Equity types are JVA objects that are used to connect equity groups, which are set up on the joint operating agreement (JOA), to ownership of joint ventures (JV), which are also connected to the same JOA as the equity group, as of a particular point in time. Essentially the equity type hooks a start date for ownership to an equity group and a JV.

The equity type can also be used to identify the equity group that is responsible for the expenses incurred during a particular phase or stage in the life of a venture. It is possible to assign two equity groups, each with a different equity type, as owners of the same venture for the same period.

Example

A JVA company might maintain three different equity types, each of which represents a specific phase in the life of its joint ventures. For example, an equity type might be set up for the following phases: design, development, production. This would result in the following entries on the JV Equity Types screen:

ET    Description

ETD    Design

ETC    Construction

ETP    Production

As equity groups are assigned to ownership of JVs in JVA processing, the equity type that represents the appropriate phase of the JV would be selected to connect the equity group to the JV. In this way, the equity type could be used to denote the phase of the venture during which a particular equity group owned the JV.

Requirements

Standard settings

You must define at least one equity type for your JVA company. You may only need one equity type for your company.

Recommendation

Activities

Define a code for the equity type in the ET field and a description of the equity type in the appropriate field.

Further notes

JVs and equity types are assigned to the cost objects to which JV expenses are booked. The combination of the JV and the equity type identifies the responsible equity group. There may be more than one change of ownership over time (one equity group replacing another as ownership changes), but equity type remains intact even when different equity groups come into ownership of JVs.
