Set Company Preferences

The General Preferences page is where users with the Administrator role, or with the Set Up Company permission, can set how information is entered and handled in NetSuite.

This page is available at Setup > Company > General Preferences. These preferences apply to everyone in the account.

Some of the preferences here also can be set at the subsidiary (OneWorld only), role, or user level. See NetSuite Preference Levels Overview. You can stop these overrides on the Overriding Preferences subtab. See Overriding Company Preferences.

You can click Audit Trail in the page header to see a list of changes to general company preferences, including who made the changes, when, and what changed. This list shows preferences that have were reset by scripts. See Auditing Account Preferences.
