NETSUITE FEATURE |
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION |
|
Advanced Promotions |
This feature is being deprecated, and customers will need to migrate to SuitePromotions. |
|
Multi-Book Accounting |
Multi-Book support for Country Tax Reports is still in progress. You can't translate Tax Amount fields on secondary books yet, so you'll need to calculate them manually in saved searches or custom reports. |
|
Store Pickup |
This feature needs changes to the NetSuite tax engine logic for the US because it isn't supported yet. |
|
SuiteAnalytics Connect |
In the NetSuite.com data source, you can query tax-related information from legacy tax and SuiteTax. To query your SuiteTax data with SuiteAnalytics Connect Service, you can access both the NetSuite.com and NetSuite2.com data sources. To query the SuiteTax related records and fields only, you can access the NetSuite2.com data source. When the SuiteTax feature is enabled for an existing legacy tax customer, the legacy tax data is migrated to SuiteTax. Tax-related information from the migrated legacy tax data is then accessible in netsuite2.com. For more information, see Using the NetSuite.com to NetSuite2.com Map. |
|
Web Site |
You can only enable SuiteTax if Site Builder websites are inactive, or their Web Site Scope is set to ‘Information and Catalog’ or ‘Information Only.’ For all other Web Site Scopes, SiteBuilder isn't supported with SuiteTax. For more information about the Web Site Scope setting on the Website Setup record, see Multi-Site Settings. To inactivate websites, ensure the Website, Site Builder (Website), and Site Builder (Web Store) features are enabled, then see Making a Website Inactive. |
