Reviewing Equitization Example
In this example, Company M0004 owns 70% of company M0002. In January of 2003, M0002 had a net income of 100 in period 1. An equitization rule is set up to select expense and revenue accounts as the equitization source, and investment and equity income as the target (debit and credit, respectively). The Equitization process creates journals to book 70 to the M0004 ledger investment account and −70 to its equity income account, as indicated by the entries in this table:

Viewing an Example of Multiple Parent/Subsidiary Ownership
If, in addition to the M0002 to M0004 relationship, F0001 owns 20% of M0002 and 60% of M0004, the equity income from subsidiaries for F0001 is 200, with 20 from M0002 and 180 from M0004, as indicated by the b entries:

The Equitization process determines the correct sequence to process. It equitizes from M0002 to M0004 and F0001 first, and then M0004 to F0001, so that the 70 from the first step is included as part of the net income in the second.
Creating Elimination and Minority Interest Entries
An option of the Equitization process enables you to generate elimination and minority interest entries as by-products. If specified, the Equitization process creates the elimination entries that reverse target amounts. As in the Consolidations process, these entries go to the proper elimination business units in the consolidation tree and are used in consolidated reporting. In the following example, elimination entries are generated for elimination business unit ME001:
| Elimination Entries | M0002 | M0004 | ME001 |

If year-to-date elimination for investment is handled in the Equitization process, the Consolidations process should not generate eliminations again.
Offsetting the Source
This option creates entries to offset the equitized source amount for subsidiary entities. It may be useful for special reporting purposes:
