Step acquisition in the middle of the period.

[Former Member]

Dear SAP Gurus,

We have a scenario here for step acquisition happening in the middle of the period.

We want the profits earned upto the period of acquisition to be considered for step acquisition and profits earned post acquisition to be considered for subsequent consolidation.

TB with cumulative balances are loaded into system at the end of every period.

For example

Company 2100 is subsidiary of company 1000. Step acquisition was done by 1000 in 2100 on 15th of period 12.2009

TB with YTD figures are loaded for Company 2100 for the period 012.2009.

How to take care of this scenario considering the fact that profits earned upto 15th of period 12.2009 to be considered as part of the equity for Good will computation and profits earned post 15th of period 12.2009 to be considered for subsequent consolidation.

Pl reply ASAP with solutions or hints as this is holding our closure.

Regards

Shivaprasad

This scenario has been discussed in other threads in this forum and the only solution offered is adjusting journal entries to account for the mid-period acquisition. Cons of Investments will only use the entire period for the automatic entries.
