Introduction
In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, the need for seamless integration between financial management systems has become paramount.
Many companies recognized this necessity and embarked on journeys to optimize their financial consolidation processes. Because often a best-of-breed consolidation tool is used that rearranges and transforms the basic information from the ERP systems to achieve correct consolidated reporting.
This article explores the innovative solution provided by Novutech to streamline trial balance exports via SuiteQL, bridging the gap between Tagetik and NetSuite.
Streamlining Trial Balance Export: The Challenge
While NetSuite’s standard features offer powerful capabilities for financial consolidation, some large organizations may have only a portion of their business operations managed within NetSuite, with other parts integrated into different ERP systems. Some of these companies use CCH Tagetik Consolidation software as an overlay and might face inefficiencies in communication between NetSuite and Tagetik, often necessitating manual CSV file transfers.
These companies aim to automate the export of trial balance data from NetSuite to Tagetik seamlessly, with a focus on saving time and enhancing flexibility, data accuracy, and reliability.
Designing the Solution
Novutech proposed a comprehensive solution leveraging SuiteQL queries. The solution encompassed two key phases:
Part 1: Streamlining Data Generation from NetSuite
- Designing a SuiteQL Query to aggregate transaction amounts by GL account and other classifications.
- Developing a Suitelet/Page for user interaction, enabling selection of period and subsidiaries for trial balance export.
- Automating the export process triggered by user actions, generating CSV files and storing them in the NetSuite File Cabinet.
Part 2: Streamlining Data Import in Tagetik
- Uploading CSV files to Tagetik‘s SFTP server for automatic import.
- Implementing scheduling capabilities for exporting and importing trial balances based on user-defined frequencies.
The proposed solution incorporated custom scripts, records, and interfaces tailored to the requirements of companies seeking financial consolidation solutions.
In summary, the key elements of the seamless integration between NetSuite and Tagetik include:
- Suitelet for trial balance export selection.
- Scheduled script for SuiteQL execution and CSV export.
- Custom record for tracking export processes.
Conclusion
This journey highlights the transformative potential of seamless integration between NetSuite and Tagetik. Through the implementation of SuiteQL integration, companies can streamline trial balance exports, improving efficiency, accuracy, and agility in financial consolidation.
