NetSuite Subsidiary Sync to Salesforce
To better understand the Subsidiary sync, we first need to define some terms:
-
An Account in Salesforce represents an individual Company account,an organization or person involved with the business (for example, customers, competitors, and partners).
-
A Salesforce Account is equivalent to a Customer record in NetSuite. The Customer record is the primary object in NetSuite that holds all the data related to individuals or to the organization.
-
A Subsidiary in NetSuite is the primary object that holds the information related to an individual (parent) company or a child company or companies controlled by the parent company.
NetSuite OneWorld accounts let you manage data for this hierarchical structure of subsidiaries, which are separate legal entities. The parent subsidiary is the highest-level in the NetSuite account, and all other subsidiaries are children of the parent.
Each subsidiary represents a separate company within the 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 information, see Subsidiaries in OneWorld. The internal ID for this NetSuite record is subsidiary.
