Important Considerations

These are some general considerations to take aware of as you read through this guide.

  1.   The guide does not provide financial advice in any way. If you have questions about your specific financial needs, please consult with your accountant. If you have questions about NetSuite’s functionality, ask your NetSuite account manager.

  2.    Since this guide does not provide guidance for all of NetSuite’s features, many fields such as checkboxes and dropdowns are not described herein. If you need additional information about fields that are not described in the document, click the Field label (“Custom Form” in the image below) to get see the Field Help and a brief description.


  3.    If you need more information on any screen, click the Help button that appears in the upper right corner of the screen next to your name. The Help screen provides Help specific to your current activity or page you’re on.


  4.   The guide was written for organizations with relatively simple needs. It does not incorporate web sales, external donation systems, tax collections on sales, inventory management or other complex needs. If your organization has complex requirements, working with a professional implementation partner is recommended.

  5. This guide provides some information regarding data imports and exports, but exclusively in reference to QuickBooks. The templates provided in this guide can be populated with data from any system, but this guide does not describe the specific steps required to export and prepare data from any software other than QuickBooks.

  6. This guide does not describe how to import historical transactions or transaction details. Historical financials are imported as Journal Entries, either by month, quarter or year, primarily for year-over-year comparisons. Generally, transactions from other systems cannot reasonably be imported into NetSuite. If your organization needs to include past historical transaction detail in your NetSuite account, contact your NetSuite sales representative.

The Implementation Team

Migration from one system to another, even just for financials, requires a team of stakeholders who work together to achieve a successful result. The team involved in your “self-implementation” of NetSuite consists of people from NetSuite and your organization. This section describes the members of this team.
