According to the SAP Certified Application Associate - SAP S/4HANA Finance for Group Reporting Associates (SAP S/4HANA 2021) certification exam1, the ownership chains that are supported in the equity pickup solution are:

Vertical: A vertical ownership chain is a direct or indirect ownership relationship between two units in the same consolidation group. For example, if unit A owns 80% of unit B, and unit B owns 60% of unit C, then there is a vertical ownership chain from A to C.

Horizontal: A horizontal ownership chain is an ownership relationship between two units that are not in the same consolidation group, but have a common parent unit. For example, if unit A owns 80% of unit B and 70% of unit C, then there is a horizontal ownership chain between B and C.
