Use

Activate this flag to record as an asset any negative goodwill that is incurred during the consolidation of investments, and to reduce it periodically afterwards. For example, the negative goodwill could be cleared against appropriated retained earnings.

In the following Customizing screens for consolidation of investments, you will be able to make global or method-specific definitions for the reduction.

In addition to this field, you can choose the further options "direct elimination" and "amortization" for treating negative goodwill. When multiple options are chosen, you must define in the C/I method which option is to be valid for each method.
