Minority Interest Ownership Percentage

Formula Scope

The formula scope identifies the source and target accounts for the formula.

Source

You can restrict source values by dimension. You can specify valid values from a list of 
all possible values or from a hierarchy. Each account that meets the source requirements
is used in the calculation.

Target

You specify the dimension values of the account to which the consolidation entry is 
written. For each dimension, the user specifies a specific value, otherwise the system 
uses the same value as the source account.

Offset

You can specify an offset account if you did not specify the same as source option for 
any target values. If you specify an offset account, then an offset balance is written to 
the offset account to balance any consolidation entries created by the rule step.

Balancing a Consolidation Rule

Each consolidation rule is checked to see if it produces balanced entries. You can design
consolidation entries to balance or optionally use the offset functionality to 
automatically balance the consolidation rule for you. If the consolidation rule is not 
balanced, Financial Consolidation Hub uses the suspense handling defined for the 
applicable consolidation hierarchy.
