Subsidiary

A NetSuite OneWorld account enables you to manage data for a hierarchical structure of separate legal entities, or subsidiaries. This structure is organized as a tree that rolls up to a root, or top-level parent subsidiary. The root subsidiary is the highest-level subsidiary in your account, and all other subsidiaries are below it in the hierarchy. If an account that is upgraded to OneWorld has preexisting data, this data is used for the root subsidiary.

Each subsidiary represents a separate company within your global organization. Subsidiaries can be international or domestic. When you create a subsidiary record in NetSuite, the country you define for its address determines the NetSuite edition and tax nexus associated with that subsidiary.

For more details, see Subsidiaries in OneWorld and Subsidiary Setup.

The subsidiary record is defined in the listAcct (accounting) XSD.

Supported Operations

The following operations can be used with the subsidiary record.

add | addList | delete | deleteList | get | getList | getSavedSearch | getSelectValue | search | update | updateList | upsert | upsertList

Note:

You can also use the asynchronous equivalents of SOAP web services list operations. For information about asynchronous operations, see SOAP Web Services Asynchronous Operations. For more information about request processing, see Synchronous Versus Asynchronous Request Processing.

Field Definitions

The SOAP Schema Browser includes definitions for all body fields, sublist fields, search filters, and search joins available to this record. For details, see the SOAP Schema Browser’s subsidiary reference page.

Note for Accounts Using the 2013.2 and Earlier WSDLs

If you are using the 2013.2 endpoint or earlier, be aware that the subsidiary field, as defined in your WSDL, includes some body fields that are no longer used by NetSuite. Therefore, even if you are using an older WSDL that lists these fields, you can no longer interact with them. The fields are:

• anonymousCustomerInboundEmail

• anonymousCustomerOnlineForms

• caseAssignmentTemplate

• caseAutomaticClosureTemplate

• caseCopyEmployeeTemplate

• caseCreationTemplate

• caseEscalationTemplate

• caseUpdateTemplate

• companyNameForSupportMessages

• employeeCaseUpdateTemplate

• mainSupportEmailAddress
