-
The preferences that you can set at each level vary according to the edition of NetSuite you are using and the features enabled in your account.
-
The same preferences are available at the user and role levels. Some of these preferences are also available at the company and subsidiary levels.
-
If a company-level preference is set not to allow overrides, you cannot set this preference at the subsidiary, role, or user levels. See Overriding Company Preferences.
-
If the same preference is set at multiple levels, these conflicting preferences are processed in the following order:
-
An individual user preference takes precedence over role, subsidiary, and company preferences.
-
A role-based preference takes precedence over subsidiary and company preferences.
-
A subsidiary-based preference takes precedence over a company preference.
-
A company preference takes precedence over the system default.
