Example of an Ownership-Based Hierarchy with Divested Entities

In this example, an ownership-based hierarchy is divested of two entity members in 2015. The entity members remain part of the ownership-based hierarchy in the period 2015, but are excluded in the period 2016.

Activities

  1. You create an ownership-based hierarchy with the Parent Group member GROUP_WORLDWIDE, and assign the entity members to parent entities as follows:

    Parent entity members

    Child entity members

    AMERICA

    USA

    CANADA

    EUROPE

    UK

    FRANCE

    ASIA

    CHINA

    JAPAN

  2. You assign the following Consolidation Method, Percent Control, and the Percent Ownership to the entity members:

    Entity member

    Consolidation Method

    Percent Control

    Percent Ownership

    USA

    Full

    100 %

    100 %

    CANADA

    Full

    100 %

    100 %

    FRANCE

    Holding

    100 %

    100 %

    UK

    Equity

    20 %

    20 %

    CHINA

    Proportionate

    50 %

    50 %

    JAPAN

    Full

    100%

    60%

  3. For the period 2015.June, you assign the Consolidation Method, Percent Control, and Percent Ownership at the level of the Parent Group GROUP_WORLDWIDE (select the highest level parent in the left-hand hierarchy) as follows:

    Entity member

    Consolidation Method

    Percent Control

    Percent Ownership

    USA

    Full

    100 %

    100 %

    CANADA

    Full

    100 %

    100 %

    FRANCE

    Holding

    100 %

    100 %

    UK

    Full

    100 %

    100 %

    CHINA

    Full

    100 %

    100 %

    JAPAN

    Full

    100 %

    100 %

    Methods are defined for each group, at the level of the first immediate parent for each entity.

    The percentage values you assign to the first parent entity group are not inherited by the Parent Group by default. To do so, you must select the option Update Ownership Upwards in the toolbar while positioned on the parent entity group whose values you want the Parent Group to inherit.

  4. The UK and Japan entity members are divested following the period 2015.June. The UK and Japan entity members still appear in the ownership-based hierarchy for the period 2015.Dec. as follows:

    Entity member

    Consolidation Method

    Percent Control

    Percent Ownership

    USA

    Full

    100 %

    100 %

    CANADA

    Full

    FRANCE

    Holding

    100 %

    UK

    CHINA

    Full

    100 %

    100 %

    JAPAN

  5. For the period 2016.Dec., the divested entity members no longer appear in the ownership-based hierarchy. The members and percentage values are as follows:
