How to Display Local Subsidiary Amounts in NetSuite Consolidated Reports?
Understand how to configure NetSuite reports and searches to accurately reflect transaction amounts in their original subsidiary currency.
Short answer
To display the local subsidiary amount of a transaction in NetSuite, the 'Foreign Amount' field can be utilized. In consolidated reports, this typically requires explicit customization to include the field, as reports often default to the parent subsidiary's base currency. For saved searches, specific configurations may be necessary to ensure accurate display of the original transaction currency.
Scenario
Organizations operating with multiple subsidiaries and currencies often need to view transaction amounts in the local subsidiary's currency, even when generating consolidated financial reports. The challenge arises in identifying the correct field or configuration to accurately display these local amounts, rather than the parent subsidiary's base currency equivalent.
Solution
To retrieve and display the local subsidiary amount of a transaction, the 'Foreign Amount' field in NetSuite is the relevant option.When working with consolidated reports:1. Access the desired consolidated report.2. Customize the report to explicitly include the 'Foreign Amount' field. Consolidated reports typically default to displaying amounts in the parent subsidiary's base currency, so direct inclusion of 'Foreign Amount' is necessary to show the local subsidiary amount or the original transaction currency.For saved searches, particularly in complex multi-currency and multi-subsidiary environments:1. Add the 'Foreign Amount' field to the search results.2. Be aware that the behavior of this field can be nuanced. Depending on the specific search criteria and currency translation settings, additional formulas or configurations may be required to accurately display the original transaction currency amount.
