Use

Select this indicator to capitalize goodwill that is incurred during the consolidation of investments, and to perform ordinary amortization afterwards.

Dependencies

In the following Customizing screens for consolidation of investments, you will be able to make global or method-specific definitions as to the method of amortization and the financial statement items to be used.

In addition to the option of ordinary amortization, you can choose "extraordinary amortization", "periodic reduction", and "direct elimination" for treating goodwill. When multiple options are chosen, you must define in the C/I method which option is to be valid for each method.
