Congratulations! You are ready to go live with NetSuite! Before you start entering live transactions, the Opening Balance Sheet needs to be entered; this is your starting balance for your financial statements. Normally, this is a simple Journal Entry upload of your last closed period’s Balance Sheet. However, if you have Intercompany Accounts with balances, then a simple one step Journal Entry will not be enough.

Troubleshoot Integration Concurrency Problems
What is Integration Governance? Integration Governance helps manage the multiple 3rd party integration calls or internal script requests. It is very likely you may run into a concurrency issue if your NetSuite environment is heavily customized with scripts, have several API or EDI connections such as marketplace integrations (Amazon, eBay, HomeDepot, etc), and/or have 3PL connections. NetSuite limits the number of simultaneous calls into NetSuite at one time. When this happens, your call will fail and result in an error.
