Trial Balance (SuSa)
NetSuite’s native Trial Balance covers the basics — but for companies with German or European reporting requirements, critical features are missing: proper fiscal year segmentation, GAAP-compliant retained earnings postings, and reliable exports even with large data volumes.
The Trial Balance (Summen & Saldenliste / SuSa) by fourangle solves exactly these problems — directly in NetSuite, without external tools, seamlessly integrated.
for Oracle NetSuite
The Trial Balance that NetSuite is missing — with full German GAAP compliance.

Local GAAP Compliant — Even with a US-Centric NetSuite Setup Automatic Fiscal Year Segmentation: For cross-year queries, P&L accounts are automatically reset to zero at the fiscal year end. The annual result is correctly transferred to Retained Earnings — even without a manual year-end close in NetSuite. Fiscal Year Override: Your NetSuite uses a 4-4-5 calendar or a fiscal year that differs from the subsidiary’s reporting year? No problem — the FY start date can be individually configured via a script parameter (e.g., Nov 1 for a November–October fiscal year under German GAAP/HGB). Virtual Historical Close: Historical P&L balances are virtually transferred to Retained Earnings, ensuring the balance sheet is correctly balanced even without NetSuite-side closing entries. |

Who Is the SuSa For?
The Trial Balance is designed for CFOs, controllers, and accountants in organizations running Oracle NetSuite — particularly those with German, Austrian, or Swiss subsidiaries that require local GAAP-compliant reporting. Ideal for international groups with multi-subsidiary structures where the NetSuite setup is primarily geared towards US GAAP or the 4-4-5 calendar.
