Cross-Validation Rules in NetSuite

Faster close.
Cleaner data.

Cross-Validation Rules (CVRs) by Netgain give NetSuite users a powerful way to prevent errors at the source. Automatically block any mix-up of account, subsidiary, segment, transaction field or user on every transaction type, so errors never reach your general ledger.

Big-league ERPs like Oracle, SAP, and Dynamics have shipped this safety net for years; now NetSuite users finally get the same protection.

Cross-Validation Rules FAQs

What are Cross-Validation Rules in NetSuite?

Cross-Validation Rules (CVRs) are automated checks that prevent invalid combinations of accounts, departments, classes, locations, subsidiaries, or custom segments from being posted in NetSuite. By blocking errors at the point of entry, CVRs help finance teams keep data clean and accelerate the month-end close.

How do Cross-Validation Rules improve the month-end close process?

Many delays in the financial close come from correcting mis-coded entries. With CVRs, errors are stopped before they reach the general ledger. This means fewer reclasses, faster reconciliations, and a smoother month-end close cycle.

Why are Cross-Validation Rules important for a faster financial close?

A clean ledger is the foundation of a fast close. Cross-Validation Rules reduce manual corrections, cut down rework, and improve compliance—giving controllers and CFOs the confidence to close the books faster and more accurately.

Can finance teams set up Cross-Validation Rules without developers?

Yes. Netgain’s Cross-Validation Rules are built with a click-to-configure designer. Finance admins can create rules in minutes without IT support, making it easy to adapt as your business grows.

How do Cross-Validation Rules help with audit readiness?

Because CVRs prevent errors at the source, your month-end and year-end financials are cleaner. This reduces the risk of control breakdowns and ensures you’re always audit-ready.

How do Cross-Validation Rules compare to manual controls in NetSuite?

Manual detective controls rely on after-the-fact reviews and spreadsheets, which slow down the financial close. Cross-Validation Rules automate those checks directly in NetSuite, giving you proactive error prevention instead of reactive fixes.
