Foreign divisional consolidations can be foreign partnerships, controlled foreign corporations or 10/50 Companies (Binder Properties).

The legal entity configuration is also referred to as an “upper tier” divisional consolidation and is identified by:
When you create a foreign divisional consolidation binder, the International Data Completion Level indicator (also referred to as the "sourcing level") determines whether the system looks to the divisional consolidation's data entry screens or its member (division) binders during computes.
  • When the foreign divisional consolidation's International Data Completion Level is Division, the international calculations and comprehensive edits use the sourcing workpaper, interest apportionment and current year tax information in the member (division) binders. The consolidated amounts are reflected in the divisional consolidation binder's screens.
  • When the foreign divisional consolidation's International Data Completion Level is Divisional Consolidation, the international calculations and comprehensive edits use the sourcing workpaper, interest apportionment and current year tax information in the foreign divisional consolidation binder. Data in the member (division) binders gets ignored.
