Guidance on Handling Cross-Subsidiary Expenses in NetSuite
Hi Team,
We have a scenario involving Parent Subsidiary A and its child Subsidiary B. Employee ABC is legally employed under Subsidiary A for payroll purposes. However, at times, this employee incurs expenses on behalf of Subsidiary B (and in this case the customer is not known but only conducting services to the subsidiary itself).
Currently, Subsidiary A reimburses the employee, but from an expense ownership perspective, these costs should correctly be attributed to Subsidiary B.
Could you please advise on the best practices for handling this in NetSuite under the following scenarios:
- When no A/R or A/P transactions are expected to be generated.
