NetSuite’s different modules (AR, AP, GL, Inventory, etc.) can apply currency conversion at different points in transaction processing, creating reconciliation challenges when the same transaction appears with different converted amounts across modules.
Here’s how to create cross-module currency reconciliation analysis with consistent conversion methodology and automated variance reporting.
Unify currency conversion across all NetSuite modules with consistent rate application
Coefficient provides a comprehensive solution for currency reconciliation by enabling cross-module analysis with consistent conversion methodology that bypasses NetSuite’s module-specific conversion timing.
How to make it work
Step 1. Extract the same transactions from different NetSuite modules.
Use Coefficient’s Records & Lists import to extract transactions from different NetSuite modules (invoices from AR, payments from AP, journal entries from GL) with their original currency amounts and conversion details.
Step 2. Apply unified conversion analysis across all modules.
Create consistent exchange rate logic across all modules, bypassing NetSuite’s module-specific conversion timing. Use formulas like =OriginalAmount*VLOOKUP(Currency&”|”&TransactionDate,UnifiedRates,3,FALSE) to apply the same rate methodology regardless of source module.
Step 3. Build automated reconciliation reports with variance analysis.
Create reports that compare converted amounts across modules for the same transactions, identify discrepancies caused by different conversion timing, calculate variance impact of module-specific rate application, and provide drill-down capability to transaction-level detail.
Step 4. Set up root cause analysis for conversion differences.
Build analysis that shows exactly when and why currency conversion differences occur between modules. Create executive summaries showing total currency conversion variances, detailed variance analysis for accounting teams, and transaction-level reconciliation reports for audit purposes. Schedule refreshes to keep your NetSuite reconciliation current.
Get the cross-module currency visibility you need for accurate accounting
This approach provides much more detailed foreign exchange reconciliation than possible within NetSuite’s native reporting while maintaining automated refresh capabilities for live data analysis. Start building comprehensive module reconciliation today.
