“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.”
Month-end close requires different NetSuite data at different times, but manual imports create delays and coordination problems. You need scheduled data imports that align with your close timeline and deliver the right information when teams need it.
Here’s how to schedule NetSuite data imports that optimize your month-end close workflow and eliminate manual data compilation.
Automate close data delivery using Coefficient
Coefficient’s scheduling capabilities are designed for month-end close processes, allowing you to automate NetSuite data imports to Google Sheets based on close timeline requirements. This transforms reactive close management into proactive monitoring with automatic data delivery.
How to make it work
Step 1. Set up flexible timing based on close phases.
Configure different refresh schedules: hourly during active close days (typically days 1-5) for real-time task and transaction monitoring, daily for ongoing close preparation throughout the month, and weekly for preliminary close planning and trend analysis.
Step 2. Coordinate multiple import schedules.
Schedule different NetSuite data types for optimal close workflow: Day 1 gets transaction data and outstanding items via Saved Searches, daily imports handle task completion status and custom close records, Day 3 brings updated financial reports, and final day imports comprehensive close validation data.
Step 3. Align with your team’s timezone.
Coefficient uses the timezone of the user who scheduled the task, ensuring imports align with your accounting team’s close schedule and business hours. This prevents data updates during off-hours when teams can’t act on the information.
Step 4. Maintain manual override capabilities.
Keep manual refresh options available for immediate updates when critical close milestones are reached or urgent data validation is needed. This provides flexibility within your automated schedule.
Transform reactive close management into proactive monitoring
Scheduled NetSuite imports ensure stakeholders receive updated close status automatically rather than waiting for manual data compilation. Set up your automated close data schedule and eliminate coordination delays from your month-end process.
