In the Buy Shares Equity Method panel, you can manually acquire a security when one or more accounting bases hold that security using the equity method of accounting. You can use this acquisitions type panel to buy shares for a position for a common stock or Joint Venture/Limited Liability/Partnership security for all accounting bases set up for the entity in Eagle Accounting. The panel allows you to specify a commitment, the cost for local/base amounts, and FX rates. You can indicate the encumbrance at the lot level and specify the ownership percentage, for use with STAT reporting. You can also view any share outstanding for the security,
