Definition

Use

Select this indicator if you want to perform extraordinary amortization of negative goodwill in consolidation of investments.

Extraordinary amortization may be necessary after you manually test the goodwill for impairment and you discover that the fair value is less than the book value.

Dependencies

In the following customizing screens for consolidation of investments, you can make global or method-specific definitions for the amortization procedure and items to be posted.

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