FIN_ACC_GC_ASTHFS: Equity Method (Changed)

Use

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0 (SEM-BW 605), you can carry goodwill in the local currency of the investee unit when using the equity method. You can also perform the equity method with group shares.

Goodwill in Local Currency

When you use this function, the system treats the goodwill as follows:

  • The system manages the goodwill for an equity-method investee unit in the goodwill ODS in the same way it does for purchase method units.
  • The system posts the goodwill for the parent unit in group currency only.
  • The system also posts currency translation differences for equity-method investee units to both goodwill ODS and the documents for the Goodwill consolidation of investments activity.

Equity Method with Group Shares

Until now, you could only perform the investment adjustment for the equity method with direct shares of direct investors of the equity-method investee unit. The system explicitly reports minority interest based on the group shares of the investors. If you perform the equity method with group shares, the system adjusts investments for the investors based specifically on their group shares. The system does not explicitly report minority interest in this case.

Goodwill in Local Currency

When you previously selected the equity method accounting technique in the Customizing settings for a consolidation of investments method, the Carry Goodwill in Local Currency checkbox was not ready for input. If you activate the FIN_ACC_GC_ASTHFS business function, you can activate this checkbox. However, in this case, you still cannot post the goodwill on the investee unit.

Equity Method with Group Shares

The system performs the equity method with direct shares by default. In Customizing for consolidation of investment methods, you can specify that the system is to perform the equity method with group shares instead.
