“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 native reporting has significant limitations for multi-entity consolidation including rigid report formats, limited customization options, poor performance with multiple subsidiaries, restricted calculation capabilities, and inflexible data presentation that doesn’t accommodate complex consolidation requirements.
Here’s how to gain complete freedom from NetSuite’s reporting constraints while maintaining live data connectivity for sophisticated consolidation workflows.
Access unlimited report customization with direct data extraction using Coefficient
Coefficient effectively bypasses these NetSuite reporting limitations by providing direct access to underlying data and unlimited flexibility for custom consolidation workflows. The key advantage is complete freedom from NetSuite’s reporting constraints while maintaining live data connectivity.
You can create consolidation reports that exactly match your business requirements, handle unique scenarios that NetSuite’s standard reports cannot accommodate, and process multi-entity data more efficiently than NetSuite’s native consolidation tools allow.
How to make it work
Step 1. Extract raw financial and operational data without formatting constraints.
Use Records & Lists or SuiteQL queries to pull raw data from NetSuite, then build completely custom consolidation reports in spreadsheets without NetSuite’s rigid formatting limitations. This gives you unlimited control over report structure, calculations, and presentation.
Step 2. Perform sophisticated consolidation calculations.
Build complex consolidation logic including custom intercompany eliminations, currency conversions, and allocation methodologies that would be impossible or cumbersome in NetSuite’s standard reporting framework. Use advanced formulas and pivot tables for analysis that NetSuite’s static reports cannot provide.
Step 3. Integrate multi-source data in unified consolidation workbooks.
Combine NetSuite subsidiary data with external sources, manual adjustments, or supplementary information in single consolidation templates. This overcomes NetSuite’s limitation of only reporting internal data and enables comprehensive business intelligence.
Step 4. Create real-time data processing workflows.
Access live NetSuite data through automated refreshes while maintaining the flexibility to perform instant calculations and analysis that NetSuite’s static reports cannot provide. Set up hourly, daily, or weekly refresh schedules to keep data current.
Step 5. Use advanced filtering and segmentation beyond NetSuite’s limits.
Leverage Coefficient’s filtering capabilities with AND/OR logic to create precise data extractions that support complex consolidation scenarios. Go beyond NetSuite’s limited report filtering options to get exactly the data you need for each consolidation requirement.
Break free from NetSuite’s reporting constraints
This approach is essential for organizations with complex consolidation requirements that exceed NetSuite’s standard reporting capabilities. Start building consolidation solutions that match your exact business needs without compromise.
