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:

• General Accounting Preferences

• Items/Transactions Accounting Preferences

• Order Management Accounting Preferences

• Projects Accounting Preferences

• Time & Expenses Accounting Preferences

• Approval Routing Accounting Preferences

• Accounting Books Accounting Preferences

• Balancing Segments Preferences
