Accounting Preferences
NetSuite provides many accounting preferences that determine the flow of the accounting management user interface in your account. Preferences can be set at Setup > Accounting > Accounting Preferences, by a user who has the Set Up Accounting permission. These preferences should be defined when your account is first set up. You can change most of them at any time.
The accounting preferences that can be set depend upon the NetSuite product purchased and the features enabled for your account.
The following sections describe accounting preferences, grouped by the subtabs of the Accounting Preferences page where they are displayed:
Click the Audit Trail link in this page header to review a list of changes to accounting preferences including the users who made the changes, dates of the changes, and preference values before and after changes. This list includes preferences that have been reset through scripting. See Auditing Account Preferences. Changes made to accounting preferences are captured in system notes. See Searching System Notes.
Invoicing, Inventory, and Finance Charge preferences also are available from additional menu options at Setup > Accounting. See Global Invoicing Preferences and Setting Up Advanced Inventory Management.
