Group structure maintenance used to mean keying in ownership percentages by hand.

Group Reporting 2608 is generally available. Ownership-driven group structure management reads share data directly, calculates consolidation percentage and group share, and flags divestitures for review.

Why this matters if you own group close:

1. Ownership changes apply across every related group at once.
2. 72 prebuilt rules now cover investment consolidation.
3. Divestitures surface before close, not after.

Ask your consolidation lead what 2608 would catch automatically this cycle.

If this kind of release decoding is useful, follow along.
