Setting up Philippines-specific Features and Preferences

As a NetSuite user, your account should already be configured to suit your country and business-specific needs. However, you may check your account configuration to make sure that Philippines-specific features are enabled and working. To do this, make sure that your NetSuite role has the appropriate permissions; otherwise, you should contact your account administrator.

2. On the Company subtab, under the International section, make sure that the Multi-language box (if you are using more than one language in NetSuite) and Multiple Currencies box (if you are using more than one currency in NetSuite) are checked.

3. On the SuiteCloud subtab, make sure that all boxes under SuiteBuilder, SuiteScript, and SuiteGL sections are checked.
