formulas for capital adjustments

[Former Member]

Hi All

Right now I'm facing with the following task and I'm counting on your opinion.

One of the topic is Capital adjustments for example elimination of investments in subsidiaries, elimination of share capital etc. Client provided us formulas in order to eliminate such oparations.

My question is what is the best way to implement such formulas for capital adjustments. Is it possible to use business rules? I heard that script logic is not recomended for this purpose.

Please share your opinion.

Regards!

Hi Justyna,

Yes, business rules are the best approach for this. They are flexible, easy to maintain, are mostly quicker than logic, and can actually do some things logic (usually in NW) cannot do.

For investment elims and equity elims you will need to use the Automatic Adjustments business rule tables. In doing so you should aim to separate these adjustments from "Input" data into different data sources to differentiate the postings.
