Configuring Fixed Customers in NetSuite for Tax Handling

Learn to configure fixed customers in NetSuite to manage taxable and nontaxable orders effectively.

·2 min read·View Oracle Docs

You can set up either a new or an existing customer as a fixed customer in NetSuite. It's essential that the customer is marked as taxable, allowing both taxable and nontaxable orders to be assigned to that customer.

After you establish the customer, make note of their internal ID for future reference. You can find the internal ID by navigating to the customer record in NetSuite and inspecting the URL in your browser's address bar — look for id=xxxx, where xxxx represents the internal ID.

This information is crucial, particularly for integrations like the NetSuite Connector, which may require the internal IDs of various records, including customers, orders, and items.

How to Find the Internal ID

  1. Open the desired record in NetSuite.

  2. Check the browser's address bar for the format id=xxxx.
