Hello, all,
is it possible to set up a business rule to calculate the goodwill on group level in BPC consolidation without posting the interco in the capital of the subsidiary?
From a business point of view the goodwill is calculated from the value of the account Investments in subsidiaries, JV and associates of the holding company plus the values of the equity accounts of the subsidiaries.
As far as I understand the posting logic of the business rules “Eliminations and adjustments” it is necessary to post the capital of the subsidiary with an interco so that it can be eliminated.
From a business point of point this is an issue because usually the capital of a subsidiary do not know its holding.
I would expect that the system eliminates the investments of the holding against equity of the subsidiary based on the information of the ownership manager.
Is there another way of calculation the goodwill if you cannot provided the interco information for the partner?
Thanks in advance, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and best regards
