Hello! We use intercompany functions in Netsuite with 5 subsidiaries. We would like to keep different AP/AR-accounts per subsidiary-relation. But as you know, you can only keep 1 AP on vendor and 1 AR on customer. We can change on SOs and POs with workflow I guess, but is there any other solution?

you can change this by workflow or manually but you would have to immediately change the AP/AR account on the customers/vendors and create the SO/PO transactions immediately This would be time-consuming because if several subsidiaries enter various intercompany transactions at the same time there is an obvious risk. It would be necessary to use a gl plug in to modify the GL impact in question per subsidiary relation.

we use distinct customers and vendors for each relationship so in SubA we would have SubA-SubB-Customer SubA-SubC-Customer SubA-SubD-Customer SubA-SubE-Customer and SubA-SubB-Vendor SubA-SubC-Vendor SubA-SubD-Vendor SubA-SubE-Vendor You can then specify a different AP and AR by entity

Is there any reason why you have to do this? You can create custom analytic tools to break it down by subsidiary.

When we went live I don't think we could do Multi-Sub cusotmers+vendors for some reason (it didn't play nice with some other feature we had enabled - maybe electronic payments?). We were initially also going to split AP and AR account so we had dedicated accounts for each relationship. But it ended up being too many accounts on the balance sheet.
