Investment , equity data

[Former Member]

Does all intercompany investment, equity data in ECC has to be captured with trading partner field to execute the COI function in BCS?

Suppose it is not captured with trading partner field, what are the alternative options.

You'll want to populate the investee field on the Investment in Subs account. If you can't supply it from the GL, you could always topside it w/ a PL10 before performing the first consolidation task.

Hi Chris,

I did not quite understand it.

How to simply topside in BCS at level 10 for Equity data?

Do you mean reverse the ECC entry and enter it manually?

Exactly...if you have:

PL00 CompA   InvInSubs   InvesteeBlank    DR 100

just book

PL10 CompA   InvInSubs   InvesteeBlank    CR 100
PL10 CompA   InvInSubs   InvesteeB        DR 100

The CoI will consider PL00 --> 20 as long as you check off the manual doc types in the Location of Values portion of the CoI Settings in the WB.

EDIT: Just to be clear, when you say "Equity Data in ECC" I assume you are talking about reported data from the GL (PL00). Not to be confused with Equity Data and Investment Data in the BCS Additional Financial Data (if you're using AFD).
