Report Results of the Purchase Method

Good job Robert!

Now that you have run task 2100 and validated the log entries, we can review the results in a report.

In the following image, the key results are displayed.

Note

When you run task 2100, posting level 30 postings are generated.

Note

FC = First Consolidation, SC = Subsequent Consolidation, MJE = Manual Journal Entry.

  1. FC: Eliminate the parent’s Investment with an offset to owner consolidation units in posting level 30 (150.000).
  2. MJE: Post the subsidiary’s goodwill in posting level 10 (67.703).
  3. FC: Eliminate the subsidiary’s capital in posting level 30 (68.090).
  4. FC: Debit the subsidiary’s prior years retained earnings in posting level 30 (109.342,50).
