NetSuite does not allow changing the subsidiary of an employee if there are transactions linked to them. Here are the steps you can follow: 1. Create a new employee record in the correct subsidiary. 2. Set the old employee record as inactive. 3. You could make the new record a supervisor of the old record. This way, they could see transactions for their “team”. Please note that this process might be a bit inconvenient as the employees will lose all their favorite shortcuts and other stuff on their dashboard. Also, you might have to use a different email address for their old record. It's worth mentioning that NetSuite announced during the last SuiteWorld that a multi-entity employee type is coming. This feature would be very helpful for employee transfer and other related cross-subsidiary transactions. Until then, the above-mentioned process is the only way to handle this situation. Remember, this process is manual and can be time-consuming. There is currently no more efficient way to handle this or a way to automate a special import to rename the record, inactivate, and create new.
