Set Company Preferences

On the General Preferences page, you specify how information is entered and handled in NetSuite. Users with the Administrator role or with the Set Up Company permission can set general company preferences.

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.

For information about the General Preferences page, see:

• Setting General Account Preferences

• Overriding Company Preferences

• NetSuite Password Requirements

• Configuring Multiple Languages

• Center Logout Pages

• Custom Preferences

• Accounting Contexts

• Formatting for Dates, Numbers, Phone Numbers, and Time

Important:

To see a list of changes to general company preferences, click Audit Trail in the page header. The information shown includes who made the changes, when, and what changed. This list also shows preferences that were reset by scripts. See Auditing Account Preferences.

Other company preferences pages are available from the Setup > Accounting, Setup > Sales, and Setup > Marketing menus.
