Step-by-Step Guide 📋

  1. Introduction to Setting Base Currency
    • Learn how to set a base currency in NetSuite, essential when enabling the multiple currencies feature. 🌍💱
  2. Enabling Multiple Currencies
    • When the multiple currencies feature is enabled, NetSuite sets the initial base currency based on your country edition. For NetSuite OneWorld, it sets the base currency of the root parent subsidiary. 🏢🌐
  3. Standard NetSuite Account
    • Go to Setup > Company > Company Information. ⚙️🏢
  4. NetSuite OneWorld Account
    • Navigate to Setup > Company > Subsidiaries. 📜💹
  5. Editing the Subsidiary
    • Scroll down and click Edit for the subsidiary whose base currency you want to change. 🖱️✏️
  6. Important Note on Changing Base Currency
    • Make changes to the base currency before performing any other actions in NetSuite. You cannot change the base currency once a record with the currency amount or link has been saved. 📝🔒
  7. Example Scenario
    • If a company in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, issues an invoice in USD to a customer in Buffalo, New York, the invoice will appear in USD, but the accounts receivable report will display the amount in CAD. 📄💵
