Minorities on subgroups (ECO1)

The minority on the subgroup is calculated based on the control table for minority (E700). The control table defines the accounts that should be the base for the minority calculation (the From Accounts) and on which accounts the calculated minority should be booked (the To Accounts).

When calculating the contribution to the top level, the From Accounts in this control table are used as the key for the distribution of the minority. The control table for minority (E700) is used in a reversed way compared to when calculating minority. The minority booked on the To Accounts of the subgroup is distributed to the From Accounts of the underlying companies, that were the base for the minority calculation.

Accounts from the General configuration, the Reconcile 2 tab, and the Control table E300, are also used for the calculation.

The distribution key is calculated as the part each company and account has of the total on each account. It is calculated in all currencies. No currency translation is carried out on the ECO1 control table. To summarize, the distribution key is based on company, account, extended dimension, manual journal type, and currency.

The booking is made on automatic journal type 81. The transactions are stored with information about distribution key and original company, that is, information about from which company the distribution is performed.
