Help Document

Diagnosis

The parent indicator has not been set in any of the groups . This causes consolidation of investments to use erroneous group shares.

System Response

Procedure

Select the parent indicator for at least one characteristic with the role "consolidation unit". You can do this in the accounting technique definitions when you restrict the accounting technique to consolidation group .

Furthermore, make sure that the consolidation units flagged as parent units are valid in the current period. You can check this in the validities of the combinations and by examining the dates of first consolidation and divestiture accounting for the consolidation unit.

There also needs to be a second consolidation unit that is not flagged as a parent unit.

In combinations of consolidation groups it is sufficient to select the parent indicator in only one dimension. In this case, the system treats all combinations that contain parent units as parents.
