Set Up Securities for the Equity Method of Accounting

You can use the Equity Method of Accounting to track securities with a processing security type of Common Stock (EQCSCS) and/or Joint Venture/Limited Liability/Partnership (JVLCLP).

Set Up Common Stock Securities

You can use Reference Data Center (RDC) to create Common Stock securities. Otherwise, if you are an Eagle Accounting client that has not yet shifted from using Issue Viewer to RDC, you can use Issue Viewer's Equity/Mutual Fund panel to set up the security. No special security setup for the equity method is needed. The panel displays the Quantity Type as Shares.
