Quick Add & Default Subsidiary

edited Nov 28, 2019 11:51AM in Accounting / ERP 1 comment

SUMMARY:   Quick Add unusable for us because records created via quick add default to the top-level subsidiary - even if the person/role creating it has no access to that subsidiary.

Quick Add (e.g., Lead) seems to create a record attached to the top-level subsidiary, even if the user creating it is not attached to that subsidiary and has no access to that subsidiary via the role the user was using.

As a result, the user cannot access the record that s/he has just created  (Permission violation: The restrictions on your role deny you access to this record)  Note that NetSuite's notice was totally unhelpful identifying the cause, so as a result I ended up spending hours trying to track down permissions, trying to figure out if it was related to sales role = yes, and playing with the "Do Not Restrict Employee Fields" and "Allow Cross-Subsidiary Record Viewing" settings -- only to find out that it was a subsidiary issue.

Howdy, Stranger!
