Donors also get an advantage from this latest feature with the choice to govern their donations from the SuiteCommerce MyAccount page. Along with that, grantors can get the tax receipts with the Tax ID number of the nonprofit and the date and amount, making minimum labor for the nonprofit workers and providing grantors their required level of visibility and documentation.

Up-to-Date Insight on Cash-on-Hand, Allocations and Future Cash Flows  

• Beginning with NetSuite 2020 Release 2, accountants, operators, and AP and AR clerks had the capability to match intercompany invoices and bills.

By using the Cash 360 dashboard, companies have updated insight into their cash condition to assure sufficient cash at the ready, as well as predicting abilities through an all-round view dashboard presenting complete visibility into cash flows six months out. Predicted cash flows constitute present NetSuite transactional data as well as predicted collections and expenditures. They can also be modified to add any transactions affecting the cash flow prediction – like capital expenses and important non-cash donations – to make the prediction more complete, interactive, and precise, as well as distinctive to the company’s condition.

• The employee expenditure allowance characteristics automate payment expenses (salary + fringe benefits) allotment to a program project or grant, providing pivotal visibility into the expenditures of a program or project, as well as simplifying the procedures of billing expense to a donor on cost-remuneration grants. While this capacity has been accessible before as a part of the NetSuite SuiteSuccess Social Impact Edition, now it is being expanded for use by every NetSuite consumer.

Ease in Billing One-Time and Recurring Donations 

• The latest characteristics around immense consumer payments liberate the accounting section from requiring to document and apply donor offerings to open invoices on a per donor basis. Now, payments can be received from various consumers on the same NetSuite screen. For nonprofits with repeating donors, planned credit card payments for frequent transactions are automatically made on the basis of user-specified dates, both accelerating and enhancing accuracy in the process. 

More Tools to Enable Strong, Consistent Performance Management

Workers can delete unsanctioned, coincidental, or unrequired goals. Administrators and their direct reports achieve finer alliance and communication by permitting both parties to observe any alterations or development on a goal in one place. The new manager digest feature, which contains a monthly email that maintains managers updated on their team’s attainments, goal developments, and fields that require their observation, further enhances organizational alignment.
