Role-Based Permissions for Get Subsidiaries Tool in NetSuite

The Get Subsidiaries tool in NetSuite allows you to list subsidiaries based on your account structure, crucial for filtering reports. While it does not require specific permissions to access in the AI client, visibility into the data it returns is determined by your role's permissions.

Tool Overview

The Get Subsidiaries tool is designed to enhance reporting by providing a list of subsidiaries available for your account. If your account includes subsidiaries, the tool will return the subsidiary name and its internal ID, distinguishing between individual subsidiaries with positive IDs and consolidated subsidiaries with negative IDs. In accounts without subsidiaries, the list will be empty.

When you run a report that uses a subsidiary filter, the tool helps verify which subsidiaries are available, ensuring that your reporting remains accurate and relevant.

Permissions

While no explicit permission is needed to access the Get Subsidiaries tool within the AI client, the extent of data accessible to you is governed by the privileges associated with your role in NetSuite. It is essential to ensure that your role has suitable permissions configured to benefit fully from this tool.
