The non-controlling shareholders' share of the subsidiaries' equity must be presented in the consolidated statement. The non-controlling interest (NCI) entries are generated automatically based on input unit level (dimension 0) data for document series type 1. The document series type 1 data may be entered manually, generated by ACA or ACE calculations, or generated due to a dependency to type 2 document series. Document series type for automatic entries is 3.

The default document series for the NCI entries is 30000 (30001-30999). For NCI entries to be generated, define the following settings:

•Add the automatic NCI entry definitions using the Non-Controlling Interest (NCI) custom template.

•Set a document series dependency between type 1 and type 3 document series (for example, 10000 and 30000) using the Document Series custom template.

•Add the Consolidation percentage and Counter unit for consolidation entries settings for the periodical fields of dimension.

Note! The NCI entries are automatically created if the consolidation percentage for the unit is not set or is zero. The calculation is done as if the percentage was 100.

The automatic NCI entries are shown on the following templates:

•Reports

•Drill down templates

•"Retrieve from data" type input templates for type 3 document series which have an input type setting for a definition column. The entry rows are locked.

Automatic NCI entries are created in unit and group currency. Their input type is 3, and the default comment in the template has the following format: NCI_Rule_ID: Source_Account_ID -> Target_Account_ID. For example: NCI00001: 231000P -> 995000P.

It is also possible to enter data manually to type 3 document series. This may be necessary when the automatic entries do not fulfill all the reporting needs of the unit, for example, if a subsidiary is sold or if its consolidation method is changed to the equity method. The type 3 document series input template is similar to the type 2 document series template.
