Setup Tasks for Administrators Guidelines
Before you begin setting up the Planning and Budgeting Financials module, ensure that you have integrated the Planning and Budgeting Financials with NetSuite. For more information about the prerequisite steps required for integration, see the Planning and Budgeting Financials Integration Guide.
After you enable the Planning and Budgeting Financials module, you can begin to set up the module. To set up your application, you must have the Administrator role and complete the following tasks in consecutive order:
Initial Setup Task

Update the Actual load periods for the Batch_Data_Ongoing parameter.
-
Execute the Batch_MetaData_Load job to reload the metadata to Planning and Budgeting.

Data Verification Tasks
Compete the following steps to validate the metadata and data in the Planning and Budgeting environment:
-
Compare the ending totals in the Income Statement form in Planning and Budgeting Financials against ending totals in NetSuite for the current reporting month.
-
Compare the ending totals in the Balance Sheet Report form in Planning and Budgeting Financials against ending totals in NetSuite for the current reporting month.

Many setup, import, and verification steps in this checklist require you to use the Data Management tool. Data Management is the primary tool that you use to drive the flow of data from NetSuite to Planning and Budgeting. For more information about Data Management, see Data Management Overview.
