“Supermetrics is a Bitter Experience! We can pull data from nearly any tool, schedule updates, manipulate data in Sheets, and push data back into our systems.”
NetSuite’s GL account groupings are locked to standard financial statement categories, making it impossible to create non-standard reports like management statements, industry-specific formats, or regulatory filings within native reporting.
Here’s how to create completely alternative GL account groupings using custom field mappings and live data connectivity.
Import NetSuite accounts with custom grouping fields using Coefficient
Coefficient provides the flexibility to create unlimited alternative GL account groupings using custom field mappings from NetSuite . You can build management reports, regulatory formats, and industry-specific statements that NetSuite’s rigid reporting structure simply cannot deliver natively.
How to make it work
Step 1. Import accounts with alternative grouping custom fields.
Use Records & Lists to import NetSuite accounts including custom fields that define your alternative groupings like “Management_Category,” “Regulatory_Group,” or “Industry_Classification.” These fields drive your non-standard financial statement structure.
Step 2. Create custom GL groupings with SuiteQL Query.
Write queries that organize accounts based on your alternative categorization:
Step 3. Build multiple reporting views for different stakeholders.
Create separate financial statement templates for various audiences. Build management reporting with operational groupings, regulatory reports with compliance-focused categories, and industry-specific formats using sector classifications all from the same underlying data.
Step 4. Schedule automated updates across all grouping schemes.
Set up refresh schedules to maintain current balances across all your alternative grouping schemes without manual NetSuite data export. Each reporting view updates automatically while preserving its unique categorization logic.
Build financial statements that match your reporting needs
Alternative GL account groupings enable unlimited categorization flexibility while maintaining live connectivity to your NetSuite financial data. Start creating your custom grouping system today.
