Setting Up India-specific Preferences

To setup your NetSuite account according to India-specific preferences, you must adjust your NetSuite Company settings.

Note:

Make sure that your NetSuite role has the appropriate permissions to set up company preferences specific to India.

To adjust NetSuite Company settings:

1. Go to Setup > Company > Company Information and do the following:

   1. In the Currency field, set India Rupee as the company’s base currency.

   2. In the Time Zone field, set (GMT+05:30) Chennai, Kolkata, Mumbai, New Delhi as company’s time zone. Individuals can set their personal time zones at Home > Set Preferences.

2. Go to Setup > Company > General Preferences and do the following:

   1. Set the Date Format field as DD/MM/YYYY.

   2. Set the Long Date Format as D Month YYYY.

For more information about localizing general account preferences in NetSuite, see Set Company Preferences.

Adjusting NetSuite User Preferences

As a best practice, define preferences at the company level. User preferences usually take precedence over the other preferences set for a role, subsidiary, or company. If a user is linked to a subsidiary, that user will inherit the settings set on the subsidiary record. For more information, see General Personal Preferences.

To set user preferences for India account:

1. Go to Home > Set Preferences.

2. Go to the General subtab and set the following locale-specific preferences:

   1. On the Localization subtab, set the Language field to English (International).

   2. On the Localization subtab, set the Time Zone field to (GMT+05:30) Chennai, Kolkata, Mumbai, New Delhi.

   3. On the Formatting subtab, set the Date Format field to DD/MM/YYYY.

      On the Formatting subtab, set the Long Date Format field to D Month YYYY.
