SuiteTax Latam Engine Installation Prerequisites

SuiteTax Latam Engine requires a OneWorld account and seven enabled features before installation. Review Company, Accounting, Tax, and SuiteCloud under Enable Features, then save the configuration. This checklist covers account preparation only: the source does not describe a release-specific change, installation steps, or plug-in configuration.

What Must Be Ready Before Installation?

Oracle lists two prerequisites for installing the SuiteTax Latam Engine SuiteApp: use a OneWorld account and enable the required NetSuite features. Treat these as separate checks. Completing the feature checklist does not replace the account requirement.

OneWorld supports multinational, multicompany operations, including financials, customer management, ecommerce, Services Resource Planning, business intelligence, and tax and compliance management. For financial operations, it supports local adjustments for currency, taxation, and legal compliance alongside regional and global consolidation.

For installation planning, the actionable point is account eligibility: confirm OneWorld before working through the feature settings. The prerequisite documentation does not identify a NetSuite version in which these requirements were introduced, so this checklist should not be read as a release-change notice.

Which Settings Must Be Enabled?

Go to Setup > Company > Enable Features. Review the following seven checkboxes across four subtabs:

After selecting the required boxes, click Save. Saving is the final step in Oracle’s feature-enablement procedure; the checklist does not end with selecting the boxes.

The source does not specify default values for these settings. As a practical readiness check, inspect the account’s configuration rather than assuming any required feature is already enabled.

Are Both Tax Settings Required?

Yes. Oracle lists Advanced Taxes and SuiteTax together on the Tax subtab, not as alternatives. A review limited to SuiteTax would leave another documented requirement unchecked.

The same distinction applies on SuiteCloud: Client SuiteScript and Server SuiteScript are separate entries, and Custom Records is also required. Checking one scripting feature does not complete that subtab’s prerequisite list.

How Should Teams Review Installation Readiness?

Use the documented requirements as a preparation checklist:

1. Confirm OneWorld. Keep account eligibility separate from feature configuration.
2. Review all four subtabs. Checking Tax alone does not cover Company, Accounting, or SuiteCloud.
3. Select the required boxes and save. Follow the procedure through its final step.
4. Verify the saved selections. As a practical validation step, recheck all seven settings before proceeding.
5. Separate readiness from installation. Completing these checks addresses prerequisites, not the installation procedure itself.

Oracle identifies installation, roles and permissions, plug-in enablement, and best practices and known limitations as separate help topics. The supplied text does not provide permission requirements, plug-in setup instructions, or post-installation tax-calculation tests. Those details cannot be inferred from the feature list.

Who This Affects

• Administrators: Use the checklist to confirm OneWorld eligibility and review the required feature settings before installation.
• Developers and technical implementers: Include Custom Records and both SuiteScript settings in readiness reviews; do not overlook them while checking the tax features.
• Tax and localization teams: Coordinate prerequisite verification without treating it as evidence that installation or tax testing is complete. For additional reading, see the Brazil Reports separate installation prerequisites.

Where Is Translated Documentation Available?

Brazilian Portuguese documentation is available through the SuiteTax Latam Engine Portuguese PDF in NetSuite Help. For Spanish documentation, select Español (Latinoamérica) from the dropdown at the top-right corner of the NetSuite Help Center.

These documentation-access options are separate from the Multi-Language checkbox, which Oracle lists as an account prerequisite.

Key Takeaways

• Confirm OneWorld eligibility before installing SuiteTax Latam Engine.
• Enable all seven listed features across Company, Accounting, Tax, and SuiteCloud, then save.
• Both tax checkboxes and both SuiteScript checkboxes are required.
• Treat this as a prerequisite checklist, not a release-change notice or a complete installation guide.
