The contribution calculations method

IBM® Cognos Controller includes two pre-defined automatic journals: ECO1 and ECO2. These journal types make it possible for you to view the contribution from companies on the lowest level to the highest level. These automatic journals distribute indirect minorities (ECO1) and acquisition eliminations (ECO2) from the subgroups to companies on the lowest level. The ECO1 and ECO2 automatic journals are always based on the current values of the period you run. That is, there is for example no rolling forward of closing balance values to opening balances on these automatic journals. To use these automatic journals, you need to activate them and give them a journal number.
