Full set: 86 questions
Answer options
A: the source may be multiple subsidiary
B: The target may be multiple subsidiaries Correct answer
C: The source must be one subsidiary Correct answer
D: the target can only be one subsidiary
Correct Answer:
B. The target may be multiple subsidiaries; C. The source must be one subsidiary
Explanation

NetSuite’s Intercompany Expense Allocation schedule is defined for one “source subsidiary”; that single subsidiary’s expenses are re-distributed. On the Lines sub-tab you may enter several “destination subsidiaries,” each with its percentage or weight, so the target can be multiple subsidiaries. Therefore option B (multiple targets) and option C (one source) are true; the opposite statements (A, D) are false.

Why Incorrect

A. Source may be multiple subsidiaries – NetSuite allows only a single source subsidiary to be chosen on an allocation schedule, so this is incorrect.
D. Target can only be one subsidiary – Multiple destination subsidiaries can be listed, each with an allocation percentage, so this is incorrect.
