Background & Requirements
The Challenge
Centralizing customer statement distribution across global business units with distinct requirements.
Managing customer statements across a large multi-subsidiary environment can become complex when customers and subsidiaries have different requirements for statement timing, transaction selection, language, formatting, and calculation rules.
The requirement was to create a centralized and scalable automation process capable of generating statements based on configurable criteria while supporting regional variations across nearly 40 subsidiaries.
Invoice-Only or Combined Statements
Need to include either open invoices only or open invoices with credit memos.
Customer-Level Configuration
Individual customer preferences governing opt-in, formatting, and timing.
Multi-Subsidiary Processing
Managing statements across nearly 40 subsidiaries in a single enterprise framework.
Regional Language & Formatting
Subsidiary-specific currency symbols, languages, and regional rules.
Scheduled Automated Distribution
Background execution without manual intervention or script timeout risks.
Architecture & Workflow
The Solution
Configurable framework leveraging custom customer fields, saved searches, SuiteScript 2.x, and Map/Reduce.
A configurable NetSuite automation framework was developed using custom customer fields, saved searches, SuiteScript 2.x, and Map/Reduce processing.
Customer-level fields control how statements are generated, while a saved search dynamically identifies eligible customers. The Map/Reduce process then applies the required logic and generates statements dynamically.
