NetSuite Professionals

Hello does anyone have heard if Netsuite can de-attach a subsidiary of a one world account and create a new single account for the subsidiary company keeping the transaction history, a customer wants to know how this may work if he sells one of their business.

<@U4CTXJUUS> Couldn't say for sure, but fairly certain the answer is no.  There's going to be intercompany transactions and such, and there's definitely no way to have those between two different NetSuite accounts.

You certainly could inactivate a no-longer-used subsidiary.  Then if the other company purchased NetSuite, it would be significantly easier to export and load in history based off the transactions in the original sub.  But no, I don't think there's a silver bullet.  My view on transactional history is that it's really not that valuable after a few months anyway.

Thanks James, that was pretty much the same answer i give to the customer.
