• Key Concepts: 
  Group share is a feature of the SAP EC-CS Consolidation component that allows users to assign a portion of the total value of a consolidated entity to a group of entities. This feature is useful for companies that have multiple subsidiaries or divisions that need to be consolidated into one financial statement. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the group share feature, users must first define the group of entities that will be assigned a portion of the total value. This can be done by creating a group in the consolidation system and assigning each entity to the group. Once the group is defined, users can assign a percentage of the total value to each entity in the group. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using the group share feature, it is important to ensure that all entities in the group are assigned an equal percentage of the total value. This will ensure that each entity is treated fairly and that the consolidated financial statement accurately reflects the contributions of each entity.
