One Parent Subsidiary

This topic describes how to use the Import Wizard with the One Parent Subsidiary model.

Reporting Considerations

Using the One Parent Subsidiary model may result in reporting differences between Simphony and NetSuite because POS revenue centers can be assigned to NetSuite subsidiaries that do not correspond to their original POS locations.

For example, consider the following Simphony configuration with three POS locations:

Table 10-1 Simphony Configuration

POS Location 1 POS Location 2 POS Location 3
Revenue Center 1-1 Revenue Center 2-1 Revenue Center 3-1
Revenue Center 1-2 Revenue Center 2-2 Revenue Center 3-2
Revenue Center 1-3 Revenue Center 2-3 Revenue Center 3-3

Using the following configuration that has three NetSuite subsidiaries, the revenue centers could be organized differently in NetSuite:

Table 10-2 NetSuite Configuration

NetSuite Subsidiary 1 NetSuite Subsidiary 2 NetSuite Subsidiary 3
Revenue Center 1-1 Revenue Center 1-2 Revenue Center 1-3
Revenue Center 2-1 Revenue Center 2-2 Revenue Center 2-3
Revenue Center 3-1 Revenue Center 3-2 Revenue Center 3-3

In the NetSuite Configuration example, revenue centers from different Simphony POS locations are grouped under the same NetSuite subsidiary.

As a result, reporting totals at the POS location level in Simphony may not match reporting totals at the subsidiary level in NetSuite.

Important:

Review the revenue center mappings carefully before importing. If the Simphony POS location structure does not align with the NetSuite subsidiary structure, direct comparisons between POS location reports and NetSuite subsidiary reports may not be possible.
  1. In Step 1 of the Import Wizard, Choose POS Configuration Model, select One Parent Subsidiary.
  2. Define the NetSuite parent subsidiary that will contain the selected POS revenue centers, and then click the Next button. You can use an existing subsidiary or create a new one. The following table describes each subsidiary option.

    Table 10-3 Select Parent Subsidiary

    Option Description
    Use Existing Subsidiary

    Select Use Existing Subsidiary to import the selected POS revenue centers as new NetSuite locations or map them to existing locations within an existing NetSuite subsidiary.

    In the Select Parent Subsidiary drop-down list, select the NetSuite subsidiary to use.

    Create New Subsidiary

    Select Create New Subsidiary to create a new NetSuite subsidiary and import all selected POS revenue centers as new locations within it.

    Enter the Parent Subsidiary Name, Country, State/Province, and Currency for the new subsidiary.

    Enable Has Parent Subsidiary, and then in the Parent Subsidiary drop-down list, select the existing NetSuite subsidiary that will serve as the parent of the new subsidiary.

  3. Select all POS locations you want to include in the import, and then click the Next button.
  4. Click the Import Selected button to start the process.
  5. In Step 2 of the Import Wizard, Load Revenue Centers (Locations), the system retrieves all revenue centers associated with the selected POS locations.
  6. In Step 3 of the Import Wizard, Define Sub Locations (Optional), you can create sub locations to organize the NetSuite locations being imported.

    If needed, use the Add Above and Add Below buttons to organize the NetSuite locations being imported, and then click the Next button.

  7. In Steps 4 through 8 of the Import Wizard, the wizard imports the following related data from Simphony:
    • Employees

    • Taxes

    • Order Types

    • Tender Media

    • Menu Items

    Click the Next button to confirm each step and proceed with the import.

  8. After all import steps are complete, the wizard displays the Connection and Import Successful page.
