Can customers belong to multiple subsidiaries?
k
If you enable cross subsidiary customers yes- i generally don't reccommend it, but for certain cases it makes sense
read documentation thorughly though, don't just "try it"
m
where is that setting at

I believe it's a feature
MULTI SUBSIDIARY CUSTOMER
is the actual name of it
Copy code
Multi-Subsidiary Customer Feature Limitations
Following are limitations in the Multi-Subsidiary Customer feature:
■ Incompatible Features:
□ SuiteBilling (formerly Advanced Subscription Billing)
□ Billing Accounts
□ Consolidated Payments
□ Mini EU One Stop Shop (MOSS)
Important: Incompatible features cannot be enabled when the Multi-Subsidiary Customer
feature is enabled. The Multi-Subsidiary Customer feature cannot be enabled when
incompatible features are enabled.
■ Unsupported Functionality:
□ Credit Limit per Subsidiary
□ Customer Center (supports data related to the primary subsidiary only)
□ Customer Dashboard
□ My Account connected to SuiteCommerce

Assigning Subsidiaries to a Customer 43
■ Limited Functionality:
□ Customer specific budgets can be created only for the primary subsidiary of the customer
□ Communication subtab on the customer record
Messages, Activities, Files, and User Notes added to the customer record are available only for the
primary subsidiary.
■ Tax Limitations:
□ All tax information from the customer record is defaulted only to the primary subsidiary and
ignored when a secondary subsidiary is selected.
□ On the Financial subtab on the customer record, the Tax Rounding fields are applied to all of the
subsidiaries to which the customer is assigned.
□ On the Financial subtab on the customer record, the value in the Tax Item field is the default for the
primary subsidiary only. For a customer with a default tax item, the tax engine attempts to return
that tax item and does not perform an additional tax lookup. However when a secondary subsidiary
is selected, the default tax item is ignored and a tax lookup is performed.
□ The PST Exempt and Taxable fields on the customer record are inverse to each other even though
both fields are never visible on the record at the same time. When you set one field to True, the
other field is automatically set to False.
Note: The PST Exempt (Taxable) field is visible on the customer record only when the
customer falls under a Canadian nexus.
■ Unsupported Transactions:
□ Issue Tegata
□ Pay Tegata
■ Technical Limitations:
To ensure that dynamic mode scripts and workflows perform as expected, the selected entity or
customer (depending on the transaction) determines the default subsidiary
Real nice netsuite - add a hyphen in the middle of it in the documentation, but not in the enable features page

I do not see this option
but my customer have Subsidiary and represents subsidiary fields on their records
did netsuite just push this in natively
or something else is on?

no idea why you wouldn't have it
Oh. Read the document I linked and included an extract from @Marygolds3
You must enable the feature before it's available on customers
