Dividends Elimination - Group Reporting - Public Cloud

[Otro]

Dear team,

I wanted to see if any of the experts could help me regarding the elimination of interim dividends from the current result that my client is asking me in group reporting.

First of all I wanted to tell you that I am working on a SAP Public Cloud system and we are using the Consolidation of Investments (Rule-Based).

In this case and to simplify I wanted to tell you the following:

Company B (subsidiary) distributes dividends to company A (parent company of the group).

These dividends are distributed on account of the current year (current year).

The issue is that I see that through the task 2031- Dividends Elimination the income received in the company A (parent company) (the one that receives the dividend) is eliminated but I do not see that this task eliminates the entry in the company B (subsidiary) and I would need your help on how I could do so that this elimination is also carried out in the subsidiary company (B).

I would be very grateful for your help

Regards

Hello, 
Our product expert offers the following answer: 

Our standard content eliminates dividends at owner company only (company that received the dividend) because in the standard case, the dividend is distributed on the result of the previous fiscal year.

The specific case of the distribution of dividends on the results of the current fiscal year is not fully managed, and you need to update the standard content or to post manual journal entries.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Mareike
