NetSuite and Data Exchange Comparison

You can use both NetSuite and Data Exchange to manage data load rules for your NetSuite Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) applications. This help topic outlines which data load tasks you can complete using either or both of the user interfaces for the following NetSuite EPM applications:

Note:

Data Load Rule jobs in NetSuite are called Data Integration jobs in NetSuite Enterprise Performance Management.

Tip:

NetSuite is the preferred user interface for managing data load rules for your NetSuite Enterprise Performance Management application.

Important:

If you change the password you use to log in to NetSuite EPM, or the password expires, you need to re-enter the password in NetSuite. To avoid this, you can use OAuth 2.0 to connect to NetSuite Account Reconciliation. Using OAuth 2.0 to connect to NetSuite Planning and Budgeting is not currently supported.
