Help Document

Diagnosis

In the system utilization for consolidation of investments, you have activated the Partial Divestiture as Equity Transaction function. In this case, you must choose the No or Complete Reduction setting for the Goodwill in Divestitures field so that the system does not change the goodwill in partial divestitures and transfer postings.

System Response

If you choose the No or Complete Reduction setting, the consolidation of investments posts the value by which the goodwill would be proportionally reduced to the Net Income for Partial Divestitures appropriation item in partial divestitures and transfer postings on the balance sheet.

However, irrespective of the setting for Goodwill in Divestitures, the system always performs a proportional reduction of the goodwill in the following cases:

  • Equity method
