Enter Shareholdings and Investments in Group Companies, Option 1

You can use this function to enter shareholdings and investments.

Select Company/Data Entry - Reported Values. Then select the value cell for an account intended for investments, for example, Investments in Subsidiaries or a movement account for Investments in Subsidiaries and click the Shareholdings and Investments button on the left-hand side toolbar.

Note: If you are working with a sub-unit connected to a legal unit defined as a parent company, you should use option 2, Group/Data Entry - Shareholdings and Investments in Group Companies.

For more information, see Enter Shareholdings and Investments in External Companies, Option 2 and Enter Shareholdings and Investments in Group Companies, Option 2.

One transaction is entered for each acquisition/sale. For each transaction you enter:

  • The code of the acquired company (the company name will be displayed automatically).
  • The transaction date.
  • The change of percentage of ownership and percentage of votes for the transaction.
  • The booked amount.
  • The optional share information.

Information on currency, accounts and dimensions is loaded automatically from the form from which the window is opened.

All amounts you enter for one parent company with transaction dates earlier than and including the current period will be summed up and included for the current period in the Data Entry - Reported Values window. The amounts will be displayed in the value cell from which you started.

Total Percentage Holding

Each transaction describes the change in the ownership relations including the change of percentages due to that transaction. In the company structure the fields for total voting, shareholding and minority percentage are updated once the company structure has been generated. These values can, however, be changed manually in the company structure.

For more information, see Ownership Relations.

Previous Period’s Investments

When you enter period values in the main form, the investments from previous periods will not be displayed automatically in the account. Select the value cell for the period for which you are entering values, click the Shareholdings and Investments button and click Save to load this value. You can also use the Company/Copy - Reported Values Between Periods menu to load these values.

If you use movements on an account for investments, for example, investments in subsidiaries, you need to collect transactions with dates earlier than the actual year separately. Select the value cell for opening balances, and click the Shareholdings and Investments button to the left of the toolbar. Then select one of the other movements to collect this year’s change in investments. You can also use the Company/Copy/Opening Balances for Reported Values menu option to enter the opening balance or you can use the Company/Copy/Reported Values Between Periods menu option to load the same values as the last period for both opening balance and changes.
