• Message number: 016

• Message text: Method settings adjusted to system utilization

What causes this issue?

The entry of data in the fields for
<DS:GLOS.3526B782AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>accounting technique</> and
<DS:GLOS.3526B7A1AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>goodwill / negative goodwill
</> depends on the settings in the system utilization for the
consolidation of investments.
After you defined the method, you changed the data for system
utilization so that it no longer conforms to the method definition.

System Response

For that reason, the accounting technique and the treatment of goodwill
/ negative goodwill is adjusted in the method in accordance with the
valid system utilization.
If, for example, goodwill is no longer amortized, but only directly
eliminated, then the system has now changed this setting in the method.
You can confirm these settings by saving.
