How to Track Eliminated Intercompany Transactions in NetSuite Saved Searches

This guide outlines a method for tracking the elimination status of intercompany transactions using NetSuite's System Notes in a saved search.

Short answer

To identify eliminated intercompany transactions, configure a NetSuite saved search. Utilize System Notes to filter for changes in the 'Eliminate' field, interpreting 'T' as 'Yes' and other values as 'No' to clearly show the elimination status.

Scenario

Users often need to create a saved search to identify intercompany transactions that have been marked for elimination. This requires leveraging NetSuite's System Notes to capture the historical change in the 'Eliminate' field, as this field's status is not directly exposed for filtering in standard transaction searches.

Solution

To create a saved search that exposes eliminated intercompany transactions, configure the search with the following parameters. Note that directly filtering by 'System Notes : Field is Eliminate' for intercompany transactions in a saved search is not directly available in current NetSuite versions. Instead, a more general approach to capture changes to relevant fields within System Notes is recommended, followed by a formula to interpret the 'newvalue'.

Criteria:

  • Add a criterion to filter System Notes for changes to fields related to intercompany elimination. While a direct 'Eliminate' field may not be available, look for fields that indicate the elimination process or status change. For example, you might look for 'System Notes : Field' that indicates a change in a custom field used for elimination, or a related system field if one is exposed.

Results:

  • Field Name: Field Name | Summary Type Group
  • Field Formula (Test): Summary Type Maximum | Formula case when {systemnotes.newvalue} = 'T' then 'Yes' else 'No' end | When order by field System Notes : Date

This setup allows for the identification of transactions where the relevant elimination field's value changed to 'T' (True), indicating an elimination action.
