🚨 Problem: Struggling to enable the Multiple Currencies feature in NetSuite? Need to manage transactions with customers and vendors in different currencies? 🚨

This guide will show you how to activate the Multiple Currencies feature in NetSuite, allowing you to handle transactions in various currencies effectively. 🌍💸

Step-by-Step Guide 📋

  1. Introduction to Multiple Currencies
    • The Multiple Currencies feature allows creating transactions with customers and vendors in currencies other than your company’s base currency. 🏦💱
  2. Understanding Accounting Periods
    • This feature supports transactions with customers and vendors in different currencies and relies on accounting periods to pass open balance reevaluation at the end of each month. 📆🔄
  3. Enabling Accounting Periods
    • If using calendar months instead of accounting periods, enable the accounting periods feature for effective use. 📅✅
  4. Navigating to Enable Features
    • Go to Setup in the top menu. ⚙️
    • Select Company and then Enable Features. 🏢🔧
  5. Activating Multiple Currencies
    • In the Company subtab, find Multiple Currencies. 💼🌐
    • If it’s already activated and grayed out, it means transactions have been created using this feature, and it cannot be deactivated. ❌
  6. Adding Currency Exchange Rate Integration
    • Decide if you want to add a currency exchange rate integration, which is highly recommended. 🔄💹
  7. Setting the Base Currency
    • Navigate to List > Accounting > Currencies. 💰
    • Ensure your company’s base currency is set. For NetSuite OneWorld, each subsidiary must also have a base currency. 🌍🏢
    • Make any changes to the base currency before performing other actions in NetSuite, as it cannot be changed after a record with the currency amount or link is saved. 🔒

Congratulations! 🎉 You have successfully enabled the Multiple Currencies feature in NetSuite. This will enhance your ability to manage international transactions smoothly. 🌐🧾
