Enhancements
Custom Segments Support
ExtendInsights Financial Reporting now supports Custom Segments as filters within XAVI formulas. You can now filter report data by custom NetSuite segments (e.g. Brand, Product Line, Region) directly from the add-in.
Prerequisites
Before using Custom Segments in ExtendInsights Financial Reporting, your NetSuite user account must have the appropriate permissions.
NetSuite Administrators
To enable Custom Segments for a user, grant the following permissions to their NetSuite role:
Permission | Purpose |
Custom Segments | Allows the role to access the Custom Segments feature. |
Individual Custom Segment Permissions | Grant access to each specific Custom Segment (for example, Brand, Region, or Product Line) that users need to filter by. |
Read!
Each Custom Segment requires its own permission.
Granting access to the Custom Segments feature alone does not automatically provide access to every custom segment.
Permission > Setup > Custom Segment
Permission > Setup > Individual Custom Segment (Look for custom segment name)
➡️ For Full NetSuite Permission Prerequisites: Admin: Configure NetSuite for ExtendInsights Financial Reporting(XAVI)
Custom Period Support
ExtendInsights now recognizes custom accounting period names configured in NetSuite.
For example, if your organization renamed:
Jan 2025
to
April 25
the same name now appears throughout ExtendInsights reports.
Current limitation
This feature is not yet supported for NetSuite OneWorld accounts with the Multiple Calendars feature enabled (accounts where different subsidiaries operate on different fiscal calendars with custom period names).
Support for this will be included in a future release.
Performance Improvements
Transactions, RE, and CTA Formula Performance
This release completes the performance improvements introduced throughout July.
The following formulas now calculate approximately 50% faster:
Transactions
Retained Earnings (RE)
CTA
Together with the July releases, nearly every major XAVI formula has now been optimized for significantly faster report generation.
Bug Fixes
Setting up Things loading screen: Users with valid licenses were, in some cases, seeing a continuous loading screen on app open. This is now fixed.
New user connection not showing: After a new user connected to NetSuite, the connection was not appearing on the connections page. This is resolved.
Inappropriate error messages for custom roles: Users with custom NetSuite roles missing certain permissions were seeing generic error messages. Errors are now specific and actionable.
Balance Sheet output not fully matching NetSuite: Certain balance sheet calculations were producing results that did not fully match the NetSuite output. This has been corrected.
Session Expired message: The session expiry message was not appearing correctly in some cases. This is now handled properly.

CFO Report — ~71% improvement
Income Statement — ~85% improvement
Enhancements
NetSuite Accounts List Matching by Year and Filter Selection
The account list in reports now dynamically matches based on the selected year and filter, ensuring only relevant accounts are shown for the reporting period selected.
Remove Debit/Credit Columns from Balance Report
The balance report now aligns with NetSuite's native format by removing the separate debit and credit columns, presenting a cleaner, more familiar output.
Wildcard Account Query Performance
BALANCE and Budget formulas using wildcard account queries (e.g. 4*) now resolve significantly faster, reducing #BUSY! states in Excel.
Period Name Support in Formula Parameters
XAVI formulas now accept period names directly (e.g. Jan 2025, January 2025, Jan_2025) instead of requiring internal period IDs. Internal period IDs are now deprecated.
Fixed Issues
Accounting Book filter: The filter was not being populated when generating NetSuite reports. This is now fixed.
Budget Report value reset: Values were resetting after changing the Budget Category filter. This is now fixed.
Manual Preload formula resolution: Manual Preload under Performance Tools was not resolving all formula values. This is now fixed.
Drill-down period format: Drill-down was not working when the period was entered as a full month name (e.g. "January"). Now supports both full names and abbreviations.
Connection reset on logout: Active connection was resetting to a previously selected connection after logout. This is now fixed.
NetSuite rate limit error: "NetSuite request limit exceeded" errors are now handled, reducing user-facing errors on large reports.
Refresh notification timing: The refresh notification was appearing before values were fully refreshed in the sheet. This is now fixed.
Subsidiary filter — HH Inc. vs HH Inc. (Consolidated): The filter was not distinguishing between the two. This is now fixed.
Continuous loading screen for unlicensed users: Users without an FRE license were seeing a continuous "Setting up things..." screen. This is now fixed.
Sample report — missing currency values and filters: Currency values were missing, and filters were not working on sample reports. This is now fixed.
UI observations — FRE standalone app: A set of UI fixes applied to the FRE add-in.
