Questions and Answers

1. What is the Purpose of Equitization?

2. How many journals should be created?

3. For minority interest in Equitization, does each owner have to be using the same detail in their journals?

4. Why are ownership sets and ledger sets only under consolidation?

5. We use multiple GL accounts for Investment in Subsidiary. That is, the Investment-in-Sub account could have a separate asset account number for each sub under each parent. So if a parent has 3 subs, it could have 3 different GL accounts for Investment in Sub. Can this be accommodated by using a different equitization rule for each subsidiary / account where each rule has its own CF Value set and the BU is part of the CF Value Set, and putting all the rules into a single group?

6. Our subsidiary ownership percentages are constantly changing. How can we setup equitization to properly calculate the required equitization journals based on the ownership percentage by period?

7. What isn't period 0 picked up by equitization?

8. Equtization always uses year to date and then requires a reversal into the following month. We would like to select to have equitization calculate by period instead and not generate a reversal. How can we set this up?

9. Can elimination business units be used as a parent or subsidiary business unit for equitization purposes?

10. GLPQEQTZ fails with error of 'INITIATED' or 'PROCESSING' but no longer running when transaction inlcudes multiple currencies. In looking closer at the trace we see: failed with attempt to divide by zero.

11. My new subsidiary gets picked up, but the equitization elimination gets booked to a different elimination business unit than I expected it to be booked to. How does the system know where to book the journal entry?

12. Can we exclude affiliate from journals generated for the target output for investment / investment offset?
