Beta Release Notes for Netsuite2

PR #95 (built upon #90) introduces the following updates. These changes are released in beta format to encourage community feedback and insights before the final release.

🚨 Breaking Changes 🚨

• Multi-book functionality is now disabled by default. To enable it, set the variable netsuite2__multibook_accounting_enabled to true in your dbt_project.yml.
  • ❗Note: The default behavior was updated due to addition of accounting_book fields. Depending on your Netsuite setup, adding this field can significantly increase the row count of the end models.
  • See additional details in the multi-book section below.

🎉 Features 🎉

Model updates

• For more accurate categorization of accounts, accounts having the following special_account_type_id are now categorized as:

special_account_type_id	account_type_name	account_type_id
retearnings	Retained Earnings	retained_earnings
cta-e	Cumulative Translation Adjustment	cumulative_translation_adjustment
cumultransadj	Cumulative Translation Adjustment	cumulative_translation_adjustment

• The below fields have been added for all configurations.
  • If you are leveraging a *_pass_through_columns variable to include accounting_period_id or subsidiary_id, you may need to remove them to avoid a duplicate column error.

model	new cols
netsuite2__transaction_details	accounting_period_id subsidiary_id transaction_details_id
netsuite2__income_statement	income_statement_id
netsuite2__balance_sheet	balance_sheet_id

• balance_sheet_id, income_statement_id, and transaction_details_id are surrogate keys created for each end model. These keys are now tested for uniqueness and replaces the previous combination-of-columns tests for these models.

• For detailed descriptions on the added columns, refer to our dbt docs for this package.

multi-book

• Expanded accounting_book information that is included. As mentioned above, this feature is now disabled by default. To enable it, set the below variable to true in your dbt_project.yml.
  • ❗Notes:
    • If you choose to enable this feature, this will add rows for transactions for your non-primary accounting_book_ids, and any of your downstream use cases may need to be adjusted.
    • The surrogate keys mentioned above are dynamically generated depending on your enabled/disabled features, so adding these rows should not cause test failures.
    • If you are leveraging a *_pass_through_columns variable to include the below columns, you may need to remove them to avoid a duplicate column error.

vars:
    netsuite2__multibook_accounting_enabled: true # False by default.

• The resulting fields added by enabling this feature are:

model	new cols
netsuite2__transaction_details	accounting_book_id accounting_book_name
netsuite2__income_statement	accounting_book_id accounting_book_name
netsuite2__balance_sheet	accounting_book_id accounting_book_name

to_subsidiary

• Added the option to include to_subsidiary information in all end models. This feature is disabled by default, so to enable it, set the below variable to true in your dbt_project.yml. You will also need to be using exchange rates, which is enabled by default.
  • ❗Notes:
    • If you choose to enable this feature, this will add rows for transactions where to_subsidiary is not a top-level subsidiary. Your downstream use cases may need to be adjusted.
    • The surrogate keys mentioned above are dynamically generated depending on your enabled/disabled features, so adding these rows should not cause test failures.
    • If you are leveraging a *_pass_through_columns variable to include the below columns, you may need to remove them to avoid a duplicate column error.

vars:
    netsuite2__using_to_subsidiary: true # False by default.

• The resulting fields added by enabling this feature are:

model	new cols
netsuite2__transaction_details	to_subsidiary_id to_subsidiary_name to_subsidiary_currency_symbol
netsuite2__income_statement	to_subsidiary_id to_subsidiary_name to_subsidiary_currency_symbol
netsuite2__balance_sheet	to_subsidiary_id to_subsidiary_name to_subsidiary_currency_symbol subsidiary_name

🚘 Under the hood 🚘

• Removed previously deprecated, empty model int_netsuite2__consolidated_exchange_rates.
