indirect investment

When you specify a goodwill treatment in this step, this setting overrides the goodwill treatment set in the consolidation of investments method; this means that the goodwill incurred in the acquisition is posted using the goodwill treatment defined in this step, regardless of the setting in the consolidation of investments method.

If you specify a goodwill treatment for all entries in this step, the goodwill treatment in the consolidation of investments method is only relevant to the first consolidation activity.

Requirements

For the treatment of goodwill or negative goodwill, you can specify only those values that are activated in system utilization for consolidation of investments.

Standard settings

Activities
