Message Text

Debit/credit sign of values does not agree with the goodwill definition

Help Document

Diagnosis

You have entered a negative book value as goodwill or a positive book value as negative goodwill; or you have manually changed an automatically-created goodwill entry.

This has the following effects:

• The amortization for the value entered occurs on the basis of the definition of goodwill (as positive or negative goodwill)
• The effect on actual goodwill is based on the exact opposite of the goodwill definition.

In certain situations, it can be useful to have such a setting - for example when you want to manually clear the amortization that was computed by the system.

System Response

Procedure

Check whether there is a particular reason for the variance between the goodwill definition and the debit/credit signs.

If necessary, change the setting.
