“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.”
While you can’t directly sync external FX rates into NetSuite’s currency tables automatically, there’s a superior alternative that eliminates the need for NetSuite rate synchronization entirely while delivering more accurate multi-currency reporting.
Here’s how to bypass NetSuite’s rate limitations and connect directly to your preferred FX rate sources for real-time accurate reporting.
Bypass NetSuite rate synchronization with direct external rate integration
Coefficient provides a superior alternative that eliminates the need for NetSuite rate synchronization by extracting data in original currencies and applying external rates directly in your reporting workflow.
How to make it work
Step 1. Extract NetSuite data in original currencies.
Use Coefficient’s import capabilities to extract your NetSuite multi-currency data in original currencies, avoiding NetSuite’s internal conversion entirely. This gives you clean source data for accurate rate application.
Step 2. Connect directly to your preferred FX rate sources.
Integrate bank feeds, treasury systems, or market data providers within your reporting workbook. Connect to services like your bank’s rate API, Bloomberg, or other financial data providers for real-time rate updates.
Step 3. Apply real-time external rates automatically.
Create formulas that apply current or historical external rates to your NetSuite data automatically. For example: =B2*INDEX(BankRates,MATCH(C2,CurrencyList,0),MATCH(TODAY(),DateRange,1)) to use your bank’s current rates for today’s conversions.
Step 4. Schedule automated refresh workflows.
Configure both NetSuite data extraction and external rate updates to refresh automatically, creating continuously updated reporting that’s more accurate than NetSuite’s native capabilities. No need to manage NetSuite’s currency table updates or work within system limitations.
Get more accurate reporting than NetSuite’s native multi-currency functionality
This approach provides real-time rate updates without NetSuite system limitations, complete audit trails of rate sources, and flexibility to apply different rate methodologies per reporting requirement. Start building more accurate multi-currency reporting today.
