How to Assign Multiple Subsidiaries to a Single Location in NetSuite OneWorld?
Understand how NetSuite OneWorld accounts handle location-subsidiary relationships, especially when advanced inventory features are not active.
Short answer
In NetSuite OneWorld, the default behavior for locations is a one-to-one relationship with subsidiaries. However, it is possible to assign multiple subsidiaries to a single location if the 'Inventory' feature, specifically 'Multi-Location Inventory,' is not enabled. This configuration allows for greater flexibility in specific operational setups.
Scenario
NetSuite OneWorld accounts typically enforce a one-to-one relationship between a location and a subsidiary. Users may encounter situations where they need to associate a single physical location with multiple subsidiaries, deviating from this standard behavior.
Solution
The standard behavior for NetSuite OneWorld accounts dictates a one-to-one relationship between a location and a subsidiary. However, it has been confirmed that when the 'Inventory Feature,' and specifically 'Multi-Location Inventory,' is not enabled, it is possible to assign multiple subsidiaries to a single location. This behavior is consistent with findings in SuiteAnswers ID 9836.
