Setup Tasks for Administrators Guidelines

Important:

Before you begin setting up the Planning and Budgeting Financials module, ensure that you have integrated the Planning and Budgeting Financials with NetSuite. For more information about the prerequisite steps required for integration, see the Planning and Budgeting Financials Integration Guide.

After you enable the Planning and Budgeting Financials module, you can begin to set up the module. To set up your application, you must have the Administrator role and complete the following tasks in consecutive order:

Initial Setup Task

Validate the source connection's token-based authentication credentials. For more information, see Validating the Source Connection.

Data Import Tasks

Complete the following steps to update the metadata and data:

  1. Verify that the Default POV Period fields for the system and application settings have valid accounting period values.

    See Verifying the Default Point Of View Period in Data Management.

  2. Verify the business rule set up in Data Management.

    See Verifying the Business Rules Setup in Data Management.

  3. Update the Actual load periods for the Batch_Data_Ongoing parameter.

Data Verification Tasks

Compete the following steps to validate the metadata and data in the Planning and Budgeting environment:

  1. Compare the ending totals in the Income Statement form in Planning and Budgeting Financials against ending totals in NetSuite for the current reporting month.

    See Verifying the Income Statement Data.

  2. Compare the ending totals in the Balance Sheet Report form in Planning and Budgeting Financials against ending totals in NetSuite for the current reporting month.

    Note:

    Perform this task only if all the values in the last row of the Balance Sheet Report form do not equal zero.

Many setup, import, and verification steps in this checklist require you to use the Data Management tool. Data Management is the primary tool that you use to drive the flow of data from NetSuite to Planning and Budgeting. For more information about Data Management, see Data Management Overview.
