New to NetSuite | Setting Up Subsidiary-Specific Transaction Auto-Numbering

edited Nov 18, 2025 4:52PM in Advanced Accounting & OneWorld

For NetSuite users with multiple subsidiaries, setting up subsidiary-specific auto-numbering helps keep records organized and avoid numbering conflicts. Each subsidiary can have its own sequence, improving clarity and compliance. This article shows how to configure it in NetSuite.

To set up or update auto-numbering for a subsidiary:

1. Navigate to Setup > Company > Subsidiaries.

2. Click Edit next to the desired subsidiary record.

3. Enter the desired prefix in the Document Number Prefix field.

Note: If using auto-generated numbering by subsidiary for certain transactions, go to the Document Numbers subtab to set the starting number for each transaction type.

4. Click Save.

Subsidiary-specific auto-numbering in NetSuite helps maintain clean, compliant records across entities. A simple setup can prevent conflicts and support accurate reporting.
