Setting Up ASA
An administrator can enable the Alternate Sales Amount feature at Setup > Company > Setup Tasks > Enable Features. The Alternate Sales Amount feature is on the Transactions subtab.
When you enable the ASA feature, NetSuite adds an Alt. Sales Amt. column to line items on estimates, opportunities, return authorizations and sales orders. NetSuite tracks this amount in addition to the sales amount for each line item. Both the ASA and sales amount can be used to calculate commission and sales forecasts and to measure quotas.
There are two ASA preferences at Setup > Sales > Preferences > Sales Preferences:
-
Default ASA to First Year Revenue – Check this box to calculate ASA based on the first year's revenue.
-
Alternate Sales Amount Name – Enter the name your company uses for alternate sales amounts. This name appears on reports and on transactions.
