• Message number: 358

• Message text: Investee unit &1: Neg. shareholders' equity not automatically supported

What causes this issue?

You have assigned consolidation of investments method &V3& to investee
unit &V1& in consolidation group &V2&. In consolidation of investments
method &V3&, you have configured that acquisitions are calculated with
direct shares.
If you have activated the <LS>No Minority Interest</> function in the
settings for for negative stockholders' equity (globally or in the
consolidation of investments method), the system suppresses in the
purchase method the reporting of minority interests on equity for those
items for which the cumulative value of the reported equity is negative.
If the cumulative value becomes positive again due to further data
reporting, the system adjusts the minority interest so that the
cumulative value corresponds to the current group share.
The adjustment of the minority interest to the current group share only
makes sense if acquisitions are calculated with group shares.

System Response

The system prevents execution of the <LS>Minority Interest for Equity</>
by issuing an error message.
During execution of automatic consolidation of investments, the system
runs the special logic for negative shareholders' equity for investee
units consolidated with the purcahse method only in the <LS>Subsequent
Consolidation</> activity.
