Financial Statements Overview 1
Chapter 1 Financial Statements Overview

NetSuite provides standard financial statements that you can run to review the financial condition of your business. For a list, see Available Financial Statements. You can use NetSuite's Financial Report Builder to customize standard financial statements to meet your business reporting needs. For information, see Using the Financial Report Builder. Financial statements differ, in the following respects, from other NetSuite reports that include financial data:
Financial statements group data by financial sections.

Each section is a subset of financial data for which separate filters, grouping, and sorting can be defined. The use of sections allows more fine-grained organization of data than is available for other types of reports. Standard financial statement section data is filtered and grouped by accounts. You can modify the filtering, grouping, and display formats of custom financial statement section data. Financial sections can be reused across reports. The same section filter criteria can be used in multiple layouts, while section data is grouped and displayed differently. For more information, see Working with Financial Statement Sections.
Financial statements store report characteristics in layouts.

A financial statement layout is a set of definitions for report rows, including the rows and financial sections to be displayed, row order and hierarchy, section filter criteria, methods for calculating summary amounts, row labels, and text, line, and background formatting options. Layouts can be shared, in order to provide a consistent look among related reports. Reports with shared layouts display the same rows but can have different sets of columns and different filters. A standard layout is provided for each type of standard financial statement, for each country. When you customize a financial statement, its standard layout is duplicated to provide a custom layout that you can edit. Most of your customizations, other than changes to columns and filters, are stored as part of this custom layout. For more information, see Working with Financial Statement Layouts. You need the Financial Statements permission in order to run financial statement reports. Additionally, you need the Report Customization permission to customize these reports in the Financial Report Builder or to change the layouts assigned to them. If you do not

have necessary permissions, contact your account administrator. Giving Access to Financial Statements If you use NetSuite OneWorld, you can run and customize separate financial statements for each subsidiary. See Working with OneWorld Financial Statements. Like other reports, values in financial statement results are rounded to the currency precision, as determined by the format of the company currency, or in NetSuite OneWorld, by the format of the subsidiary base currency. This rounding applies to currency values and non-currency values, including formula column values.

Income Statements
The following income statement reports are available:
Income Statement Report Income Statement Detail Report
Comparative Income Statement Report Budget Income Statement Report Budget Income Statement Detail Report Budget vs. Actual Report
Income Statement Report

The Income Statement report shows income, expenses, and net income for a specific period of time. The standard Income Statement includes the following rows:
Ordinary Income/Expense (header row) Income (financial section) Cost of Sales (financial section) Gross Profit (formula row) Expense (financial section) Net Ordinary Income (summary row) Other Income and Expenses (header row) Other Income (financial section) Other Expenses (financial section) Net Other Income (summary row) Net Income (formula row)
Header and summary rows are linked. Each summary row is calculated either through a simple sum of child row amounts or through a specified formula. The Net Income row is a formula row that sums Net Ordinary Income with Net Other Income. Standard Income Statement section data are selected based on account type and are grouped by account. You can customize the Income Statement in the Financial Report Builder. You can add, reorder, and change the hierarchy of rows. You can use dynamic criteria other than account type for section data, including account name, account number, class, department, location, and if you are using NetSuite OneWorld, subsidiary. In addition to account type, you can group section data by class, department, location, and if you are using NetSuite OneWorld, subsidiary. You can set formatting options for each row. For more information, see Using the Financial Report Builder. Be aware that the Allow Web Query option is not available for this report.
Also, you can add a Percent of Expense or Percent of Income column to your Income Statement. See Adding a Percent of Income Column to an Income Statement.
To see the Income Statement report:

Go to Reports > Financial > Income Statement. A message appears indicating that your report is loading. The status bar in the footer of the report indicates the progress as your report loads. You can click Cancel Report next to the status bar to stop the report from loading. In the footer of the report, you can select from filter dropdowns to refilter report data. You also can select from the Column dropdown to display report amounts by an additional dimension, including time period, class, department, location, or, if you are using NetSuite OneWorld, subsidiary. Click the button to display all footer dropdowns. For more information, see the help topic Setting Report Footer Options.
Note: Inactive classes, departments, locations, and subsidiaries are available as filters in
order to provide historical reporting and to avoid unbalanced totals. The Report by Period user preference determines whether report data is calculated by date range or by period. This preference is available at Home > Set Preferences, on the Reporting/ Search subtab. To display this report's data by date range, set this preference to Never. To display this report's date range by period, set this preference to All Reports, or to Financials Only. The Income Statement report may be run on a cash basis. The Cash Basis Reporting preference at Setup > Accounting > Accounting Preferences, on the General Ledger subtab, applies to all standard reports that support cash basis reporting. If this preference is enabled, the Income Statement is on a cash basis rather than an accrual basis. If this preference is not enabled, you can create a custom cash basis Income Statement by enabling the Cash Basis option on the More Options page of the Financial Report Builder. See the help topic Setting Up Cash Basis Reporting.
Note: You can click an Account Name to view General Ledger report data for the account.
Be aware that data in the General Ledger Balance column is likely to vary from data in the Income Statement Amount column. This difference occurs because the Amount column is the account balance from the specified period only, while the Balance column is a running account balance that includes the amount from the prior period as a beginning balance.
Income Statement Detail Report

The Income Statement Detail report shows individual transactions for a specified time period for each income and expense account, with the totals for each account and category.
The standard Income Statement Detail report includes the same rows as the standard Income Statement.
To see the Income Statement Detail report:

Go to Reports > Financial > Income Statement > Detail.
The Income Statement Detail report may be run on a cash basis. The Cash Basis Reporting preference at Setup > Accounting > Accounting Preferences, on the General Ledger subtab, applies to all standard reports that support cash basis reporting. If this preference is enabled, the Income Statement Detail is on a cash basis rather than an accrual basis. If this preference is not enabled, you can create a custom cash basis Income Statement Detail by enabling the Cash Basis option on the More Options page of the Financial Report Builder. See the help topic Setting Up Cash Basis Reporting.
Be aware that data in the General Ledger Balance column is likely to vary from data in the Income Statement Detail Amount column. This difference occurs because the Amount column is the account balance from the specified period only, while the Balance column is a running account balance that includes the amount from the prior period as a beginning balance.
Comparative Income Statement Report

The Comparative Income Statement report summarizes and compares income and expenses across two or more specified time periods. You can use this report to compare your company's performance with previous years. This comparison helps you to measure your company's progress and to make future projections. This report includes an Amount column that defaults to the current date range or period, and a Comparative Amount column that defaults to the last year or last fiscal year. When a user selects from the Date footer filter to change the date or period for Amount column data, the range for the Comparative Amount column changes accordingly, because it has a relative alternate range defined. For more information, see the help topic Adding Time-Based Comparison Columns to Reports. The standard Comparative Income Statement report includes the same rows as the standard Income Statement.
To see the Comparative Income Statement report:

Go to Reports > Financial > Comparative Income Statement.
The Comparative Income Statement report may be run on a cash basis. The Cash Basis Reporting preference at Setup > Accounting > Accounting Preferences, on the General Ledger subtab, applies to all standard reports that support cash basis reporting. If this preference is enabled, the Comparative Income Statement is on a cash basis rather than an accrual basis. If this preference is not enabled, you can create a custom cash basis Comparative Income Statement by enabling the Cash Basis option on the More Options page of the Financial Report Builder. See the help topic Setting Up Cash Basis Reporting.
Be aware that data in the General Ledger Balance column is likely to vary from data in the Comparative Income Statement Amount column. This difference occurs because the Amount column is the account balance from the specified period only, while the Balance column is a running account balance that includes the amount from the prior period as a beginning balance.
Budget Income Statement Report

The Budget Income Statement allows you to view a specific budget for income, cost of goods sold, and expense accounts in the same format as your income statement, including your projected net income per that budget. Because budgets are set up by period, this report does not display budget data accurately if the Report by Period preference is set to Never. If your report's budget columns are displaying zeros, go to Home > Set Preferences, and on the Reporting/Search subtab, set the Report by Period preference to All Reports, or to Financials Only. The standard Budget Income Statement report includes the same rows as the standard Income Statement.
To see the Budget Income Statement:

Go to Reports > Banking/Budgeting > Budget Income Statement.
The Budget Income Statement report may be run on a cash basis. The Cash Basis Reporting preference at Setup > Accounting > Accounting Preferences, on the General Ledger subtab, applies to all standard reports that support cash basis reporting. If this preference is enabled, the Budget Income Statement is on a cash basis rather than an accrual basis. If this preference is not enabled, you can create a custom cash basis Budget Income Statement by enabling the
Cash Basis option on the More Options page of the Financial Report Builder. See the help topic Setting Up Cash Basis Reporting.
Budget Income Statement Detail Report

The Budget Income Statement Detail report allows you to view budgeted amounts for income, cost of goods sold, and expenses, including projected net income, for a specific time period. This report includes individual transactions, and totals for each account and category. Because budgets are set up by period, this report does not display budget data accurately if the Report by Period preference is set to Never.

The Cash Basis Reporting preference at Setup > Accounting > Accounting Preferences, on the General Ledger subtab, applies to all standard reports that support cash basis reporting. If this preference is enabled, the Budget Income Statement Detail is on a cash basis rather than an accrual basis. If this preference is not enabled, you can create a custom cash basis Budget Income Statement Detail by enabling the Cash Basis option on the More Options page of the Financial Report Builder. See the help topic Setting Up Cash Basis Reporting.
Budget vs. Actual Report

The Budget vs. Actual report combines an income statement with a budget income statement for the same set of criteria, including both dollar and percentage comparisons between the two. This report allows you to analyze budgeted and actual financials to determine how closely your income and expenses compare to those you originally budgeted. Because budgets are set up by period, this report does not display budget data accurately if the Report by Period preference is set to Never. If your report's budget columns are displaying zeros, go to Home > Set Preferences, and on the Reporting/Search subtab, set the Report by Period preference to All Reports, or to Financials Only. The standard Budget vs. Actual report includes the same rows as the standard Income Statement, with columns for amount, budget amount, dollars that the amount is over budget, and amount as a percentage of budget.
Available Financial Statements 9 Balance Sheets
To see the Budget vs. Actual report:

Go to Reports > Banking/Budgeting > Budget vs. Actual.
The Budget vs. Actual report may be run on a cash basis. The Cash Basis Reporting preference at Setup > Accounting > Accounting Preferences, on the General Ledger subtab, applies to all standard reports that support cash basis reporting.

If this preference is not enabled, you can create a custom cash basis Budget vs. Actual by enabling the Cash Basis option on the More Options page of the Financial Report Builder. See the help topic Setting Up Cash Basis Reporting.
Be aware that data in the General Ledger Balance column is likely to vary from data in the Budget vs. Actual Amount column. This difference occurs because the Amount column is the account balance from the specified period only, while the Balance column is a running account balance that includes the amount from the prior period as a beginning balance.
Balance Sheets
The following balance sheet reports are available:
Balance Sheet Report Balance Sheet Detail Report Comparative Balance Sheet Report Multi-Column Balance Sheet
Balance Sheet Report

The Balance Sheet lists your company's assets, liabilities, and equity. The standard Balance Sheet includes the following rows:
ASSETS (header row) Current Assets (header row) Bank (financial section) Accounts Receivable (financial section) Unbilled Receivable (financial section)
Other Current Asset (financial section) Total Current Assets (summary row) Fixed Assets (financial section) Other Assets (financial section) Total ASSETS (summary row) LIABILITIES & EQUITY (header row) Current Liabilities (header row) Accounts Payable (financial section) Credit Card (financial section) Other Current Liability (financial section) Total Current Liabilities (summary row) Long Term Liabilities (financial section) Equity (header row) Equity (financial section) Retained Earnings (header row) Total Retained Earnings (summary row) Net Income (referenced row from Income Statement) Cumulative Translation Adjustment (financial section)
(OneWorld accounts with multi-currency enabled only)
Total Equity (summary row) Total LIABILITIES & EQUITY (summary row)
Header and summary rows are linked. Each summary row is calculated either through a simple sum of child row amounts or through a specified formula. Standard section data are selected based on account type and are grouped by accounts. For NetSuite OneWorld, consolidated balance sheet reports use a special account called Cumulative Translation Adjustment (CTA) to achieve balance when there is more than one currency. This account is necessary because the rate types of the accounts on the balance sheet differ. This results in different rates being used and can cause an imbalance. The CTA is also used wherever consolidation across accounts with different rate types occurs, such as the consolidated trial balance. For more information, see Understanding Cumulative Translation Adjustment (CTA).
Note: All balance sheet accounts checked with "Eliminate Intercompany Transaction"
are used exclusively for intercompany posting. As a result, you cannot post a nonintercompany balance to an Other Current Asset account IF the account is marked "Eliminate Intercompany Balance." In this case, you must have separate balance sheet accounts to post intercompany and non-intercompany transactions. The impacted balance sheet accounts include A/R, A/P, Other Current Asset (excluding inventory account), Other Current Liability, Long Term Liability, Other Asset, Deferred Expense, and Deferred Revenue. Further, the elimination Journal Entry is automatically reversed in the beginning of next period; therefore, the month-end auto-elimination will be calculated using the latest exchange rate, and on top of the total open balance of the account. You can customize the Balance Sheet in the Financial Report Builder. You can add, reorder, and change the hierarchy of rows. You can group section data by class, department, location, and if you are using NetSuite OneWorld, subsidiary. You can set formatting options for each row. For more information, see Using the Financial Report Builder. Be aware that the Allow Web Query option is not available for this report.
To see the Balance Sheet report:

Go to Reports > Financial > Balance Sheet.
Balance Sheet Detail Report

The Balance Sheet Detail report shows the starting balance at the beginning of a specified time period, transactions entered in the account for the time period you select, and the ending balance as of the report end date. The standard Balance Sheet Detail report includes the same rows as the standard Balance Sheet.
Note: All balance sheet accounts checked with "Eliminate Intercompany Transaction"
are used exclusively for intercompany posting. As a result, you cannot post a nonintercompany balance to an Other Current Asset account IF the account is marked "Eliminate Intercompany Balance." In this case, you must have separate balance sheet accounts to post intercompany and non-intercompany transactions. The impacted balance sheet accounts include A/R, A/P, Other Current Asset (excluding inventory account), Other Current Liability, Long Term Liability, Other Asset, Deferred Expense, and Deferred Revenue. Further, the elimination Journal Entry is automatically reversed in the beginning of next period; therefore, the month-end auto-elimination will be calculated using the latest exchange rate, and on top of the total open balance of the account.

Go to Reports > Financial > Balance Sheet > Detail.
Comparative Balance Sheet Report

The Comparative Balance Sheet report compares the category and worth of each account across two or more specified time periods. You can use this report to compare your company's performance with previous years. This comparison helps you to measure your company's progress and to make future projections. This report includes an Amount column that defaults to the current date range or period, and a Comparison Amount column that defaults to the last year or last fiscal year. When a user selects from the Date footer filter to change the date or period for Amount column data, the range for the Comparison Amount column changes accordingly, because it has a relative alternate range defined. For more information, see the help topic Adding Time-Based Comparison Columns to Reports. The standard Comparative Balance Sheet report includes the same rows as the standard Balance Sheet.
To see the Comparative Balance Sheet report:

Go to Reports > Financial > Comparative Balance Sheet.
Multi-Column Balance Sheet

Note: To use this report, you need to install the Financial Report Supplements SuiteApp.
See also Setting Up Your Account to Use the Multi-Column Balance Sheet. The Multi-Column Balance Sheet compares account balances for the previous reporting period with account balances for the selected reporting period, including the sum of all debits and credits posted to each account within the selected reporting period. The rows on the Multi-Column Balance Sheet display all the accounts in your chart of accounts, except those that do not contain any data. The columns display the following: 1. Account/group name - Shows the name of the account as defined in your chart of accounts. 2. Initial Balance - Shows the account balance at the end of the previous period. 3. Debit - Shows debits to the account within the reporting period. 4. Credit - Shows credits to the account within the reporting period. 5. Final balance - Shows the final account balance at the end of the reporting period.
Note: The Multi-Column Balance Sheet cannot be customized.
Example
If you select a reporting period that begins on July 2011 and ends on December 2011, the Multi-Column Balance Sheet shows the following:
Initial Balance column - Shows the account balance as of June 2011. Debit column - Shows the sum of all debits from July to December 2011. Credit column - Shows the sum of all credits from July to December 2011. Final Balance column - Shows the account balance as of December 2011. For assets, Final
Balance = Intial Balance + Debit - Credit. For liabilities and equity, Final Balance = Initial Balance - Debit + Credit.
The information presented in the Multi-Column Balance Sheet complies with financial reporting requirements in Brazil, but the report can be used by any country. If you use NetSuite OneWorld, you can select the reporting subsidiary. You can also generate a consolidated report by including child subsidiaries. The report shows values in the currency of the reporting subsidiary. You can save the report as a PDF or CSV file.
Note: Currently, the Multi-Column Balance Sheet does not support the Multiple Calendars
feature.
Net Income or Net Profit/Loss

To calculate Net Income or Net Profit/Loss, the Multi-Column Balance Sheet uses the same formula used in the standard Profit and Loss or Income Statement report. (This is also the Net Income formula used in the standard Balance Sheet.) Net Income = Income - Cost of Goods Sold - Expense + Other Income - Other Expenses
Note: The Multi-Column Balance Sheet uses the same formulas used in the standard
Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss/Income Statement report. Therefore, if you are using a customized Balance Sheet or Profit and Loss/Income Statement report with custom calculations (modified formula rows), then it is possible that the values in those customized reports will not match the values in the Multi-Column Balance Sheet.
Generating a Multi-Column Balance Sheet

To see the multi-column balance sheet:
1. 2.
Go to Reports > Financial > Multi-Column Balance Sheet. In the Subsidiary field, select the reporting subsidiary for this balance sheet.
3. 4. 5.
If you want to include child subsidiaries in this report, check the Consolidate box. Specify the reporting period for the report in the Period and To fields. The reporting period should be based on the accounting period set up for the subsidiary. Save the balance sheet as a PDF or CSV file:
To save a PDF file of the balance sheet, click Print. To save a CSV file of the balance sheet, click Export - CSV.
Note: When you click Print or Export - CSV, a message pops up to inform you that
printing of the Multi-Column Balance Sheet has started, and that the time to complete this process depends on the volume of data. Click OK to continue, or click Cancel to stop the process.

Cash Statements
The following cash statement reports are available:
Cash Flow Statement Report Cash Statement Report Cash Statement Detail Report
For information about customizing the organization of a cash flow statement, see Customizing Cash Flow Statement Account Sections.
Cash Flow Statement Report

The Cash Flow Statement report shows how your company's cash position has changed over a period of time, so you can assess your company's current financial position and set goals for its future. This report is also useful for investment and credit decisions. This report includes activities that affect the cash balance during the selected time period, including operating, investing, and financing activities. Operating activities begin with the net income amount referenced from the Income Statement, and include adjustments for changes
in account balances that affect available cash. Amounts for all of the activities are summed to arrive at the net change in cash for the period. Cash amounts at the beginning and end of the period are referenced from the Cash Statement Report. The standard Cash Flow Statement includes the following rows:
Operating Activities (header row) Net Income (referenced row from Income Statement) Adjustments to Net Income (header row) Accounts Receivable (financial section) Unbilled Receivable (financial section) Inventory Asset (financial section) Other Current Asset (financial section) Accounts Payable (financial section) Payroll Liabilities (financial section) Sales Tax Payable (financial section) Other Current Liabilities (financial section) Total Adjustments to Net Income (summary row) Total Operating Activities (summary row) Investing Activities (header row) Fixed Asset (financial section) Other Asset (financial section) Total Investing Activities (summary row) Financing Activities (header row) Long Term Liabilities (financial section) Opening Balance Equity (financial section) Other Equity (financial section) Total Financing Activities (summary row) Net Change in Cash for Period (formula row) Cash at Beginning of Period (referenced row from Cash Statement) Effect of Exchange Rate on Cash (financial section)
(OneWorld accounts with multi-currency enabled only)
Cash at End of Period (formula row)

Header and summary rows are linked. Each summary row is calculated either through a simple sum of child row amounts or through a specified formula. Standard section data are selected based on account type and are grouped by accounts. For NetSuite OneWorld with multi-currency enabled, consolidated cash flow statement reports include an Effect of Exchange Rate on Cash row. This row adjusts for the effects of rate differences in cash flow statement accounts for the period. This adjustment ensures the cash flow statement's Cash at End of Period is consistent with the balance sheet's Bank or cash equivalent. This row is a calculated amount that accounts for the related amount in the Cumulative Translation Adjustment (CTA) account used in the consolidated balance sheet. Generally no postings are made for exchange rate adjustment amounts included in this row. Exchange rate adjustment postings, when they do occur, are made to the CTA account. The adjustment calculated for the Effect of Exchange Rate on Cash row adds or subtracts any CTA amount as necessary. You can customize the Cash Flow Statement in the Financial Report Builder. You can add, reorder, and change the hierarchy of rows. You can use dynamic criteria other than account type for section data, including account name, account number, class, department, location, and if you are using NetSuite OneWorld, subsidiary. In addition to account type, you can group section data by class, department, location, and if you are using NetSuite OneWorld, subsidiary. You can set formatting options for each row. For more information, see Using the Financial Report Builder. Be aware that the Allow Web Query option is not available for this report.
To see the Cash Flow Statement:

Go to Reports > Financial > Cash Flow Statement. A message will appear indicating that your report is loading. The status bar in the footer of the report indicates the progress as your report loads. You can click Cancel Report next to the status bar to stop the report from loading.
Note: If you create a custom Cash Flow Statement that includes custom sections, its value
for the Cash at Beginning of Period row is likely to be incorrect, unless you create a custom Cash Statement that shares these custom sections and make that custom Cash Statement the referenced report for the Cash at Beginning of Period row. See Customizing Cash Flow Statement Account Sections.
Customizing Cash Flow Statement Account Sections

The standard Cash Flow Statement's Cash at Beginning of Period row references the Total Cash row in the standard Cash Statement. As a result of this reference, if you create a custom
Cash Flow Statement that includes changes to standard account sections, it is likely to have an incorrect value for Cash at Beginning of Period, because the Total Cash value referenced from the Cash Statement does not include the added/changed sections. To avoid this issue you must create a custom Cash Statement that shares the Cash Flow Statement's added/changed sections, and define this custom Cash Statement as the reference report for your custom Cash Flow Statement's Cash at Beginning Period row. See the following example to get a better understanding of how to match up Cash Flow Statement and Cash Statement section customizations, in order to maintain an accurate value for the Cash at Beginning of Period row.
Example Cash Flow Statement Customization

Cash Statement data can be useful for providing reference data for other financial statements, like the Cash Flow Statement Report. The standard Cash Statement includes cash in bank accounts as well as undeposited funds. It includes the following rows:
Cash Accounts (header row) Bank Accounts (financial section) Undeposited Funds (financial section) Total Cash (summary row)
The header and summary rows are linked. Each summary row is calculated either through a simple sum of child row amounts or through a specified formula. Standard section data are selected based on account and are grouped by accounts. You can customize the Cash Statement in the Financial Report Builder. You can add, reorder, and change the hierarchy of rows. You can use dynamic criteria other than account type for section data, including account name, account number, class, department, location, and if you are using NetSuite OneWorld, subsidiary. In addition to account type, you can group section data by class, department, location, and if you are using NetSuite OneWorld, subsidiary. You
can set formatting options for each row. For more information, see Using the Financial Report Builder. Be aware that the Allow Web Query option is not available for this report.
To see the Cash Statement report:

Go to Reports > Banking/Budgeting > Cash Statement.
Cash Statement Detail Report

The Cash Statement Detail report lists available cash as of a selected time period in greater detail than the Cash Statement report. The standard Cash Statement Detail report includes the same rows as the standard Cash Statement.
To see the Cash Statement report:

Go to Reports > Banking/Budgeting > Cash Statement > Detail.

Chapter 3 Using the Financial Report Builder

You can use the Financial Report Builder to customize NetSuite financial statements, including their columns, filters, sorting, and audience. The Financial Report Builder's most significant feature is the Edit Layout page. The Edit Layout page provides you with fine-grained control of your customized financial statements. In addition to report-level and column-level customizations, you can make edits per section or row. Sections are subsets of financial data, typically filtered and grouped by account type. On the Edit Layout page, you can customize the data that is included in a financial statement, through dynamic section-level filtering based on account type, account name, account number, class, department, location, or subsidiary. You can customize how data is ordered, through section-level sorting and grouping by account type, class, department, location, or subsidiary. You can define how to calculate results for report summary rows, either by simple totalling or by a more complex formula that you define. You can add formula rows that display calculated figures based on your stored data. You also have extensive editing tools to alter the look of each row or section in your report, including the labeling and text style. All customizations on an Edit Layout page are saved as a custom layout that can be shared by multiple custom financial statements. A layout is a set of definitions for a financial statement's rows and sections. Once you have saved a custom financial statement, it is available on the Saved Reports page. See the following topics for more details:

For more information, see Financial Report Builder Edit Columns Page.
Filters
This page includes the same functions as the Report Builder Filters page. These filters apply to the whole report, while the grouping and selection criteria defined on the Edit Layout page filter data for specific sections. For more information, see Financial Report Builder Filters Page. Note that financial statements, like other reports, include dropdowns in their results page footers that allow you to filter results for a single report instance. Click the button to display all filters.
Sorting
This page includes the same functions as the Report Builder Sorting page. You are encouraged to set up sorting by ordering rows and defining sort order for sections on the Edit Layout page, instead of using the Sorting page. Sorting options defined on the Edit Layout page override any sorting set on the Sorting page. For more information, see Financial Report Builder Sorting Page.
More Options
This page includes the same functions as the Report Builder More Options page, except it does not include the Allow Web Query option. Here, you can define an audience for a custom financial statement and set report-level format options. For more information, see Financial Report Builder More Options Page. Just like other types of reports that you customize in the Report Builder, the Financial Report Builder allows you to preview a custom financial statement before saving it, by clicking the Preview button. (Note that the Preview Layout button is more useful for previewing the report's hierarchy and formatting.) Be sure to save in a timely manner, to avoid losing edits.
Financial Report Builder Edit Layout Page

Most financial statement customization tasks are available on the Edit Layout page of the Financial Report Builder. When you customize a financial statement, you are likely to spend the majority of your time on this page.
This page includes a Layout outline that displays the order and hierarchy of all financial statement rows. In this outline, you also can add, move, and delete financial sections and rows as necessary. Fields in the right pane of this page correspond to the row selected in the Layout outline, marked with a pencil icon.
When you access the Financial Report Builder to create a new custom financial statement,
the displayed layout is a duplicate version of the selected type of financial statement's standard layout. When you access the Financial Report Builder to edit an existing custom financial statement, the displayed layout is the custom layout that was used when the custom financial statement was created or last edited.
If you are using NetSuite OneWorld, the layout displayed in the Financial Report
Builder is based on the subsidiary context you last selected. The selected subsidiary context is displayed at the top of the page. To customize a layout for a different subsidiary context, rerun the financial statement, select the desired subsidiary context from the footer dropdown, click Refresh, and click Customize to restart the Financial Report Builder.

The Edit Layout page of the Financial Report Builder includes a button that you can click to view the financial statement without data.
This function allows you review the appearance of the report more quickly than if you had to wait for data to return. You can view the actual accounts and confirm that financial section criteria are correct. The Financial Report Builder also includes a button, like the one in the Report
Builder, that you can click to run the report with data before saving it.
Important: Be sure to save your custom financial statement in a timely manner, to avoid
losing edits made on the Edit Layout page.
Financial Report Builder Edit Columns Page

On the Edit Columns page of the Financial Report Builder, you can make changes to the columns for a custom financial statement.
The functions available on this page are mostly the same as those available on the Report Builder Edit Columns page Adding, Removing, or Reordering Report Columns. Additional capabilities include:
Adding a Percent of Expense Column to an Income Statement Adding a Percent of Income Column to an Income Statement Adding Budget Columns to Financial Statements Adding Persistent Matrix Columns to Financial Statements Adding Persistent Columns to
Financial Statements Most of your financial statement customizations are likely to be made to rows, and so are done on the Financial Report Builder Edit Layout Page. Column values in financial statement results are rounded to the currency precision, as determined by the format of the company currency, or in NetSuite OneWorld, by the format of the subsidiary base currency. This rounding applies to currency values and non-currency values, including formula column values.
Warning: For performance reasons, a report cannot include more 30 data columns. If
you try to add a 31st column on the Edit Columns page, you will receive an error. It is okay for report results to include more than 30 columns as a result of persistent matrix columns defined in the View Columns By dropdown. See Adding Persistent Matrix Columns to Financial Statements.
Adding a Percent of Expense Column to an Income Statement

You can customize an income statement to include a column that displays the calculated percent of expense for each total row in a selected amount column. This column is added to the right of the amount column. The following formula is used to calculate % of Expense: % of Expense = ( Amount / Total Expense ) * 100 [rounded to the nearest 2 decimal places] By default, Total Expense is the value of the original Expense section of your Income Statement report, because an Expense marker is set on this section. The default Total Expense value excludes the Cost of Goods and Other Expense sections. If you want to use a different row as the basis for the % of Expense calculation, you need to set the Marker field to Expense for that row. This marker can only be set for one row at a time. If you want to include a total of multiple rows in the % of Expense calculation, you can add a formula row to compute this total, and set its Marker field to Expense.
To add a Percent of Expense column to your Income Statement:

1. 2.
Display the income statement in the Financial Report Builder. See Accessing the Financial Report Builder. Determine the row that should have a marker for use as the Total Expense value.
If you want to base the Total Expense value on the default Expense section, skip to
step 5. step 4.
If you want to base the Total Expense value on another Income Statement row, skip to If you want to base the Total Expense value on a computation of multiple row values,
you need add a formula row before you can set the marker. Go to step 3.
3.
To add a formula row computing Total Expense based on multiple row values: 1. Select the row below the place where you want to add a new formula row, and select from the Add Row/Section... dropdown: Add Formula Row. 2. Enter a name for the new row in the Formula Label field. 3. To exclude this row's values from report results, clear the Display Row box. 4. Use the formula builder to enter an expression that computes a total for all of the sections and rows to be included in the Total Expense value. Add each section or row value on a separate line. For each line:
Select an operator. In most cases it will be addition (+), or possibly subtraction

(-).
Select opening parentheses if needed. In the Type field, indicate whether the value is a constant number (Constant)
or a value from another section or row (Row). You will most likely select Row here.
In the Value field, select a section or row, or enter a constant value. Select closing parentheses if needed, and click Done
5. Review the expression displayed at the top of the formula builder for correctness, then make adjustments as necessary. Following is an example layout of a formula row used forTotal Expense in the % of Expense calculation:

Adding a Percent of Income Column to an Income Statement

You can customize an income statement to include a column that displays the calculated percent of income for each total row in a selected amount column. This column is added to the right of the amount column. The following formula is used to calculate % of Income: % of Income = ( Amount / Total Income ) * 100 [rounded to the nearest 2 decimal places]
By default, Total Income is the value of the original Income section of your Income Statement report, because an Income marker is set on this section. The default Total Income value excludes the Other Income section. If you want to use a different row as the basis for the % of Income calculation, you need to set the Marker field to Income for that row. This marker can only be set for one row at a time. If you want to include a total of multiple rows in the % of Income calculation, you can add a formula row to compute this total, and set its Marker field to Income.
To add a Percent of Income column to your Income Statement:

Adding Budget Columns to Financial Statements

On the Financial Report Builder Edit Columns page, budget fields are available as columns to add to all financial statements. You can add budget fields, along with corresponding fields from the Financial folder, to provide budget vs. actual values in your financial statements.
In addition to the Budget folder, a Budget and Financial folder also is available on the Edit Columns page. This folder includes fields corresponding to some of the fields in the Financial folder, but that include both budget and actual values.
Adding Persistent Matrix Columns to Financial Statements

For reports other than financial statements, the only method for adding matrix columns to reports is to select from the Column dropdown in the report footer Adding Matrix Columns to Reports. Matrix columns added through this method apply only to the current report, so you need to repeat the selection each time you run the report. On the Financial Report Builder Edit Columns page, the View Columns By dropdown allows you to select a dimension to be used for matrix columns that persist whenever a custom financial statement is run. Total is the default dimension.
The data for the selected dimension can be displayed in separate columns for each dimension value, or in a hierarchical manner, with child values grouped under parent values within the same columns. To display data hierarchically, select a (Hierarchy) option in the View Columns By dropdown.
Financial Report Builder Filters Page

On the Filters page of the Financial Report Builder, you can make changes to the filters for a custom financial statement. The functions available in this page are the same as those available in the Report Builder Filters page Report Customization, with the added capability of filtering by budget field values in any financial statement. If you select a column from the Budget folder, the filter you define is applied to budget values only; if you select a column from the Financial folder, the filter is applied to actual values only; if you select a column from Budget and Financial subfolders, the filter is applied to both budget and actual values.
For most custom financial statements, you do not need to use this page. You can define grouping and selection criteria for financial sections on the Financial Report Builder Edit Layout Page to perform the filtering that you require. For information, see Working with Financial Statement Sections. The Filters page is available if you need to define filters that apply to the whole report rather than to particular sections.
Note: Financial statements, like other reports, include dropdowns in their results page
footers that allow you to filter results for a single report instance.
Financial Report Builder Sorting Page

Important: For financial statements, it is recommended that you define sorting at the row
and financial section level on the Financial Report Builder Edit Layout Page, rather than on the Sorting page. On the Sorting page of the Financial Report Builder, you can make changes to the sorting for a custom financial statement. The functions available in this page are the same as those available in the Report Builder Sorting page Sorting Data on Reports, with the added capability of sorting by budget field values in any financial statement. It is recommended that instead of the Sorting page, you use the sorting capabilities provided on the Financial Report Builder Edit Layout Page. On this page, you can reorder rows, and you can define grouping and sort order for financial sections, based on accounts, class, department, location, or if you are using NetSuite OneWorld, subsidiary. These sorting options override the sorting defined on the Sorting page. For information, see Working with Financial Statement Sections.
Financial Report Builder More Options Page

On the More Options page of the Financial Report Builder, you can:
Define an audience for a custom financial statement. Enter a description of a custom financial statement. Set report-level format options for a custom financial statement, including the following: (Income Statements only) Indicate whether report data should be on a cash basis
or accrual basis. This option defaults to the setting for the Cash Basis Reporting preference set at Setup > Accounting > Accounting Preferences. For information, see the help topic Setting Up Cash Basis Reporting.
Indicate whether rows with a zero balance should be displayed. Indicate whether only transactions completed in the Web store should be included. Indicate whether only accounts that had activity during the report range should be
included.

Important: The Allow Web Query option is not available for financial statements.
Working with Financial Statement Layouts

To enable multiple financial statements to share a consistent appearance and the same set of rows, while displaying different columns and/or differently filtered data, financial statement
row definition information is stored in objects called layouts, rather than in the reports themselves. Because you define a set of included financial sections and rows, their order and hierarchy, and row-level formatting as a layout, rather than as a report, you can reuse this definition across multiple financial statements, by assigning the same layout to them. NetSuite provides a set of standard layouts for all types of financial statements. When you create a custom financial statement, the edits you make on the Financial Report Builder's Edit Layout page are stored in a custom layout. A custom layout begins as a duplicate version of one of the standard layouts, and is modified as you make edits to its financial sections and rows. Review the following topics for information about working with layouts:
New Financial Report - Select Financial Statement Page Selecting an Alternate Layout in the Financial Report Builder Making a Layout Editable in the Financial Report Builder Editing a Financial Statement Layout Financial Row Layouts Page Renaming a Custom Financial Statement Layout Financial Reports: Row Layout Assignment Page Assigning a Layout to a Financial Statement
Note: If you use NetSuite OneWorld, specialized country-specific layouts are available for
each subsidiary's financial statements. The layout selected on the Edit Layout page of the Financial Report Builder when you customize a financial statement is based on the last selected subsidiary context. For more information, see Working with Subsidiary-Specific Financial Layouts.
New Financial Report - Select Financial Statement Page

This page, a listing of standard financial statement layouts, displays when you select Reports > New Financial Report. This page allows you to select the type of financial statement that you want to create in the Financial Report Builder. A standard layout is provided for each type of financial statement.
Click the layout for the type of custom financial statement that you want to create. A custom layout that duplicates the selected layout displays in the Financial Report Builder Edit Layout Page.
Note: If you use NetSuite OneWorld, country-specific layouts are available for Balance
Sheet, Cash Flow Statement, and Income Statement reports. Be aware that selecting a country-specific layout does not automatically set a matching subsidiary context for your custom financial statement. The subsidiary context for a custom financial statement, displayed in the Financial Report Builder, is based on the subsidiary context selected when the report was last run. For more information, see Working with Subsidiary-Specific Financial Layouts.
Selecting an Alternate Layout in the Financial Report Builder

When you access the Financial Report Builder to create a new custom financial statement, the displayed layout is a duplicate version of the selected type of financial statement's standard layout. When you access the Financial Report Builder to edit an existing custom financial statement, the displayed layout is the custom layout that was used when the custom financial statement was created or last edited. In both cases, you have the option of selecting a different layout from the Layout dropdown. For example, you may want to select a previously created custom layout to use for a new custom financial statement. Be aware that each layout includes all customizations made on the Edit Layout page, so choosing an alternate layout for an existing custom financial statement can result in significant changes. The layout you select may not be immediately editable. If editing functions are not enabled on the Edit Layout page after this selection, you need to click the Edit Layout button. See Making a Layout Editable in the Financial Report Builder.
Note: If you are using NetSuite OneWorld, the layout displayed in the Financial Report
Builder is based on the subsidiary context you last selected. The selected subsidiary context is displayed at the top of the page. To customize a layout for a different subsidiary context, rerun the financial statement, select the desired subsidiary context from the footer dropdown, click Refresh, and click Customize to restart the Financial Report Builder. See Working with Subsidiary-Specific Financial Layouts.
Making a Layout Editable in the Financial Report Builder

Whenever you start the Financial Report Builder, a layout is displayed in the Edit Layout page. You have the option of selecting another layout from the Layout dropdown. The layout on the Edit Layout page may be a standard layout, a shared custom layout (meaning it is used in multiple custom financial statements), or a non-shared custom layout (meaning it is used only in a single custom financial statement. When you customize a standard financial statement, its standard layout is duplicated automatically, so you can immediately begin editing. Standard layouts are never editable and shared custom layouts are not immediately editable, so when one of these is displayed on the Edit Layout page, all editing functions are disabled. To enable editing functions, you need to click the Edit Layout button.
When you click the Edit Layout button for a standard layout, you are indicating that you want to create a custom layout that duplicates the standard layout. A popup displays, asking you to provide a name for the new custom layout. Default naming convention is: Custom <Standard_Layout_Name>. When you click the Edit Layout button for a shared custom layout, you are indicating that you want to make changes to this layout. A popup displays, asking whether you want to edit the shared layout or create a duplicate to be edited and saved with a different name. Once you have clicked OK in the Edit Layout popup, editing functions are enabled. (If this button is grayed out, editing is already enabled.)
Editing a Financial Statement Layout

A financial statement layout is a set of definitions for financial sections and rows. Each layout can be shared among multiple financial statements. When you create a custom financial statement, most of your customizations are to the statement's assigned layout. You can make changes to a layout on the Financial Report Builder Edit Layout Page.

Working with Financial Statement Sections

A financial section is a subset of financial data in a financial statement. Each financial section consists of a header row that includes a description of the section, account rows that display data amounts, and a total row that displays the total amount for the section. The following screenshot points out rows in the Bank section of a standard Balance Sheet:
Note that if a user collapses a section, only its header row displays, with header text and the amount from the total row:
The following screenshot illustrates the editing of the Bank section in the Financial Report Builder:
For standard financial statements, each financial section corresponds to an account type, and section data rows are grouped and sorted by account number. The criteria used for section data are dynamic, so that when a financial statement is run, each section includes data for all accounts of the selected type. This method of defining section criteria is preferable to using static lists of accounts. Dynamic criteria ensure that all necessary accounts are included in a financial section, and are particularly useful for including newly created accounts. When you create custom financial statements, you can define custom sections that are based on criteria other than account type. These criteria may include account name, account number, class, department, location, and subsidiary. See Creating a Custom Financial Statement Section. You can make many other changes to sections in custom financial statements, including changing their grouping, sorting, hierarchy, expansion, labels, and format options. See Editing a Financial Statement Section. The Financial Report Builder also allows you to add new sections to a custom financial statement. See Adding a Section to a Custom Financial Statement. If you use NetSuite OneWorld, you can filter and group section data by subsidiary. See Organizing Financial Statement Data by Subsidiary.
Creating a Custom Financial Statement Section

On the Financial Report Builder's Edit Layout page, you can create a custom section by adding a new section with new selection criteria, or by editing selection criteria for an existing section,
causing a duplicate section to be created. Selection criteria define the accounts to be included in a financial statement section. Be aware of the following limitations for custom sections:
To avoid unexpected results, do not define overlapping criteria for two or more custom If you create a custom Cash Flow Statement that includes custom sections, its value for

If an account fits the criteria for more than one section, the system determines the account's section, which may not be the one you expect. the Cash at Beginning of Period row is likely to be incorrect, unless you create a custom Cash Statement that shares these custom sections and make that custom Cash Statement the referenced report for the Cash at Beginning of Period row. See Customizing Cash Flow Statement Account Sections. department, location, class, and/or subsidiary filtered values on multiple lines, because a financial statement cannot display values for an identical account multiple times. In order to avoid incorrect totals, the statement displays correct values the first time the account is listed, and displays zeroes for later listings of the same account. For example, this issue may occur when accounts are filtered by a department that is a parent of one or more other departments.
Be careful that section filtering does not result in a duplicate combination of account,

When you edit selection criteria for a section, you are creating a new section. See Creating a Custom Financial Statement Section.
To edit a section:
1. 2. 3.
Start the Financial Report Builder, and ensure an editable custom layout is selected in the Edit Layout page. For information, see Accessing the Financial Report Builder. In the Layout outline, select the section that you want to edit. Complete any of the following tasks:
Editing Financial Section Labels Modifying Financial Section Hierarchy Modifying Financial Section Row Expansion Modifying Financial Section Grouping Modifying Financial Section Sort Order Modifying Financial Section Format Options
Note: If you want to use a section to calculate % of Expense or % of Income column
values for a custom income statement, set its Marker field to Expense or Income. See Adding a Percent of Expense Column to an Income Statement or Adding a Percent of Income Column to an Income Statement.
Editing Financial Section Labels

You can:
Edit the section's Header Label, meaning the text in the section's header row. Choose whether to display the Header row. To hide this row, clear the Display Row box. Edit the section's Total Label, meaning the text in the section's total row that lists the total
amount for the section. If this field is left blank, the default label Total - <Header Label> is displayed.
Choose whether to display the total row. To hide this row, clear the Display Row box.
Modifying Financial Section Hierarchy

You can change a financial section's placement in the report hierarchy, by selecting a different row in the Child Of dropdown. The section is moved under the row you select here, as reflected in the Layout outline at left.
Or, you can drag and drop a financial section in the Layout outline in order to change its hierarchy.
Modifying Financial Section Row Expansion

You can indicate the expansion of financial section data, by selecting from the Display dropdown:
Expanded - the section is displayed in expanded format, showing all rows; viewers can
collapse it. This is the default.
Collapsed - the section is displayed in collapsed format, showing just a header row with a
summary amount; viewers can expand it.
Cannot Expand - the section is displayed in collapsed format; viewers cannot expand it.
Modifying Financial Section Grouping

By default, financial section data are grouped by accounts.
You can select from the Group By dropdown to change this primary grouping to be
by class, department, location, customer/project, item, or if you are using NetSuite OneWorld, subsidiary. accounts, class, department, location, customer/project, item, or subsidiary.
You also can set an optional, secondary grouping in the Then By dropdown, to be by
The Show Hierarchy check boxes next to the Group By and Then By dropdowns indicate whether full hierarchical names are used for group labels and sort order. Full hierarchical names are in the format of grandparent : parent : child. Non-hierarchical, or flat, names include only the child. By default, these boxes are checked and full hierarchical names are used. The following screenshot illustrates the use of full hierarchical names for section data grouped by subsidiary:
The following screenshot illustrates the use of non-hierarchical names for section data grouped by subsidiary:
Be aware of how grouping interacts with filtering to select accounts for a section. Be careful that your custom financial statement does not include multiple lines with a duplicate combination of account, department, location, class, customer/project, item, and/or subsidiary filtered values, because a financial statement cannot display values for an identical account multiple times. In order to avoid incorrect totals, the statement displays correct values the first time the account is listed, and displays zeroes for later listings of the same account.
Modifying Financial Section Sort Order

Within each grouping of financial section data, you can define the sort order of account rows on the Order subtab. Note that if you have defined a secondary grouping, two Order subtabs are provided.
For grouping by accounts, available sort orders include:
Account Name Ascending Account Name Descending Account Number Ascending Account Number Descending Custom
For grouping by class, department, location, item, or subsidiary, available sort orders include:
Ascending Descending Custom

For grouping by customer/project, available sort orders include:
Customer/Project Name Ascending Customer/Project Name Descending Customer/Project Number Ascending Customer/Project Number Descending
Custom
The Custom sort order allows you to manually set the order of data rows. For example, you could set the order so that all new accounts display at the end of the section.
Note: If a list used for grouping includes more than 200 records, the list truncated and
custom sort order is not supported. This scenario is most likely to occur when grouping by item or customer/project.
Modifying Financial Section Format Options

You can modify the formatting of text, lines, and background color for section rows, including the header row that displays a description of the section, account rows that display data amounts, and the total row that displays the total amount for the section. Note that the same format options are applied to all account rows in a section. You also can indicate whether to show currency symbols, reverse signs, or include text, such as USD, before or after amounts for the account rows and total row. You can make these edits on the Format subtab.
Note: Enabling the Reverse Sign option for a row affects all dynamic total calculations that
include that row's value. For more information, see Setting Financial Statement Formatting Options.
Adding a Section to a Custom Financial Statement

You can add sections to a custom financial statement. An added section can be:
a standard section defined by NetSuite an existing custom section that has been designated as shared by its creator, meaning it
can be used by any custom financial statement
a new custom section that you create

Warning: To prevent unexpected results, do not add two or more different sections
with overlapping criteria to a single financial statement. If an account fits the criteria for more than one section, the system determines the account's section, which may not be the one you expect.
To add a section to a custom financial statement:

1.
Start the Financial Report Builder, and ensure an editable custom layout is selected in the Edit Layout page. For information, see Accessing the Financial Report Builder. In the Layout outline, select the row above which you want to insert the new section. (Note that you also can use the or arrow buttons, or drag and drop the section to move it after it is added.)

Editing Financial Statement Header and Summary Rows

In NetSuite financial statements, header rows and their linked summary rows are used to aggregate related rows of data. The header row appears above its set of child rows and usually contains descriptive text. The summary row appears below the set of rows and summarizes the row amounts. This summary can be a dynamic total that adds all row amounts, or a calculation based on a more complex formula.
The following screenshot points out header rows and their linked summary rows. These header rows differ from section header rows in that they do not include their own account rows, but instead group data from other rows.
To edit header and summary rows:

Setting the Subsidiary Context for a Financial Statement

If you use NetSuite OneWorld, the Subsidiary Context dropdown in the footer of a financial statement allows you to filter report data by subsidiary.
Working with OneWorld Financial Statements 70 Setting the Subsidiary Context for a Financial Statement
By default, each report displays data for the top-level, or root-parent, subsidiary. Select from the Subsidiary Context dropdown to display data for a different subsidiary. Note that elimination subsidiaries are available as options. Select an option appended with (Consolidated) to display data for all child subsidiaries of the consolidated parent subsidiary, including elimination subsidiaries.
Note: If you have not set consolidated rates, NetSuite uses an exchange rate of 1.
In addition to filtering data, the subsidiary context also determines the layout for report rows: and the currency for amounts:
The layout associated with the selected subsidiary is applied to the report. For more
information, see Working with Subsidiary-Specific Financial Layouts.
The currency amounts show in the base currency of the selected subsidiary. Consolidated
rates are used if the subsidiaries shown on the report have different base currencies. For more information, see the help topics Using Consolidated Exchange Rates and Applying Consolidated Exchange Rates to Reports.
Working with OneWorld Financial Statements 71 Working with Subsidiary-Specific Financial Layouts
After you have selected a subsidiary context, this selection is maintained each time you rerun the report, until you change the subsidiary context again.
Working with Subsidiary-Specific Financial Layouts

If you use NetSuite OneWorld, NetSuite provides specialized country-specific layouts for each subsidiary's financial statements. When you customize a financial statement in the Financial Report Builder, the most recently used subsidiary context for that report, and its associated layout, are selected for your custom report. The selected subsidiary context and its associated layout display on the Edit Layout page. For example, if you run the Balance Sheet report and select the Australian subsidiary as the subsidiary context in the footer, then customize the Balance Sheet in the Financial Report Builder, the Australian subsidiary is listed as the subsidiary context and the Australian Balance Sheet layout is used.
If you then want to customize a balance sheet for a different subsidiary, you need to first rerun the report and select a new subsidiary context. Selecting a new layout from the Layout dropdown on the Financial Report Builder Edit Layout page does not change the subsidiary context, but instead assigns the new layout to the currently displayed subsidiary.
To customize a OneWorld financial statement using the correct subsidiary context and layout:
1. 2. 3. 4.
Run the selected financial statement. In the footer of the report, select a subsidiary context. Click the Refresh button. Click the Customize button to access the Financial Report Builder.
The above steps are the recommended method for customizing a OneWorld financial statement. If you access the Financial Report Builder via the menu at Reports > New Financial Report or Reports > Financial > Report_Name > Customize, the most recently selected subsidiary context, which may not be your desired subsidiary context, is selected.

Working with OneWorld Financial Statements 73 Understanding Cumulative Translation Adjustment (CTA)
For more information about defining filtering, grouping, and sorting for financial statement sections, see Working with Financial Statement Sections.
Understanding Cumulative Translation Adjustment (CTA)

Cumulative Translation Adjustment (CTA) is a special type of account that is required for consolidated balance sheets in OneWorld accounts with multi-currency enabled. The CTA is used on the consolidated balance sheet to make it balance. This account is necessary because the rate types of the accounts on the balance sheet may differ, resulting in different rates being used that can cause an imbalance. To prevent the CTA from hiding errors or other problems on the balance sheet, it is calculated for each account and then totaled in the CTA account section. Balance sheet reports include a column titled Trans. Adj. This column shows the difference between the rate that is used on each account and the current rate. The CTA is also used wherever consolidation across accounts with different rate types occurs, such as the consolidated trial balance.
Important: The consolidated cash flow statement includes a row, called Effect of
Exchange Rate on Cash, that adjusts for the effects of rate differences in cash flow statement accounts and ensures that the cash flow statement's Cash at End of Period is consistent with the balance sheet's Bank or cash equivalent. The Effect of Exchange Rate on Cash row includes amounts that may not be posted to the CTA account. See Cash Flow Statement Report.
CTA Account Record

When you use the Multiple Currencies feature in a NetSuite OneWorld account, the CTA is included as an account in the chart of accounts. You cannot delete the account, and the following fields on the account record are not editable:
General Rate Type Cash Flow Rate Type Subaccount of Restrict To Department Restrict to Class Restrict to Location Subsidiary
The CTA is used solely for balancing consolidated balance sheets. The CTA cannot be selected on items, tax codes, nexus records, when setting up credit card processing, or on most transactions. The CTA is available for selection on journal entries.
Example Use of CTA in Balance Sheet

In the sample hierarchy below, you are rolling up the balances from Wolfe UK into the Wolfe US consolidated parent. The appropriate rate for each account is used to roll up the balances into US dollars.
The Wolfe UK balance sheet looks like the following:

Amount (GBP) Assets Liabilities Retained Earnings Equity Balance in GBP 250 (100) (100) (50) 0 Rate Type Current Current Average Historical Rate 2 2 2.5 3 Calculation 250*2 100*2 100*2.5 50*3 CTA Consolidated Amount (USD) $500 ($200) ($250) ($150) ($100)
The balance sheet always balances in the local currency. However, since the rates for equity and retained earnings are different than those of assets and liabilities, the consolidated balance sheet does not balance. The CTA equals the amount that it takes to balance the consolidated balance sheet. In this example, the CTA is ($100).
Auditing CTA Calculation

To help you audit the calculation of CTA, you can customize many reports to include the Transaction Adjustment field and show you the CTA for each account. For example, if you were running a consolidated balance sheet and have these exchange rates for pound to US dollar:
current 2 average 2.6 historical 1.8

The consolidated balance sheet would show the following data:
Working with OneWorld Financial Statements 76 Running Subsidiary-Specific Budget Reports
Account Assets (current rate) Liabilities (current rate) Net Income (average rate) OE (historical rate) CTA Total
Amount (GBP) 125 75 25 25
Amount (USD) $250 $150 $65 $45
Rate 2 2 2.6 1.8
Trans. Adj. 0 0 15 -5 10
CTA Calculation (2*125) - (2*125) (2*75) - (2*75) (2.6*25) - (2*25) (1.8*25) - (2*25)
Running Subsidiary-Specific Budget Reports

In OneWorld financial statements, you can choose to display standalone data for a single subsidiary, or consolidated data for multiple related subsidiaries. (See Setting the Subsidiary Context for a Financial Statement.) In financial statements used for budgeting purposes, you also can choose whether to display actual and budget amounts in a selected subsidiary's local currency, or in a parent subsidiary's currency. For example, if your European subsidiary is a child of your UK subsidiary, which is a child of the root-parent US subsidiary, you can choose to run a budget report for the European subsidiary in euros, pounds, or US dollars. To run budget reports with meaningful data in local subsidiaries' currencies, your account must meet the following prerequisites:
Multiple Currencies and Multiple Budgets features must be enabled. At least one budget category must be set up with a Local budget type. Consolidated Exchange Rates and Budget Exchange Rates tables must be populated. Budget(s) for the local subsidiary(ies) must be set up.
For information about setting up these prerequisites, see the help topic Budgeting for Subsidiaries in OneWorld. NetSuite financial statements include the following reports specifically designed for budgeting purposes: Budget Income Statement, Budget Income Statement Detail, and Budget vs. Actual. In addition, you can add budget columns to any other financial statement, in order to use it for budgeting purposes. In the results page footer for any of these reports, you can use the Budget Category, Subsidiary Context, and/or Subsidiary dropdowns to indicate the currency to use for displayed amounts.

Default Subsidiary Budget Settings for Financial Statements

If the Multiple Budgets feature is enabled in your account, then by default, financial statements with budget data include the following settings in the results page footer:
The Budget Category is set to Legacy, indicating that budgeting is done on a global basis,
and that the report should include consolidated data for all subsidiaries, in the currency of the root-parent subsidiary. changed. This setting applies whenever the selected Budget Category has a Global budget type.
The Subsidiary Context is set to be the consolidated root-parent subsidiary, and cannot be
For example, if the root-parent subsidiary is in the US, a report with these settings would display data for all subsidiaries rolled up to the consolidated totals for the US subsidiary and all its sub-subsidiaries, in US dollars.
Displaying a Subsidiary's Amounts in its Local Currency

In a financial statement with budget data, you can display amounts for a single subsidiary in its local currency, with settings like the following:
Run the report, and in the results page footer: 1. Select a Budget Category that has a Local budget type. 2. Set the Subsidiary Context to be the subsidiary for which you want to display data. 3. Click Refresh. For example, if you select a Budget Category of UK Budgeting, and a Subsidiary Context of a UK subsidiary, the report displays data for the UK subsidiary, in British Pounds.
Displaying a Subsidiary's Amounts in a Parent Subsidiary's Currency

In a financial statement with budget data, you can display amounts for a single subsidiary in a parent subsidiary's currency, with settings like the following:
Run the report, and in the results page footer: 1. Select a Budget Category that has a Local budget type. 2. Set the Subsidiary Context, to determine the currency used for amounts. This selection can be any level of parent, including the root-parent, but MUST be consolidated. 3. Click to display additional dropdowns.
4. Set the Subsidiary to be the subsidiary for which you want to display data. 5. Click Refresh. For example, if you select a Budget Category of EURO Budgeting, a Subsidiary Context of the consolidated European subsidiary, and a Subsidiary of a UK subsidiary, the report displays data for the UK subsidiary, in Euros.
Modifying Exchange Rates Used for Consolidated Amounts

Default conversion for consolidated data uses the Budget Exchange Rates table for budget amounts, and the Consolidated Exchange Rates table for actual amounts. You can change this default behavior for a report, by modifying its Amount columns on the Edit Columns page of the Financial Report Builder.
To modify exchange rates used for consolidated amounts:

1.
Start the Financial Report Builder for the report where you want to modify the exchange rates used for consolidated data. For instructions, see Accessing the Financial Report Builder. Click Edit Columns. If you want to change the rates table used for conversion of budget amounts, expand the Budget folder in the Add Fields pane. 1. Notice the following fields:
