How to Modify NetSuite OneWorld Subsidiary Hierarchies
Steps to create new subsidiaries and adjust their hierarchy in NetSuite.
Short answer
To modify your NetSuite OneWorld subsidiary hierarchy, create the new subsidiary and enter all necessary information. Edit the child subsidiary to assign its new parent, moving it to the desired level. After testing, enable the 'Allow Subsidiary Hierarchy to be Modified' preference in General Preferences for production deployment.
Scenario
Organizations using NetSuite OneWorld may need to adjust their subsidiary structure, such as adding new subsidiaries or repositioning existing ones within the hierarchy. This often involves moving a subsidiary to a different parent or a lower level to reflect organizational changes.
Solution
To modify the subsidiary hierarchy in NetSuite OneWorld, follow these steps:
Create the new subsidiary, ensuring all necessary information from the top-level subsidiary is accurately entered.
Edit the child subsidiary to change its parent, thereby moving it to the desired lower level in the hierarchy.
After modifying the hierarchy, thoroughly test all major reports to ensure data integrity and accurate reporting.
Obtain client approval before proceeding to production.
To apply these changes in a production environment, an administrator can enable the 'Allow Subsidiary Hierarchy to be Modified' feature in General Preferences. Once enabled, the same steps should be followed in the production environment.
