Exception Management in NetSuite 2025.2

What's New in Exception Management

Starting in NetSuite 2025.2, the Exception Management feature has been introduced to streamline how exceptions in accounting are handled. This functionality requires the Accounting Periods feature to be enabled prior to activation. With Exception Management, users can efficiently track and manage exceptions, specifically focusing on a new exception type: Vendor Information Change. This enhancement aims to provide better oversight and control in accounting processes.

Accessing the Exception Management Dashboard

To access the Exception Management dashboard, follow these steps:

Navigate to Lists > Accounting > Exception Management.
Optionally, add the Exception Management portlet to your Home dashboard for quick access.

Note: Ensure you have the appropriate Exception Management permission (either View or Full) to access this feature. The visibility of exceptions is also dependent on your role's Subsidiary and Transaction Type permissions. You will only be able to see exceptions related to the subsidiaries and transaction types permitted for your role.

New Exception Type: Vendor Information Change

One significant enhancement in this release is the addition of a new exception type focusing on Vendor Information Change. This allows accounting staff to promptly identify and address discrepancies in vendor data, which can prevent costly errors and ensure the integrity of financial records.
