Multi-Subsidiary for Netsuite

  • Updated

Companies using Netsuite with multiple subsidiaries can now use one Float account to manage all subsidiaries. Here’s what you can do with Float’s Netsuite integration for subsidiaries:

  • Choose multiple subsidiaries to sync from Netsuite
  • Choose a Default Subsidiary
  • Assign subsidiaries to spenders and cards to automate coding of transactions to the correct subsidiary
  • Track spending by subsidiary
  • Export transactions to the appropriate subsidiary in Netsuite

 

How does this work in Float?

Before getting started, ensure the Float integrator role has access to all subsidiaries. Learn more about integrating  Netsuite here.

  1. Navigate to Settings → Accounting Sync.
  2. Here, you will see a list of all available subsidiaries from Netsuite. (You may need to re-sync in order to see new subsidiaries.)

  1. Enable the subsidiaries you’d like to use with Float.
  2. Choose clearing account(s) for each subsidiary.
  3. You must choose one Default Subsidiary.
    • This is used to code transactions, if there is no subsidiary assigned to the card. You can change the default subsidiary for any spender, card, or transaction.

 

Spenders

Spenders are assigned to a single subsidiary, meaning their cards will also be assigned to this subsidiary.

To change the subsidiary of an individual spender:

  1. Navigate to Users
  2. Select a user
  3. Change the subsidiary in the dropdown
    • You will have the option to change all cards to this subsidiary at this time, or change the subsidiary for only newly created cards.

 

Cards

Cards are assigned to a single subsidiary, meaning all transactions will be coded to this subsidiary.To change the subsidiary of an individual card:

  1. Navigate to Cards
  2. Select a Card
  3. Change the subsidiary under Card Settings
    • NOTE: This will only affect future transactions made on this card. 


Transactions

When a spender makes a transaction on their card, it will be automatically coded with the subsidiary assigned to that card. If there is no subsidiary assigned to the card, then the Default Subsidiary will be used. A spender might spend outside their subsidiary, you can adjust for this in the Accounting Hub.
To change the subsidiary of a transaction:

  1. While logged in to your admin portal, navigate to 'Accounting' in the left sidebar
  2. Choose “Transaction Export”.
  3. Select a transaction, (or alternatively use the filter to find transactions for a specific subsidiary).
  4. Each transaction is assigned a subsidiary according to the card used. You can change this subsidiary as an admin/bookkeeper.

  1. Click Export to export the transaction to the correct subsidiary in Netsuite

 

Reporting

  1. In the Reporting section, you can get a breakdown of spend by subsidiary.
