BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Important Information for Students
Before beginning this course, become familiar with the information in this section, as it outlines
differences between eLearning content and the NetSuite application.

This section contains supplemental information on the differences between eLearning content and

Administrators No Longer Required to Provide Initial Passwords for New Users

This may not be in the eLearning recording for the Roles Overview module.

⚫ Administrators no longer must provide an initial password to new users; standard NetSuite
user access email templates now contain a synthetic field that triggers the generation of a
temporary URL with a verification code that is included in the email sent to new users for
accessing NetSuite.
o New users can click the URL in the notification email and create their own NetSuite
passwords.
⚫ There is also a new company setting on the General Preferences page. Go to Setup >
Company > General Preferences. The setting is User Registration Link Expiration In Hours.
o You can set the length of time that the URL generated by the synthetic field remains
valid. By default, the expiration in hours value is set to 24 hours, which is hard coded in
the standard user access email templates.
o Valid values range from one hour to 72 hours.
o If you change the default value for the setting, you must also update the value in the
email templates.

Changes to Role Record

This may not be in the eLearning recording for the Roles Overview module.

⚫ Subsidiaries Restrictions: On the role record, enhancements have been to configure

subsidiary restrictions. These changes make it cleared on how to assign subsidiary
restrictions to roles. These changes are in the new Subsidiary Restrictions Section.
⚫ Restrictions Subtab in Role Record - The Restrictions subtab is used to set department,
class, and location restrictions; this was previously above all the subtabs.
⚫ Advanced Employee Restrictions functionality gives administrators more flexibility and
control over what employee information certain roles can access in NetSuite
⚫ Authentication Section in Custom and New Role may be used for additional role definition
and access security measures.

Changes to the Subsidiaries Page

This may not be in the eLearning recording for the Finance and Accounting Setup module.

⚫ Subsidiary Settings Manager is used to manage features and define additional settings for
one or more subsidiaries. Navigate to Setup > Company > Setup Tasks > Subsidiary Settings
Manager:
o Manage subsidiary-specific features that require additional setup before you can use
them.

ERP: Fundamentals
4 | Before You Begin

o After enabling a subsidiary-specific feature, on the Enable Features page, that feature is
available on the Subsidiary Settings Manager page.
o View the state of subsidiary-specific features relative to the list of subsidiaries.

Changes to the Currency Record

This may not be in the eLearning recording for the Finance and Accounting Setup module.

⚫ Currency Precision is a read-only field displaying the number of digits to the right of the
decimal point used in currency translation; precision can be zero or two.
o To change, contact NetSuite Technical Support.

Changes to Intercompany Journal Entry Form

This may not be in the eLearning recording for the Financial Tools module.

⚫ When you navigate to the Intercompany Journal page, you will see an informational banner
stating that the page is replacing by the Advanced Intercompany Journal Entry.
⚫ In this release, you can still use the Intercompany Journal page for transferring amounts
between two subsidiaries. However, you can go ahead and click the link to view the
Advanced Intercompany Journal Entry form.
⚫ To know more about the topic, search for Making Advanced Intercompany Journal Entries
in the Help Center.

Changes to Visible Center Tabs

A SuiteApps tab is now visible in the Fin MM centers for available roles. This tab provides a view of
the SuiteApps Marketplace. This is a location in NetSuite where you can find and install SuiteApps
created using the SuiteCloud Development Framework (also referred to as SDF SuiteApps), and
SuiteApp bundles created using SuiteBundler. Search the Help Center for SuiteApp Marketplace.

Maximum Number of Subsidiaries

OneWorld accounts are now allowed a maximum number of 250 subsidiaries; the root (parent) + 249
subsidiaries. Search the Help Center for Subsidiaries OneWorld.

ERP Fundamentals

Administrator Role Added to the List of Roles

Additional information is available about the Administrator role. The Standard Administrator role is
now available in the list of roles on the Manage Roles page; click the role name to see the role
configuration. You cannot customer the Administrator role; the Customize and Edit buttons are not
available.

The Administrator role page shows all permissions in the system assigned with Full access level, or the
highest access level available for the given permission, and it provides a quick and easy way to see all
users who have the Administrator role assigned.

To see a list of roles available in your account, go to Setup > Users/Roles > Manage Roles to open the
Manage Roles page

Worldwide Support for Phone Number Formatting

NetSuite's worldwide phone number formatting:

• Is supported, in both the user interface and SuiteScript, for specific countries
• Can be enabled or disabled by the Administrator
• Applies to any phone number entered on records, entry forms, and other forms or places in
the NetSuite application

Search the Help Center for Phone Number Formatting.

Advance Notice: End of Support for Some Browsers

NetSuite will no longer support the following browsers:

⚫ Microsoft Internet Explorer 11

⚫ Microsoft Edge (EdgeHTML)
⚫ All Safari versions prior to 13.1

For information about supported browsers, search the Help center for information on supported

ERP: Fundamentals
6 | Before You Begin

End of Support for Reset Button on Standard Form Pages

NetSuite no longer supports the use of the Reset button on standard form pages:

⚫ A reset button is no longer visible on any form or record pages.

⚫ Use the refresh function in your browser, to revert to the original version of the form or
record, use the refresh function in your browser.
⚫ Access to existing custom Reset buttons that you added using SuiteScript APIs, is still
available.

For more information, search the Help center for using buttons.

Changes to Account and Role Selection Pages

Any pages in NetSuite where you are prompted to select an account, or a role, now display a new
view of your choices. You may encounter these pages during the login process, or when you are
switching roles.

Changes to these pages include:

⚫ Grouping of Roles per Account

⚫ Renaming: View My Roles and My Roles
⚫ Default Role Changes

Core Administration Permissions

By default, the Core Administration Permissions feature is now enabled on all accounts. Use Core
Administration Permissions to customize a role so that it behaves almost like the Administrator role
by selecting the Core Administration Permissions check box; access to other areas of NetSuite will use
role permissions and restrictions.

Electronic Bank Payments SuiteApp Enhancements

The Electronic Bank Payments SuiteApp (formerly called NetSuite Electronic Payments) facilitates
processing bank payments of your vendor bills, employee expenses, partner and employee
commissions, and customer refunds, and enabling receipt of bank payments from customers. This
SuiteApp continues to add enhancements such as:

⚫ Bulk Update of Payment Batches

⚫ Exclude Transactions from Electronic Payments Processes
⚫ Process Payments for Vendors from Primary and Secondary Banks
