Review of  NetSuite Subsidiary Navigator

This one is super simple but it’s a game-changer for multi-subsidiary OneWorld organisations.

Subsidiary Navigator gives you an interact-able custom portlet on your NetSuite Dashboard that shows you your subsidiary structure in a roll-up.

When you click on a specific subsidiary it sets your current Dashboard metrics to show just those from that subsidiary.

This allows you to quickly set your Dashboard context to any of your business units, a roll-up of those business units, or your business as a whole.

Clicking a subsidiary on the Subsidiary Navigator updates your KPI’s, Saved Searches, and Reminders in your Dashboard to reflect just that business unit or roll-up.

We always recommend that SuiteApp be installed, configured, and trained on for a OneWorld user.
