what is the proper way to update COA with a new subsidiary

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To update the Chart of Accounts (COA) with a new subsidiary in NetSuite, you would typically create a new subsidiary and assign it a COA. However, the decision to create a new subsidiary or use an existing one depends on several factors, including legal and leadership considerations. If the new entity is to be an independent legal entity, it should be accounted for accordingly by creating a new subsidiary. If the intent is to integrate the new entity entirely under one legal entity, then you should use an existing subsidiary. Here are the steps to create a new subsidiary and assign it a COA: 1. Navigate to Setup > Company > Subsidiaries. 2. Click New. 3. Fill in the necessary fields, such as Name, Country, State/Province, and so on. 4. In the Chart of Accounts section, select the COA you want to assign to the new subsidiary. 5. Click Save. Remember, if the new entity is to be an independent legal entity, it should have its own COA. If the new entity is to be integrated under an existing legal entity, it can share the COA with the existing entity. Also, consider using segments (class, department, custom segment, etc.) and custom Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet reports to simplify your accounting. This approach can help you separate activities based on attributes, making it easier to manage your accounts. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
