What's the difference between tosubsidiary and subsidiary fields in a Purchase Order?
c
AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
The 'tosubsidiary' and 'subsidiary' fields in a Purchase Order in NetSuite are used to specify the subsidiary context of the transaction. The 'subsidiary' field is used to specify the primary subsidiary that the transaction is associated with. This is the subsidiary that the transaction will be recorded under in the general ledger. On the other hand, the 'tosubsidiary' field is not a standard field on Purchase Orders or Sales Orders in NetSuite. It might be a custom field created for specific business needs. In some cases, a 'tosubsidiary' field might be used to indicate a different subsidiary that the transaction is related to, in addition to the primary subsidiary. This could be useful in intercompany transactions, for example, where goods or services are being transferred from one subsidiary to another. However, without more specific information about how the 'tosubsidiary' field is being used in your particular NetSuite instance, it's hard to provide a more definitive answer. It's recommended to check with your NetSuite administrator or the person who set up the 'tosubsidiary' field for more details. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
