hey @calder-holt working on this rn -- seems straightforward enough, but i'm curious about your use case, specifically around accountingbooksubsidiary
. do y'all not use that functionality in Netsuite?
also i've got a working branch if you'd like to try it out!
packages:
- git: https://github.com/fivetran/dbt_netsuite.git
revision: feature/disable-vc-abs
warn-unpinned: false
Thanks @fivetran-jamie! We actually encountered a handful of areas in the package that are features we don't use in Netsuite. We weren't using accountingbook, accountingbooksubsidiary, and vendorcategory because we don't use multi-book accounting.
Ah i see -- does that mean you don't have an accountingbook
source table either? Or any other source tables?
Also are vendor categories a multi-book accounting thing as well? Or just another Netsuite feature y'all don't use?
Correct we also don't have an accountingbook table. I believe we don't have the functionality for vendorcategory (the table does not sync)
gotcha, so are you seeing errors around accountingbook
models as well? i'm wondering if we can consolidate this all into a using_multibook_accounting
variable that would disable all the necessary tables (hence my vendor category question)
I think that would be a good plan
this fix is in v0.6.2! there's a netsuite2__multibook_accounting_enabled
var and netsuite2__using_vendor_categories
var that are both true by default
Is there an existing feature request for this?
Describe the Feature
Similar to the way you can disable features in the jira package it would be nice to be able to disable source and staging models that flow into the transaction details model if you are not using that functionality in netsuite. We are not using the
vendorcategory
oraccountingbooksubsidiary
sources so they do not flow through our Fivetran connector, and we cannot use the package. If we could disable the sources flowing into the model the same way you can here, we could use the models and test them out.Describe alternatives you've considered
Rewriting our own transaction details model without the sources we do not use.
Are you interested in contributing this feature?
Anything else?
