NetSuite Reference
Financials
The chart of accounts and the account types behind it, budgets with their per-period rows, expense categories, and the tax reference — tax codes, tax types, the tax-item supertype and the nexus jurisdictions. Journal entries and the payment documents stay on the transaction spine and are reached through the record map.

- accountThe chart of accounts: one row per account, hierarchical through parent, with its type, currency, special-account marker and the balance NetSuite maintains on it.master
- accounttypeThe account-type list: one row per type, carrying the side of the ledger it posts to, whether it belongs on the balance sheet, and the default revaluation and consolidation-rate behavior for accounts of that type.master
- budgetcategoryThe budget-category list: four columns naming the categories a budget can be filed under — the original plan, a revision, a forecast — and whether a category is global.master
- expensecategoryThe expense-category list: one row per category an expense report line can be coded to, with its default rate, whether a rate must be entered, and the account the expense posts to.master
- nexusThe nexus list: one row per tax jurisdiction the account is registered in, hierarchical through a parent nexus, with the country, state and the tax agency filings go to.master
- salestaxitemThe tax-code list: one row per tax code a transaction line can be taxed under, pointing at the tax type that decides how the tax behaves.master
- taxitemtaxgroupThe tax-item supertype: one row per tax code and tax group together, which is the surface a transaction line's tax pointer actually resolves against.master
- taxtypeThe tax-type list: one row per type, carrying the behavior flags that decide how tax under it posts — whether it adds to the transaction total, whether it lands in item cost, whether it is a reverse charge, and whether it is included in the net amount.master
