Matching Activity Numbers

Use

When additional financial data is entered separately for investment data and investee equity data, the two types of data end up with different activity numbers even though they belong to the same activity.

You should match activity numbers in the following cases:

  • If both of the following conditions are given when entering investment and investee equity data:

    • The activity involved is first consolidation, increase in capitalization, or reduction in capitalization.

    • Multiple activity numbers exist for an activity with a given combination of year/period/activity/investee unit.

  • If both of the following conditions are given when entering investee equity and equity holdings adjustment data:

    • The activity involved is subsequent consolidation.

    • Multiple activity numbers exist for an activity with a given combination of year/period/activity/consolidation unit.

Prerequisites

In the data basis , you have (or the system has) created the InfoProvider for investment data and equity data or for equity data and equity holdings adjustments.
