Setup Tasks for Administrators Guidelines

Important:

Before you start setting up the Planning and Budgeting Financials module, ensure that you've integrated Planning and Budgeting Financials with NetSuite. For more information about these prerequisite steps, see the Planning and Budgeting Financials Integration Guide.

After you enable Planning and Budgeting Financials, you can start setting up the module. To set up your application, you must have the Administrator role and complete the following tasks in order.

Initial Setup Task

Check the source connection's token-based authentication credentials. For more information, see Validating the Source Connection.

   See Verifying the Default Point Of View Period in Data Management.

2. Check the business rule set up in Data Management.

   See Verifying the Business Rules Setup in Data Management.

3. Update the Actual load periods for the Batch_Data_Ongoing parameter.

Data Verification Tasks

Follow these steps to validate the metadata and data in the Planning and Budgeting environment:

1. Compare the ending totals in the Income Statement form in Planning and Budgeting Financials against ending totals in NetSuite for the current reporting month.

   See Verifying the Income Statement Data.

2. 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.

   Note:

   Do this task only if all values in the last row of the Balance Sheet Report form aren't zero.

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.
