Modifying Your Subsidiary Hierarchy

You modify a subsidiary’s place in the hierarchy through that subsidiary’s record. When you use the Allow Subsidiary Hierarchy to be Modified preference, the read-only Subsubsidiary Of field on the subsidiary record becomes a list.

To modify your subsidiary hierarchy:

1. Go to Setup > Company > Subsidiaries.

2. Click Edit next to the subsidiary you want to move in the hierarchy.

   Note:

   You cannot set a new parent directly on a new record. If you want to create a new record as a new parent, you must first save the record. Then, in edit mode, position the new parent within the hierarchy.

   You cannot make an elimination subsidiary the parent subsidiary.

3. In the Subsubsidiary Of list, move the subsidiary to the new place in the hierarchy.

4. Read the license agreement that includes the consequences associated with subsidiary hierarchy modification.

   Only if you agree with the license content and are eligible to modify your subsidiary hierarchy, click Accept.

5. Click Save.

   Important:

   Depending on the amount of data NetSuite has to process, saving the hierarchy change may take up to 30 minutes.

6. Click List in the top right corner of the page.

7. View the updated subsidiary hierarchy on the Subsidiaries list page.
