Does anyone know is there such a thing as a Reporting Entity in NetSuite?

Due to the expansion of our company we now have two subsidiaries. Sub A = Europe and Sub B = US.

Some of our customers setup historically are set against Sub A but they are based in the US.

So we are now required to report on them as being under Sub B instead.

Currently, Finance have to manually make amendments to each report to overcome this issue.

Is there a way to default these to report against a different Entity?

It’s not a reporting problem, it’s a data problem. Customers are hard-coded to belong to a single subsidiary. You would need to recreate the customer under the new sub and then possibly migrate some of their financial history if desired, and then start using that new customer from now on.

If you are patient, NetSuite will eventually allow a single customer to belong to multiple subsidairies. However, in your case, I’m not sure even that would help, since their historical data would still belong to the old sub. There’s nothing you can ever do to resolve that, short of migrating your data from sub to sub, or perhaps using a custom field to reclassify the data (though that would be difficult to manage on the long run)
