Definition

If you select this checkbox, you enable the adjustment of minority interests in retained earnings without affecting net income in subsequent consolidation and partial divestiture.

Use

If the Partial Divestiture as Equity Transaction is active, the system adjusts the group value of the reported retained earnings in subsequent consolidations, partial divestitures, and transfers, depending on the other setting Minority Interest in Retained Earnings, as follows:

  • As Attribution (to the Minority Interest income statement item)
  • As Appropriation of Retained Earnings (to the balance sheet items Transfers to Minority Interest in Retained Earnings or Net Income - Partial Divestiture)
  • As Attribution from Reported Equity Data:
    • In the Subsequent Consolidation activity, to the Minority Interest income statement item)
    • In partial divestiture and transfers, to the balance sheet item Net Income - Partial Divestiture

Dependencies

If you activate the Partial Divestiture as Equity Transaction function, you should select the setting No or Complete Reduction in the global settings of consolidation of investments for Goodwill Reduction in Divestitures and Transfers. Then the system does not modify the goodwill during partial divestitures and transfers. Instead, consolidation of investments posts the value, by which the goodwill was proportionately reduced, to the item for appropriation of retained earnings Net Income - Partial Divestiture in the balance sheet.
