# Configurations

Configurations is the subsidiary-level settings page in the NetSuite Admin view. Everything here applies to a specific subsidiary: the one currently selected in the subsidiary switcher at the top of the screen.

Each subsidiary in your NetSuite account can have its own payment setup, branding, custom forms, session variables, tax engine, and locations configured independently.
