Legal Company Structures

In a legal company structure the legal unit represents a legal company. The sub-units represent parts of the legal company, like business units or geographical areas.

Period data is entered on sub-units and consolidated into the legal unit, where the legal unit has period values representing the legal company. The sub-units are parts of the legal company not owned by any other party, and therefore no investment eliminations are made on them. The investments are stored on sub-units, not on legal units. The investment eliminations are included in the consolidation process of parallel consolidation types, where legal units normally are not included.
