What do local budgets depend upon when subsystems view their budgets?

Local budgets primarily depend on local and root company currencies when subsystems view their budgets because these currencies determine how financial data is presented and managed within the NetSuite environment.

In a multi-currency setting, each subsidiary may operate in a different local currency, which is essential for accurate financial reporting and budget management. The root company, often referred to as the parent company, typically has its own currency, which serves as a baseline for consolidating financial reports across subsidiaries. This relationship allows for effective comparisons and reconciliations between local subsidiary financials and the overall financial position of the company. By translating local budgets into the root company's currency when necessary, organizations can ensure consistency and clarity in their financial analysis and decision-making processes.

This currency relationship is crucial in managing budgets and forecasting, as it provides a clear understanding of how local financial performance relates to the entire organization's financial goals.
