# Configurations

The Configurations page: per-subsidiary settings for payments, branding, custom forms, tax, session variables, and locations

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.

## About the Payment Events custom record

SphericalBRM automatically installs a custom record called **Payment Event** (or **BRM Payment Event**) in your NetSuite account. This record logs the history of every payment transaction processed through SphericalBRM — including the event type, processor used, transaction status, and amounts. Payment events are used internally to prevent duplicate charges and to provide an audit trail for payment reconciliation.

**You do not need to configure this record.** It is installed and managed automatically by the SphericalBRM bundle. NetSuite admins can view payment event records if needed for auditing or troubleshooting, but they are not intended for manual editing. If you need to investigate payment issues or generate an audit report, contact In8Sync support for guidance.
