On an employee record the subsidiary cannot be changed. Is there any workaround?

****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ****** In NetSuite, once an employee record has been created and transactions have been posted against it, the subsidiary field on the employee record cannot be changed. This is because the subsidiary field is tied to the transactions that have been posted against the employee record. If you need to change the subsidiary for an employee, the current workaround is to create a new employee record under the new subsidiary and set the old employee record as inactive. This is a manual process and can be time-consuming, especially if you have a large number of employees changing subsidiaries. Please note that deleting transactions to change the subsidiary and then adding them back is not recommended as it can lead to inconsistencies and potential issues with your accounting records. As of now, there is no automated way to handle this in NetSuite. However, NetSuite has indicated that a multi-subsidiary employee record type may be coming in the future. Until then, the manual process of creating a new employee record under the new subsidiary and setting the old one as inactive is the only workaround.
