Entering Investment Data 

Prerequisites

The prerequisites are listed in the section Manual Entry of Additional Financial Data.

Procedure

...

      1.      Launch the consolidation monitor.

      2.      Execute (in update mode) the task for entering additional financial data either for one consolidation unit or one consolidation group.

      3.      In the data entry overview screen, choose which additional financial data you want to enter (in this case, investment data) by choosing the corresponding execution symbol.

You see a navigation screen that lists all consolidation units for which you can enter investment data.

      4.      You can either change investment data for existing activities, or enter investment data for a new activity.

...

                        a.     To change investment data for an existing activity, choose the activity for the desired consolidation unit (or combination of consolidation units).

                        b.     To create a new activity, right-click a consolidation unit (or combination of consolidation units) and choose Create Activity in the context menu. Then select the type of activity (for example, first consolidation).

The Additional Fin. Data: Investment screen appears.

      5.      Enter the required data for the investee unit on the Additional Fin. Data: Investment screen.

If you have activated goodwill in local currency in the consolidation area settings, you also need to specify the investment book value in local currency.

If you have activated organizational change in the consolidation area settings, and you are entering a partial or total transfer, you can activate logic for organizational changes in this activity by selecting the Organizational Change indicator. You can specify the location of the sender data by also specifying an organizational change number. (See the section Organizational Change Number.)

To enter details for a consolidation unit, either double-click the consolidation unit on the Overview tab page, or select the consolidation unit and choose the Details tab page.

      6.      You can enter a comment for the investment data on the Comment tab page.

      7.      Save the data.

      8.      Repeat the same procedure for other consolidation units.

When you enter investment data and equity data separately, the system assigns different activity numbers for each type of data. After data entry, you need to run Matching of Activity Numbers.

As an alternative, you can enter investment and equity data in combined entry. Combined entry automatically assigns a single activity number for each pair of investment and equity data records.
