OneWorld implementations should ALWAYS be done with a One World Certified Netsuite Partner, or Netsuite Profesionnal Services. I didn't think NS actually sold OW to you unless you had a Partner or PS with you, in fact. There are many small differences to regular instances that can cause big problems if you don't have a…

You cannot create a parent-child association on Vendors... I agree you can't setup vendors like customers, but here is what you can do: Add a custom vendor field: Parent Vendor Then you can create a sublist of vendors for the parent. This will at least show you all of the child vendors on the parent vendor record. I'm not…

It's hard to offer advise without knowing a lot more about your organization, and exactly how you would like to mange your two companies. However, I'll give it a shot. ;) You would have the most flexibility and capability by upgrading to the NetSuite OneWorld multiple subsidiary version. You could choose to model the two…

You can assign an account to more than one subsidiary. This should solve your problem.

Thanks NetSuite for classifying this as the defect that it is: Defect 154873 - One World: Transactions > Purchases/ vendors > Pay Bills: Subsidiary field is showing Null

To piggy-back on Chris, renumbering/renaming is a possibility, but be very careful with this and ensure you are keeping the proper account properties. I've seen enough companies do just that, but don't take into account the original account properties and the result can be accounts showing in weird and improper places on…

I'm assuming some things here, but I bet your Petty Cash account is of type 'Bank.' Bank and Credit Card accounts are limited to exactly one subsidiary. . Chris, Thanks for correcting this. I forgot about the liimtation on Bank & Credit Card accounts.

We are in the middle of migrating data from NetSuite 2008 to OneWorld, and have resorted to hiring 15 people to MANUALLY copy all of our data and transactions from the old NetSuite to the new NetSuite. Why? There are two methods (templates/smbxml and GUI Import) that NetSuite gave us for what they promised would be an…

It's coming in 2009.1. (planned for, I should say) Thanks, Darren I hope this is not going to be a trend where OneWorld is always one cycle behind the Standard NetSuite.

Case Number: 791333

If you cannot turn this feature off, try to just hide the tax schedule field on the item entry form. You should be able to save an item successfully without this field on the form. HTH. Thanks Mark. That worked like a charm. :)

As long as the transaction you post is a Journal Entry, you could certainly use an elimination subsidiary for that. I am somewhat reluctant to recommend that use. What exactly is a 'sale' within a single subsidiary? The buyer and seller are the same, and it would be inappropriate to recognize any revenue or profit on such…

Thanks again Chris. This is very helpful.

Thanks Mark.

When we moved to Netsuite, we consolidated all historical transaction amounts into yearly totals for each customer. Mark, would you mind providing the specifics of how you did this? IOW, did you enter one Invoice for each customer for each year (dated 1/1/YY) with a dummy item, or something else? How did you deal with the…

The reason why this is an issue for us (and might be an issue for you) is because we have been using NetSuite 2007.1 for about a year or more, and have just bought NS Oneworld. NS is only offering to transfer our OPEN transactions. They will leave closed/historical data on the old servers and then when the switch is…

In this case, each "Location" represents a different "Division" of the same Sub. Division A manufactures and sells some of it's Finished Goods (FG) to Division B, who uses it as Raw Material (RM) in the manufacture of some of Division B's FGs, which are then sold to external customers.. Chris, Thanks again for your help…

This same problem applies to the Chart of Accounts list as well. Only the basic fields are exposed in an "Accounts" search, and on the List > Accounting > Accounts list. This is a major problem with a complex OneWorld account. The only way to verify the correct settings for Subsidiary, Location, and Department restrictions…

The Subsidiary field should be available on location, class and department records. I've confirmed that it's missing in my test account as well. Thanks, Darren Darren, Customer support has turned this into an ER: Thank you for contacting NetSuite Customer Support. At this time, the feature you are requesting is not…

Just an update. Netsuite Support have decided to change ER 164491 into a defect (with the same number).:) However it's been set at S3 priority level (S3 = No target - workaround available)..... I think this should be a "S2". There is NO workaround available. By NetSuite's own definition, "no workaround" means at least an…

I am a little uncertain how things will work out when one subsidiary wants a custom field that the others don't need, or etc, but I haven't asked them about this kind of issue yet - still reading~ ottoatm, The behavior of custom fields and forms does not change with OneWorld (now the official name). If you have a field not…

This product, I'll call it SIC for now, is about running a global business (multi-currency, multi-tax, multi-language, multi-country), but it's also about consolidation. Your structure has to roll up to a single parent entity, albeit it could be a dummy Subsidiary if needed. Darren Darren, Well, it is just as…

Since SIC implys that its a consolidation process - which I hope it isnt. and subsiduary management implies that they are linked to a parent company as subsiduaries... which is not necessarily true since you can also have sister companies versus subs. make sense ?. Ray, I may be wrong here, but my reading of the Release…

they are ?. best news I have heard all day. I'm just guessing Ray, based on Darren's response to you in the other thread, and the naming of this forum. Clearly, NetSuite needs to weigh in on this before anyone runs with a different name other than what is on the Sneak Peek docs and Help system. I apologize if I misled you.

I haven't done this, but one possible approach is to create a custom transaction column field "Task" and enter the Task along with the Customer/Project in each line of a PO. When you create the custom "Task" field set it up as [LIST] [*]Type: List/Record [*]Record Type: Project Task [*]Applies to: Purchase Item [/LIST]Then…

I have read about time and materials project type. Seems to be what we need. Created a project, added a resource, marked it as time and materials. But, can´t see or find out how to assign a PO or material to that project. Can anyone please help? Thanks¡ RC If you do a search on the User Group forums you should find another…

My question - is there a way to display the opportunity number somewhere within the Project? You might try creating a custom field on the Project record to record the Opportunity, with the following settings: [LIST] [*]Type: List/Record [*]List/Record: Opportunity [*]Record is Parent: Yes (checked) [*]Applies to: Project…

One possible approach is to create a custom field for Project Manager on the Project record. If you still need the PM as a resource you could either manually maintain both, or write a simple script to set the custom field when the resource is added/changed. HTH.

Thanks for that Solution, also I created the following script: . . . I tried it and it works. Can you tell me which way is better, (faster, less load...)?? One consideration is that the email alert is easier to maintain, and can easily provide flexibility like adding additional people to receive the alert, even using…

Hi JMU, You are right, NS alerts is faster. But via script, The sender will be the task assignee Which is better to receive the email from NetSuite Alerts [automailer@netsuite.com] that will confuse the task creator We have handled this by doing the following: [LIST=1] [*]Create a custom CRM field "Last Update By" [*]Set…
