Using System Alerts

A System Alert notifies administrators of problems NetSuite encounters when processing a transaction and advises how to correct the problem. Only users with the Administrator role have access to system alerts.

System alerts appear in the Reminders portlet on the Home tab after you have activated the reminder.

To activate the System Alerts reminder:

  1. Click Personalize Dashboard in the Settings portlet or Personalize in the top right corner of the Home page.

  2. In the Add Content panel, click or move the Reminders item.

  3. In the Reminders portlet, click Set Up.

  4. Check the NetSuite System Alerts to Acknowledge box.

  5. Click Save.

To view a system alert, click the reminder in the Reminders portlet on the Home page. System alerts also can be accessed at Setup > Company > System Alerts.

The AMT system alert notifies you that an automatic memorized transaction has failed to post because it does not have a location reference. AMT alerts appear as a system alert in the Reminders portlet of the Home page.
