Creating a Report Request
To generate the reports, a Report Request must be created or submitted.
Before creating or submitting a Report Request, these are required:
-
For OneWorld, you must have Japanese subsidiaries.
Without OneWorld, you must be using the NetSuite Japan edition.
-
Reporting information has been set up.
-
Municipal information has been set up on Depreciable Assets > Setup > Municipal Information > New, or on the subsidiary for OneWorld.
A Report Request must be unique for every subsidiary and reporting year. The reports contain data from the previous year of the Reporting Year. For example, if the Reporting Year is 2020, the reports will include depreciable asset information from January 2, 2019 to January 1, 2020.
The Report Request involves three processes:
-
compilation of asset report data;
-
compilation of tax report data; and
-
generation of report files.
The second and third processes can only be started if the previous process is completed.
If a process (compilation of asset report data, compilation of tax report data, or generation of report files) is currently being run for a Report Request record, the same process can't be run for other Report Request records until the ongoing process is finished. The users who ran the same process that was deferred, will receive an alert message, and should wait for the process that came first to finish before they can proceed.
If a process is ongoing for a Report Request record, another process can't be started for the same Report Request record at the same time. The users who ran the other process that was deferred, will receive an alert message, and should wait for the process that came first to finish before they can proceed.
The same Report Request can't be run again by a different user.
A Report Request record can't be edited. It can be deleted, but all associated records and files must be deleted first.
All processes have a Recompile option in case of errors or when data are no longer up to date. They also have a Purge & Reset option that deletes associated records and files and resets the status to Pending.
