the Convert Positions Equity Method panel allows you to convert multiple accounting bases at a time for the position. 

This page assumes you are familiar with the entity and security level elections that have been made for processing a common stock or Joint Venture/Limited Liability/Partnership security when you use the equity method of accounting.

To manually convert a position to the equity method of accounting:

  1. In Accounting Center, in the left navigation pane, click Transactions > Equity Method Convert Positions Equity Method.
    You see the Convert Positions Equity Method panel.

  2. Under Entity Information, select the entity and accounting basis associated with the equity method of accounting where you are converting the position. 
    When you select an entity, you see a row for each of the entity's accounting bases. You must select an entity with at least one accounting basis with an Equity Method Treatment of Other or STAT assigned.

  3. Under Issue Information, enter the effective date and accounting date on which the

  1. conversion becomes effective, and select the security.

  2. Complete the remaining options on

...

  1. the panel.
    Different fields become available based on whether the basis uses the STAT or Other accounting treatment.

  2. Click Submit.
    The system submits an ECCONV event. 

After the conversion, the position is ready for processing using the new EMA/STAR accounting method selected going forward. You
