Additional Setup Steps

After installing the International Tax Reports SuiteApp, perform the following setup steps:

  1. Roles and Permissions

    Use the following roles provided by the International Tax Reports SuiteApp. These roles have already been set up with all the required permissions and access to script deployments:

    • Tax Reporting Accountant

    • Tax Reporting Accountant Reviewer

    • Tax Reporting CFO

    • Tax Reporting Bookkeeper

    If you want to use your own customized roles, read Creating or Customizing Roles to Use the International Tax Reports.

    Note:

    The standard Bookkeeper role cannot access the reports in the International Tax Reports SuiteApp even if you add permissions and grant the role access to scripts and reports. NetSuite recommends that you use the pre-configured Tax Reporting Bookkeeper role instead.

  2. Report By Period

    Make sure that the Report By Period field in Home > Set Preferences > Reporting/Search is set to either Financials Only or All Reports. Report Period should not be set to Never. The Report by Period user preference determines whether report data is calculated by date range or by period. See Reporting Preferences on the Set Preferences Page.
