Website Specific Customers Configuration in NetSuite

Website specific customers in OneWorld must be linked to an online subsidiary for login access.

·1 min read·View Oracle Docs

For companies utilizing NetSuite OneWorld, it's essential to note that a customer must be associated with a website that corresponds to a subsidiary marked as online.

Understanding Subsidiary Requirements

For instance, consider a scenario with two subsidiaries: Subsidiary A and Subsidiary B. If Subsidiary B is the only one marked online and linked to Website B, customers assigned to Subsidiary A will face login restrictions. These customers will not be able to access Website B if the Assigned Web Site field is set to B or left empty.

Enabling Customer Access

To allow a customer linked to Subsidiary A to log into Website B, it is crucial that Subsidiary A is also marked online in NetSuite. This configuration ensures proper access and management of customers across different online platforms.

Best Practice Tips:

  • Always verify the status of your subsidiaries before setting up customer access.
  • Keep the website alignment in check to prevent access issues.
  • Regularly update your subsidiary configurations as business needs evolve.
